Lizzie Kate: Halloween Hang-ups (Cat)

Lizzie Kate for Punch Needle
Halloween Hang-Ups 2

From prim punching (yesterday's post) to Halloween decorations.

I really enjoy the bright colors!

The white small buttons come with the pattern.
I used DMC floss on the ears + bow tie. Used Wildflower for the orange + Week's Dye Works for the rest (black cat, green).

The pattern has 3 designs, printed on the cloth.
I'd like to get the pumpkin finished, too. Stay tuned.

punching ...

This is my attempt at
Sheep n Key Doodle freebie from
Primitivebetty's blog

I traced the patter on weaver's cloth
and used Valdani 3-strand floss + Anchor perle #12 (lt blue).

I couldn't quite get the 'key', sewed on a charm.


It was quick and fun. Hope to see some readers at the Lake Co Fair in Crown Point, IN on Friday.

Should be a fun time demonstrating punch needle and cross stitching.

Otherwise, check out the tutorial on this freebie:

Tatting Pouch

DH + I went to the Chesterton Art Fair this afternoon.
Hot + humid, light breeze; however, the artists were amazing!

The pouch pictured, was made by
Chris Acton
Chief Weaver
from Chesterton, IN

The minute I saw her 'sample' made into a pouch,
I knew exactly what the pouch needed ....
tatting supplies!
