*Finished Dutch Strawberries*

I couldn't wait...

I used an unfinished woodend frame, painted it black,

distressed it and stained it.

I'm very happy with the result YEAH :)

*Wool*

That is my latest project I'm working on...almost done...it is going

to be a little bag :)

A design from Wendy aka *Pineberry Lane*

she has awesome patterns from Punch Needle, Cross Stitch

to Doll patterns...

I start to like Punch Needle...takes a little of practice but when

you get the hang of it, it is pretty fun!

I thought I would show you some of my projects I was working on

now I will go back and make some more banners :)...I will keep you updated

I stitched this lovely sampler from a design by

*The Goode Huswife*

I think it looks so unique...I will probably frame it...

*HAPPY MOTHERS DAY*

Liebe Mama

Hab' vieles dir nicht leicht gemacht
Oft Sorgen und Kummer
In's Haus dir gebracht

Ich hör' dich noch sagen . . .
Hoffentlich bist du bald groß!
Du hattest mit mir - kein leichtes Los

Doch gab es auch Stunden
In fröhlichen Runden
Mit Scherzen und Lachen
Manch' lustiger Sachen

Wir teilten die Freude
Auch Kummer und Schmerz
Für mich immer da
War dein Mutterherz

Bin lang schon erwachsen
Und steh' nun hier
Um dir zu sagen "Ich danke dir"
Für all die Stunden
Die du mir geschenkt.

Ich hab dich lieb!

Deine Ivonne

*Sophie*

Awww...I remember *Sophie* she was the last doll I made last year

in October before I put my sewing machine away :(

I have to admit, I only made 1 doll for myself and I used a

pattern for her...sooo I thought it would be a great idea

to start with the same doll I left off with...she will stay with me :)

I'm not sure if I will make dolls in the future I have to see

how this one goes...and if people are interested in my dolls again...
