Bessy Angel Bunny

I finally tried my hand at Needle Punch. This little gal is of course 3 dimensional. She is not yet finished but couldn't wait to share her with you all. The back side is of course also finished. She is free standing and weighted.

 As I stated above the back side is also finished.  If you haven't tried your hand at punch needle embroidery give it a try. It is a lot of fun.

This beauty has found a new home in Michigan.

Working On

A really unique bunny rabbit. She is a ballerina. I am having fun playing with dolls this week.

Teaching Classes

This week I was asked if I would teach a class on my Three Dimensional Pumpkin. I want every one to Know that I would be happy to teach classes on any of my Dimensional pieces. Please contact me directly for this. 

It was also brought to my attention that some people have been asked to teach my process of making some of my dimensional rug hooked creations. So I thought I would make this clear how I feel about this.

Please do not use my patterns to teach classes. I work hard to come up with the unique pieces I create and love to share this in pattern making. But for another teacher to teach my pattern I believe is wrong.

I would love to teach you or your group how to do dimensional rug hooking. It is a lot of fun.

Our daughter

Our daughter Angela finds herself in a very difficult situation.

She had to relocate to a new location. Has been trying to find a job for two months to no avail. Can not collect unemployment due to having to quit to relocate.

First of all if you know of any jobs in the Boulder Colorado area please let me know. Secondly she needs to make her rent payment and has no money to do this.

If you could consider helping her out.

I want to express heart felt thanks to those of you who have given to Angela to help her get through this hurtle of life. She is a very giving person and will pay it forward when she is back on her feet. This is just the type of person she is.

My auction on ebay this week the funds will go to Angela.

Things with wings is the theme for this fun art challenge.

Punch Needle

Okay first of all can you tell me what is the correct way to word this artform?

Is is punchneedle, needle punch, or punch needle?

I finally tried this art form. I used a Cameo punch needle to do this. My snap dragon rug frame came in handy and I am glad I used it.

I am really enjoying this. Might even be able to sell this piece as it is easy to do this and coming along great. Will post a photo of my finished creation if it comes together. Need less to say this will be a dimensional piece as I long doing 3-D art forms.

Stay tuned.

Mammy Tissue Cover

Been playing with a new photo shop and I do not have it down yet.

I decided to make myself a Mammy Tissue Cover in pinks and green. I love how it turned out.

If you are interested in me making one for you let me know..

Valentine Ornie

Thought I would let you all see the ornie I came up with for the Valentine tree that we will be auctioning of on Ebay. See my last post.

Making a Valetine Ornie

The Pfatt ladies are creating a Valentine tree to auction off on Ebay.

All proceeds going to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc.-Alabama Chapter. Yesterdays ornament was adorable but it was to large. So today I am trying my hand at a new design.

To visit Penny's blog about her living with Acute Leukemia here is the link. This is what prompted the desire to help where we could. Thus the Valentine tree auction will be soon.

Also to be updated on when the auction will be visit our Pfatt blog. Our dear Christy wrote a wonderful biography about our sister Penny on the blog. Thank you Christy!!!
