Michelle Palmer: September 2016

Tuesday, September 13

These little buttons are perfect for the bittersweet themed pinkeep!

Pins with golden yellow & red heads...

Vegetable ivory buttons look like acorns...

This vintage gear button was perfect for my acorn wheel!

So much in life starts small...

Builds...

Grows...

Hard work and determination~

I had a teacher who taught me to have strong foundations.

Build several sturdy legs to your table.

If one leg weakens~ the others will hold it up.

Then don't neglect the weak spot. Immediately work to restore strength.

I hope your week is off to a great start, Friends!

Stay strong & I hope you find a creative project, too~

Sailing into another weekend!

September has arrived and the first week has disappeared already~

I started this punch needle piece on Labor Day.

It was nice to put work aside and enjoy time with Dear Hearts!

How I love red, white & blue...

Beginning stitches...

Detail work first~

Sometimes colors need to be pulled & changed as the design progresses...

Hope your September is off to a great start, Friends!

Wishing you a relaxing weekend~

No matter the shape of my fall pumpkin...

Tall and narrow,

Short and flat...

Smooth or bumpy...

No matter how much planning I did to carve a really neat face~

The eyes always ended up as triangles.

The nose was always long and narrow.

It always had a smile~

The orchards are full~

We have been very short on rain this summer. Drought conditions.

The limbs are heavy but holding onto all of that precious fruit!

Little road-trips in the country... smells so good!

Hope your September is filled with harvest goodies & creative projects!

Thank you for stopping by, Friends~
