This week I have been working on and off, on different projects. One is a new punch needle design that I am working on, today I finished the main design, now I just have to add a border. It is always nice to see a piece in a photo, then I can decided what I do and don't like about it and of course, it always looks better when I antique it;) I think the hands need more definition, but overall I am happy with the piece.
A bit late for Valentines, but I was inspired by an antique fraktur and wanted to make this piece.
Another thing I have coming up is, my son's birthday. We gifted him money to pay for some things for his house and a loan to do the rest, so no big present, but I wanted to give him a little something. I found a nice frame and made up photos of Nicholas to hang in his office, he can change the photos when the new baby comes, but I liked the idea of doing 3 of Nick, just being a boy and having fun. The photos are 5" x 7", so today I learned how to adjust my photo sizes in photoshop;)
I always found some beach frames for my new room. Someday I will use the room, but for now, I am happy just decorating it and making things for it. I found a nice barn wood frame and a large beach themed framed for multiple photos. I will put pictures of all of the family with beach themes. I put one of Nick's photos in the white frame, he just makes me smile, so it is a perfect photo to put in that room.
I had to buy some extra fabric to do the baby quilt, now if I can just get it made. One more week till the shower so if nothing goes wrong, I can have it done, I work well under pressure;)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, filled with family and new memories.
I'm sure the photos of Nick will be most treasured...he makes me smile!

ReplyDeleteI like your new needle punch.
Your fraktur needle punch is very nice. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I love your Fraktur piece! You should do a companion piece with a female figure.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the hands on your piece, maybe a tad darker to define the left hand fingers, else I wouldn't touch it.
ReplyDeleteLove your array of photos and frames, they look great!
