Log Cabin Seasons



It's been raining so much and the temperatures have been so cool for April.  In the evenings I grab my punch needle and spend a little time punching.  I designed the Log Cabin Seasons they can be made into little mug rugs or enlarged for little mats.

I used Valdani pearl cottons size #8 for the samples.  I have listed the pattern for the Log Cabin Seasons as well as the patttern below "Little Log Cabin On The Prairie" over  at my etsy if you are interested.



Little Betty Rae is getting so big and has been walking quite a bit.  She wants to keep up with her big sister and cousin.

Eva Mae turned 3 years old on Sunday!  My goodness it is amazing how fast 3 years has gone bye.




Sloan is getting to where he has a lot of fun taking selfies and each day that I have him seems like I have new ones and videos on my phone!  Today we were at the office after he got out of school and kept himself entertained as you can see!




It is suppose to warm up later this week and I must say I am looking forward to some warmer days even if it does mean back to mowing the lawn and outside chores!  For now think I will find my punch needle and see what happens :)

Happy Trails....Ginger

Little Log Cabin On The Prairie

 
I have been punching again with the Valdani Pearl Cotton #8's.  Such wonderfully dyed colors.
The Little Log Cabin On The Prairie is a pattern I will have available later this week.  You will be able to find it in my etsy shop.
 
Our spring days have been filled with lots of rainy days....the grass is so green and the skies have been so very blue.  Our big red barn is still waiting to be built.  The rains have delayed the builders but we shall not complain about the rains that bring moisture to our pasture grasses and ponds.  We shall just call them showers of blessings!
 
We are very thankful to have my dad back out of the hospital again.  He had quite a bad week last week and we so appreciate all the thoughts and prayers.  
 
This weekend we will celebrate the 3rd Birthday of Eva Mae....my goodness how fast time goes by.
 
I've been hooking, punching, and crocheting in between work, little league baseball games, and everyday chores.  I even tag along a little project to work to do any chance I can get :)  I day with stitching or hooking makes for a happy day here at the farm!

Farm Fresh


 
Farm Fresh is always best!  I've been punching quite a bit lately and using lots of Valdani pearl cottons.  Sure love the way the colors flow throughout your pieces.

Hand dyed wool threads are fun to use, too!
