Cameo Needle Punch Extra

Just ordered another Cameo Needle Punch. I have often thought it would be easier to not have to change the threads all the time. I think having another Needle Punch will help a lot. Looking forward to punching several of my witches boots. I hope to have these available in a few months

For those who purchase needle punch patterns. Do most have them have a list of the colors of floss used? 

That is the hard part as I tend to over dye my floss to make it grungy and use several different kinds of floss. Mainly what I have on hand. I am thinking this is an important part to creating these patterns. I am sure many would go ahead and create their own color palette but there are others who would use the same floss I use in my project.

I was lucky and found a great buy on some weavers cloth. So I have A LOT of weavers cloth. In fact maybe enough to last a life time.

Possibilities

Have been trying to decide what creative art I would like to do next. Sometimes the choosing of what to do keeps me from actually doing. 

Maybe I will create a needle punch Easter doll. 

Or maybe start the work needed to get my witch's boot needle punch designs out in pattern form.

Maybe I might work more on designing the memorial hooked rug of my Grandparents farm outside of Unionville MO.

Maybe I could make a wonderful large black mammy doll. 

Okay maybe I should do all then I won't have to choose. :) 

Have a great day whatever you Choose to do.

Blast from the Past

I have been going through archived photos of my art career as a doll maker and fiber artist.

Here are just a few of the photos I am falling in love with all over again. 

I used to make very large dolls but have downsized them due to living space and shipping charges for my customers. Some of these are paper mache doll sets. 

Thought you might enjoy seeing a few.

I do regret that some of the photos are not the best. 

Recooping

After a lot of hard work in distribution of Christmas trees we are in Quartzsite enjoying some much needed rest. I have read several books while we have been here. Before we left Phoenix I downloaded Kindle to my PC. I enjoy reading books on the computer but need to have regular books around too. As we both share this computer. I hope to purchase an Ebook reader like Kindle Fire or a Toshiba Thrive in 2012

Today we will head to the Rock & Gem show. I hope to find some earrings. I keep loosing one so many of my sets are singles now. Ugggghhhhh. Looks like it will be a gorgeous day for a walk around the booths. 

Hopefully my mind and hands will come together to start creating again soon. I have a skeleton witches boot design already drawn and ready to needle punch. I am perfecting the construction of these witch's boots and hope to release these as patterns this year. I have two designs already this it the third. Of course Spring is just around the corner so maybe some other things will be created for that season of joy.

Gingerbread Kleenex Cover Doll

This sweet gingerbread doll will add cheer to any decor. The doll is made from paint stained muslin fabric. Her face is hand painted and sealed. The Kleenex come up through her mixing bowl. The gingerbread doll's dress has little gingerbread all over it and very tiny candy canes.
Rich brown fabric trims her dress and the white rick rack adds a fun appeal. The button on her dress looks like a pearl button. Her head bow is made from green and red homespun fabric. The spoon is painted green with white painted ribbon accents to bring out the green in the head bow. This spoon is also
coffee stained. This is the last Gingerbread Tissue Cover I plan on making this year.  

She is about 14" tall.
Does not include the tissue box.

Christmas Trees & Primitives

This year we are running the distribution lot for 

Valley View Trees 

Serving the Phoenix Tucson Sierra Vista and San Diego areas.

David comes in and the scent of trees envelopes the house. It is a very demanding and time consuming job but he is enjoying it. I am helping with paper work and things. 

Today will find me also finishing a Gingerbread Kleenex Cover doll. This one is in browns and greens.

Will post a picture and might sell the doll on facebook. So stay tuned as I will post photos as soon as I can.

I have also started several new Black Cat Ornies. These are a new design so will see how they turn out.

My Dimensional Rug Hooking Blog

 

In my art I find myself traveling many different avenues of mediums. One of my favorites is rug hooking. This love prompted me to start a blog called dimensional rug hooking. Some of those who follow my art are interested in Rug Hooking and Needle Punch only. Since I also am a doll maker I felt that it was a good idea to try to separate the two. Although I still do post my rug hooking creations here in my BeFRuiTFuL KReaTioNS Blog

 

My Dimensional Rug Hooking Blog

 

Over the last week I have been working on a Rug Hooked Cat Purse.  I am hoping to make this into my next pattern. This will be a little challenging to write a pattern for so wish me luck with this. 

Our Cat has been the model for this purse. Here he is.

 

 

I will be posting photos of the cat purse shortly.
