I HAVE BEEN BUSY.

Sorry, I've been away so long, I've been busy as a bee. I can't show many pictures now, but my table is loaded with things that need finished.  Just a start, I have purchased more fabric...

 I got these at Hancock Fabrics and Hobby Lobby. This next picture is what I have on my table to be assembled:

 

This is a pattern from Hudson's Holiday Designs. It's a Springtime pattern, but I'm making it a Halloween mouse on a pin cushion. It mounts on a wooden candlestick. I still have the mouse to cut out.

These came in the mail this week. I love Brenda's patterns. These have 3 designs each. I do have one completed cross stitch finish:

Prairie Schooler - Witches, Bats and Cats. It is just a little ornament. I added some Vintage looking Halloween trim around it.
Next is a little bat I designed.

 It is only 1 inch. I wanted it to fit in this little square.  I have it hanging on my Lanyard that I use to put my clothes pins on to needle punch. That way they spin around and never the thread doesn't tangle. I got the idea from a fellow puncher. Thank you Ronda!  I also designed a cat and a witch's hat. The cat took me a while to get his head just right and for it to fit in a 1 inch square. The Bat metal pendant is a little smaller that an inch, that is why it's a close call with his wings..
I have been thinking for a while of starting another blog. I'm wanting to make different things and maybe try to sell them.  I love the primitive designs. I didn't want to do this on Ebay or Etsy.  Just wanted a blog to list a few things every once in a while.
If you would like to follow the new blog, please come by and check out what I'm making in the Old Homestead Needleworkes Shop.
It will be a blog of selling item. I mixture of needlework and old found objects. So. if you are interested or just want to see what one of a kind items I'm creating please click on this link:
