My little Nook


My little Nook for punch needle and Rug Hooking

Thought I would show where I do my punching..very comfortable! Hope it gives people some ideas. The light is an artist light with two kinds of bulbs for true color or daylight color..but I still try and pull my colors in daylight. The hookers frame is attached the table and the frame rotates...it makes punching easier. The little drawer and the cabinet hold the threads and essentials.

Cake Stand Pattern




Good morning everyone, I spent the weekend punching this yummy dessert stand. It features cakes, petite fours, and cupcakes. it would make a wonderful framed picture or mini pillow for the kitchen. It is available at my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/briarcottageas a digital download. Have a wonderful day. 
Springs on the way!

Two new Patterns




Good morning all you punchers out there!
It's a bright and sunny day in the burgh, but cold!

I would like to announce two new patterns in my Etsy shop. They are available to download. Not let me worn you the train should be printed on legal paper. It is long and narrow 14"  x 2 1/4". I made it into a pillow, for a little boys room. We don't get many punch needles for little boys, so I decided to design one. 

Have a wonderful day,
Kate

Fairy House Bed




The Fairy Bed

I am starting to see signs of life at the fairy house, now that there is a warm cozy bed.

The bed is made from twigs Flower buds, tiny acorns and three candles for reading. 
The bedspread is nuno felted, from wool and silk chiffon, hand dyed in my favorite verdi and gray.

I have many items to finish up today for the new month. So I'd better get going. Busy, busy, busy.
