Friday Finish!

 

This week Kelley Belfast offered a free pattern to show support for Ukraine. She is a cat lover and a lot of her patterns have cats and this one is a wonderful primitive piece with the kitties and the sunflowers for Ukraine. I pushed it a bit with my. bad arm, but once I get going, I cannot stop till I finish, with punch needle. It is a fun piece to punch and a great way to remember those in Ukraine as we send our prayers to them.



I was also able to see my first Snowy Owl. She is living at the old base and I found her resting in the airport. It won't be long before she heads back to the Arctic.



Another day we spent some time at the beach and I found a few new treasures. Finding a marble is always a bonus.



And at home, the birds are becoming more active. This cardinal lives in my yard, he is very territorial so no other cardinals are allowed in my yard, just his wife and their kids, which was a thrill to see this year.

I hope you all had a wonderful week.

That is a great sunflower piece. And how wonderful of you to see a snowy owl. I have been enjoying listening to the lovely sounds of the birds on my daily walks.

Ok...so, this is one of my favorite posts of yours ever LOL. I LOVE that kitty punch needle you did to pieces!!!!! Of course, no one does kitties like Kelley does! Sooo....where did she offer this pattern at? I no longer am active on FB so perhaps there? I will need to check as I haven't had a post from her blog pop up in ages. And that owl!!! Gah! Just beautiful... And your photo of the cardinal is beyond incredible. Wow...just WOW! Hope your weekend is off to a great start....We had an ice store overnight so walks and roads are treacherous. ~Robin~

Such a sweet little finish. Kelley and her kitties...sweetness!
The pictures of your snowy owl are absolutely incredible. Not bad on the cardinal either.

My daughter and I tried to do punch needle in the late 70's!!!!! And we tried again this past November. Still couldn't get the hang of it. Do you give lessons? She would love this cat and sunflower piece, and I would love to make one for myself, too.
