Cari had given Joan and I this beautiful punch project for Christmas in 2008 called "Winterberries" and Joan was punching it in Florida. It was working up so cute, so I came home and punched mine up in just a few short days. It was so much fun to get away from cross-stitching and just mindlessly punch my brains out!
The itch to stitch came back pretty quickly. Here's my progress on Paradise Lost.
I guess that's all for today. I do have some fun Easter pics of my little grandbabies that I'll post next time. Have a great week and if you're a stitcher or crafter or scrapbooker, I hope you find the time you want to enjoy what you do!

Love, love, love those birds on the oil cans. What fun. And your Paradise Lost is gorgeous. I am pulling mine back out today.
Oh wow! Those punch needle pieces are amazing! What fun with the oil cans! And your PL is looking so beautiful! Looking forward to the pics of the grandkids!
What a wonderful post!!!! Now I know who was buying up all those oil cans on Ebay! LOL
I just love your bird and the Winterberries. I'm definitely going to have to try this out after seeing your two great pieces!! I think the attraction is that you wrote "so I came home and punched mine up in a few short days......and just mindlessly punch my brains out!!" That sounds like so much fun!!
Paradise Lost is looking great too - it's going to be a wonderful finish!
Oil cans are fun to find and they're so graphic that they're fun all by themselves.... but then... put that cute little bird ont top and well... how cute is THAT! Great job on both of them! Also love the samplery (is that a word?) looking one as well.
Your PL is so pretty - I do love that chart and will get to it one of these days!
I love your PN projects! Just gorgeous! I so need to find an antique oil can!
Paradise is looking amazing. I would really like to start that project soon. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love your progress on Paradise Lost . I am really loving this one and may have to buy it! The oil can birds are fabulous. You are so lucky to have sisters who do fancywork and you can get together and have a good laugh!
Excellent work baby sister!! The birds are so dang cute on the oil cans. Mine's all punched just waiting to be stuffed. And your Paradise Lost is just beautiful. I love watching it come to life. It was so much fun to see it in person. Can't wait to see pics of your darling grand-darlings.... BIG HUGS!! xoxo
What beautiful birds!! I love 'em. I love your other punch needle finish, too. I have all the stuff to do PN, just haven't actually tried it yet. My daughter did some w/o fully reading the directions. I won't tell you what kind of hair it looked like. That's all I will say. Ahem.
Love your PL progress!!
Oh my, that punch needle--winterberries--is stunning!! And your Paradise Lost, too!! Beautiful work. Love the birds!!!
I've been meaning to send you a thank you note and I am a slacker! Thank you soooo much for that sampler! I about died of joy when I saw it. Thank you Thank you!
Really cute Cathy. My LNS has a whole bunch of the little oil cans for sale but so far I have resisted. :) I bought a punchneedle pattern and frame but still need to buy the needle thingey and try it. It looks lke fun. I hope I can do it alright.
beautiful work, as usual. You are amazing! I have lost your email account! Email me?
