More Colorado Wildlife

We have seen three bears since we have been here.

This week two bear within about 5 minutes time. 

A big brown bear. This photo was taken through the window so isn't the best.

The other bear was black with a brown muzzle. It never did come very close. It seemed spooked. 

Many mule deer call this home.

This year we have some bucks. I did see a fawn while walking the other day. The doe's will start bringing them by soon. I will share some photos soon. 

Squirrel

We also have a black squirrel that looks just like this. They have now lost their tufts of fur on their ears. The tufts made them look like rabbit ears.
The gray squirrel loves to chase the black on all over the hills. They are comics.

Chipmunks

These are all over the hills.

We also have rabbits but I have not been able to get a good photo.

We are so happy to be in Colorado this summer. Enjoying the wildlife can't be beat.

Punch Needle Flower Doll

I have finished my Punch Needle Flower Girl.

She is a free standing doll with a front and back needle punched body.

Also have a pumpinhead doll in the works. You will be able to use this doll everyday. I love making dolls that can be used. Curious stayed tuned as to what this doll might be.

I have two other punch needle projects in the works both are Halloween themes. I am planning on making some of these needle punch dolls into patterns. 

Lots of ideas

Enjoying the creativity swimming around in my head and working it's way out in hands on creations. 

I have a little black girl in the works. I do not do Caucasian dolls very often but my Mother Goose Pfatt Challenge doll is a Caucasion doll.This doll will follow the Mother Goose Rhythm of Mary's Canary. I also have another Mary's Canary doll in my mind that will find it's way to creation. 

MARY'S CANARY

Mary had a pretty bird,
Feathers bright and yellow,
Slender legs--upon my word
He was a pretty fellow!

The sweetest note he always sung,
Which much delighted Mary.
She often, where the cage was hung,
Sat hearing her canary.

I also have a new needle punch doll that I will be working on soon. 

Let me know if you want me to try my hand at making any of these punch needle dolls into patterns. 

Here is a picture of my last needle punch doll.
