Today was a busy day and I almost forgot to post. Bill had his second surgery to fix the eye, they did cataract surgery on and all went well and he is seeing much better now.
I was able to make another whale but my arm gave out from two days of punching, so I just kept it simple and slightly different, than the first. I also made a pattern, if you would like to make your own. You can use any old piece of wood or check your local craft store, they carry a lot of weathered board pieces now.
I just laid this whale on one of my boards, I need to find some more flat drift wood, or I may use a piece from an old bureau I saved.
If you would like to buy this pattern, you can find it at my Ecrater Store. It would also be fun to do as a rug or applique piece and with a change of colors, perfect for a child's room. The pattern includes both whales, since they are a little different.
It looks like a stormy weekend, so hopefully we can get out for a walk before it hits or in between storms. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Oh my gosh, I love this Jonah and the Whale. I love the other one, too. How big are they? They make me wish I made hooked rugs!

Good luck with your new whale designs. I was fortunate that nothing went wrong with my cataract surgery a few years ago. However, there was a guy who had surgery the same day (different doctor) who had to have his done over again. Hope all goes well this time for him.
ReplyDeleteI love both your whales! I would love to punch the one shown here. Is this pattern available? I one see the other whale on your site. I'm glad your husband's surgery went well. My husband had his done some time ago and it really made a difference to his life. Have a happy 4th.
ReplyDeleteHope the second surgery was a roaring success.
ReplyDeleteFun pattern!
I'm so pleased to hear that this eye surgery went so well! It will be nice when all the drops are done and he can just see everything. I will have to go back and look at the other whale, but this one is fabulous. I've never tried the punch work before, but this is really pretty!
ReplyDeletehope the surgery recovery all goes well... and a lovely whale made...
