Me & Mimi's Crafting Nook

As I mentioned before Mimi has crafted my entire life, and this time I want to share with you Russian Punch or Needle Punch.

I have several things Mimi has made for me through the years. Here are just a few of them.

So I asked her to show me.

We found a picture that we wanted to make or in this case we drew a  heart

then the fun began  finding the colors you want to use and then starting on the shape

I outlined mine in black then filled it with red.

The finished heart.

I started a new project which is a magnolia flower.  This is still a work in progress I hope to finish it soon, then I will post the finished product.

After making Addie’s Isabelle, we decided to make some different dolls.  These would make perfect Christmas gifts.

Here are some of what we have so far. Get your order in early.

Baby girl was at Mimi’s after a rain one day, playing in the mud. She told Mimi she found a fairy and put it in a bug cage. Baby girl had to take her fairy everywhere with her and named her Isabelle.  This was right before her birthday so Mimi decided to make her a doll fairy and name it Isabelle.  Mimi asked baby girl what color hair Isabelle had 1st it was yellow she then changed it to “rainbow hair”.  About a day before her birthday, baby girl told Mimi she had to have shoes and big girl underwear. Ha Ha Ha ( She doesn’t like shoes and we are in the process of potty training where we tell her she is a big girl.)  Needless to say Isabelle had shoes for Addie’s party. Ha Ha Ha

And this is Isabelle.
