I needed a punch

to kickstart some creativity. I was tired of my knit sweater (still needs sleeves), beading had me in knots, crochet just wasnt doing it..... what was left but a simple sign. I had put this project on the backburner for quite awhile, while everything else ws going on. Then it all stopped. I didn't want to do anything. I even tried to sketch...nothing. Started by winding a few bobbons, then a spark. Plus, I got one of those wonderful daylight lamps (40% coupons rock!). It makes the project go by faster.

thoughts

I was finally able to take some pictures. The first one is of the blanket that I am working on for my aunt. I am about 1/3 of the way done.





I was going to hold off on my punchneedle project, but I needed a break from knitting.






And lastly, I was putting off blogging about it, but I had to. It was my first rejection letter. I submitted a beaded bag for Interweaves' Beadwork contest. I knew it was going to be a long shot, but there was a bit hope there.
