WIP

.

A couple of days ago I said I'd have new stuff to show you. The framed piece I was working on, almost done with actually, was put on hold because I wore out the punch I was using for the final border. I considered my options in looking for a replacement locally, but ultimately opted for ordering one from my favorite punch vendor, Scrappily Ever After. I seem to get my orders incredibly fast from them, considering they are in TX. They ship the same day I order, charging actual freight. That punch should be here in a couple of days so I set that project aside.

Meanwhile, I've been stitching these pieces for a set of 6 Flip Flop Sticky Notes for an order. (Hi Kathy!) Aren't they delicious? I'm also doing yellow, teal and blue. I'll post them when they are all done - and add them to the Pine Tree Designs website too. I want to make up a ton of these for the Webster show in August.

I'm also simultaneously working on the stitching part for another mandala for Stephanie. This is one that uses that tiny hand punch I love - plus the new foot punch I bought from the aforementioned Scrappily Ever After. Should be cute - I'll post that one too.

You would be surprised how much stitching I get done in the bits of time I grab during the week. I work two hours every morning before going to the day job, 30 minutes on my lunch hour and usually at least another 30 minutes after dinner. Steve and I eat dinner in front of the TV and I always finish eating first so I immediately start stitching while we finish the show we're watching.

Such fun!
