Proddy Tip ~ ~ ~ Pay It Forward

First I would like to thank everyone for the kind comments on my proddy tutorial.  I just wanted you to know how easy it is to do.

Also, a big THANK YOU for all your comments on Peanut's adoption.  I haven't heard any more from her new family, so I am going on the assumption that no news is good news.

Kathleen in New Jersey left me these proddy tips and I thought I would pass them along.

"You can cut your proddy pieces into shapes . . . rounded leaves, holly leaves, flowers . . . makes a great wreath. I've made a Christmas wreath and a year-round wreath using the proddy technique. I also proddied with ribbons to give the wreaths more dimension. Proddy does use ALOT of wool and it's a bit of a work-out. But so worth it. Think about proddy pins, ladies!"

I have been working on my Pay It Forward gifts and hope to finish them this weekend . . . but . . . the best laid plans of mice and men.  You know how that goes :)

In today's mail I did receive my PIF gift from the oh-so-talented Lori over at Home Spun Prims.  I received the sweetest little sewing pocket and dolly.  Here it is hanging on my jelly cupboard. 

The pocket is made from the most wonderful, old-looking brown fabric.

The little dolly is only 4" tall.

Lori, I really do love it and so appreciate having something made from your hands.

It is a rainy, whopping 43 degree day here on Ohio's north coast.  I wish spring would hurry up and get here.  I may never get my yard work done.

Pug hugs :)
