Our petite little friend always arrives when the forget me nots are blooming!

She will perch in the pines, dance across the fence top...

March across the window ledges!

Can you hear her sweet song?

This punch needle pattern is very painterly~

I used Instant Antique (Primitive Gatherings) to stain the background colors.

Some friends spritz their completed works to age & make them prim.

I like to spritz the floss prior to punching my designs.

Be sure to lay paper down to protect your surface from staining.

Take them out of the wrapper & spread out gently so they don't tangle.

Allow to dry completely before punching.

Hope your day is going great, Friends!

Thank you for stopping by~

Alaina and I drove from New York to Arizona two summers back~

This design has been in the works since our journey.

Each state along the way had its own beauty and

unique characteristics~

The soil colors changed...

The landscape became open & endless.

The cultures rich and the people along the way~ AMAZING!

Alaina helping me select the perfect background colors~

My Grandma Newtown was Native American~ a treasured heritage.

I didn't have the privilege of knowing her. She passed long before my birth.

My dad was an amazing man

who spoke of her often and loved her dearly.

Alaina's love of heritage and history~ of nature and this beautiful land

would make her extremely proud.

Hope your day is filled with beauty~
