Did I show y'all my yarn haul?🧶🧶🧶 Welcome y'all and Happy Hump Day!
Well a few weeks ago I was minding my own business taking a leisurely stroll in the Goodwill when all of a sudden a cart sporting a bunch of yarn rolled my way. 😁🧶🧶🧶I tried my darndest to look away, but I was slowly drawn into the colors.
Oooh they are so so pretty I thought. "Walk away! " I told myself , but the allure of those fibers just pulled me right in. Well what will it hurt to take a look I reasoned So over to the cart I went. My eyes twitched when I saw the price?
Eeeh! I think I need some yarn! ( No not really, but I chatted with myself . "Self, I think I should buy some of the yarn , besides I can try to teach the grandsons and nephews how to crochet with what limited knowledge I have."- Well, that is what I told myself, but I knew good and well they were for me too.😀) So in two blinks of a lamb's tail, I threw some skeins in my cart and made out like a bandit. Hee! Hee!😁😀
Then a couple of days later we were in another thrift store when Ole' Mr. Pinker came to my cart with a smile on his face toting a bag of more yarn. "Would you like this? " he asked.

Oh bother, do I dare? Again I caved into the desire and bought the bag.

Soooo. that brings me to my next project. It has been awhile since I have done any rug punch. I pulled out my Monk's cloth and chose some of those pretty yarns and drew out a picture.

And soon a new project was in the works.

| Working on the backside. |
It is quite primitive which suits my fancy fine!

| This is the front side. |
Now are the loops even ? No.🤷 Is it neat as a pin ? Nope again!
But I am happy as a pig in mud with my finish.

Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy. Love and miss you, Amo.
The other day, dear Nancy on IG, showed her beautifully stitched ornaments that she had just finished. I was smitten.❤ I finished stitching the first of two in Herrschners Winter's Night Music Boxes which are freebies and available on their website. I will begin the 2nd one today. I used DMC 221 on this stitch.
