Needle Punch Peep & Tulip

Photobucket


Peep and Tulip Punchneedle

Is it Spring Yet??? Thanks for stopping by to view a few of my new Spring Thyme offerings.

Here is a little spring peep and tulip needle punch that I mounted on a mini bread or chopping board. It is the cutest little board I found at a local antiques store. There is a handle and a leather tie. I did my punching on weavers cloth with beautiful Valdani threads, it was coffee dyed and then mounted with an acid free adhesive. You can't tell from the photo but the boarder is a dark purple to accent the tulip. I also nailed in some carpet tacks to give it a little bit more of a prim appearance. Measurements are including handle, 7 3/4" long x 3 1/2" wide. If you are finding yourself in need of a little more something for an Easter basket or a display, this small punch would be perfect. Designed and punched by me, copyright, dated and signed.

Needle Punch Bee Skep

Photobucket


My second offering this week is for my Needle Punch Bee Skep. It looks very old punched with the darker background threads and has the feel of an old carpet or rug. I used Valdani threads, punched on weavers cloth and then mounted to this old wood pan with acid free adhesive and carpet tacks. I think this unusual board was some kind of dust pan or bread crumb catcher. I'm not for sure on that, but I just thought it was a neat board. There are also some curly etching in the wood. There is a slot at the top for hanging on a nail. I slipped a piece of brown suede cord through the slot for hanging longer. It can be removed it you want. The measurements are 7" wide by 6" long. A one of a kind designed and punched by me. It will be signed, dated and copyright.

Cost is $29.95 with free shipping

Bee Skep Hanging Stitchery

Photobucket



I have stitched on a little hanging pinkeep stitchery of a bee skep, bees and some curly vines. It was stitched all in very dark brown almost black with 2 strands of dmc threads on Moda fabric. I used a waxy dark brown twine for the hanger which was attached with rusty safety pins, bells and bows. It's an adorable spring thyme hanger for a peg, nail or knob. It was very lightly coffee dyed, the backing (which I forgot to photo is tan with tiny white flowers, take my word for it, it is pretty and compliments the front perfectly). I stuffed it with some polyfil and muslin snipets. The measurements are a tiny 3"wide x 5"long. Designed and stitched by me, it will be copyright, dated and signed. Bring some spring into your home, its long overdue!!
