Yep, I've been gone for too long but hopefully its not too late to come back now.
Seems like the last couple of months have been a blur.
I can't believe it is now the last day of January!
There hasn't been a lot of activity in the studio.
I've had a very hard time getting back to work after the holidays.
This is what my work table looks like right now.
Sad to say that the beginnings of a bird has been there for over a week.
The only things I have to show for the last month is a couple of new moths
and a few new ornaments.
The Snowmen and Twinkles (the star with a nose) are the two new ones
I designed and made for the kids at Christmas.
I was pleased enough with them to make extra to sell.
The penny ornaments are always a favorite to stitch.
I had almost ran out of ornaments by the end of last year so
I need to make a few each week to catch up.
We survived the big snow storm last weekend but there is still lots of snow around.
It's going to take a while to melt 14" of snow.
It took us several days before we were able to get our car out
and then back up our driveway!
I was sick with a cold the entire time so it was not much fun.
Hopefully I will be back soon with some new work!
Just an FYI - Shuttle Hook and Needle is now on Instagram.
If you are a Instagram user then look me up!

Good to see you back up Louise! Missed you. Those moths sure are purdy. I think it was a moth that brought me to your wonderful site in the first place.
ReplyDeleteFeel better, it's hard to be creative and productive when you don't feel well, unless of course you are a country & western song writer.... ;-)
Hi Louise, I've had my share of being under the weather this winter and not very productive either. It took me for ever hooking a rug.
ReplyDeleteYour little moths are just too cute. So much work but it must be satisfying to succeed with so beautifully.
Before you know it February will be a memory and March will come in and soon Spring will be at our door.
I'm glad that you survived the big storm. The winter has been rather mild here for us this year but last year was brutal.
I hope that you find your Mojo soon. Going through a dry spell of creativity is normal. It's only temporary.
Take care and stay safe and healthy.
Hugs,
JB
Well, welcome back! You haven't been gone nearly as long as I have been LOL. Glad you're recovering from the snow...we have had some mild days in an overall mild winter, but they are saying that is about to change... Up to 21" of snow on its way, followed by a dip in the deep freeze. Grrrr.... Me no likey. I LOVE your little moths...and those penny ornaments are gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Have a great new week ahead....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

Your moths are incredible! Such detail. I, too, have not worked very much on any sewing projects, but plan to start soon. Hope you feel better.
