The last day of March!!! As I say every month, time is flying by at warp speed 😏
Miss March Hare is bound and labeled and given to my sister-in-law. The background is much more subtle in person.
Same with Ezra's Farm. I actually changed out a rug that was hanging in the dining room and here it is.
I had another punch needle piece finished years ago, and he's the perfect topper for a cigar box. I left the box labels intact. Wasn't how sure how well they would come off. I tried removing a label from another box and a little sticky residue was left. When I tried to remove the sticky, the paint started coming off.
And the inside!
Just call me bad. I still need to purge and purge and purge, but none has happened in the last couple of weeks. It is on "THE LIST" to get back to it. Well . . . the other day I went to an antique and primitive sale held one weekend a month (March to October?) about an hour from home. I had seen this crock in the pre-sale video and was hoping it would be sold by the time I got to there mid-afternoon. Darn. It was still there. It is a small Donaghho crock, I'm guessing a half gallon. It has a huge chip on the rim but it displays well. I'm sure you've figured out it came home with me. "Antique pox. A disease for which there is no cure . . . except to buy more." 😁
Pug hugs 😊

Wow, look at you go. I've only "thought" about how to decorate my box. I love all your finishes, especially the little bunny rug. Your crock looks lovely, it'll fit right in with all your great antiques. Your house is so cute.
I ooohed and aaahed all the way through your post. And I especially like chipped cracked crocks. I entertain myself wondering what happened in its useful life. Did I tell you that you tempted me to buy a new punch needle set to replace the one I purged a few years ago before we moved??? lol I haven’t had time to play with it yet but hope to soon.
Love your March Bunny and the other pretty hooked project , I can't remember the name of ....your cigar boxes are so neat ! Great idea ! The old crock is beautiful , crack & all !
Wonderful crock. I have a few crocks and I do use them one for potatoes and one for onions, and one for a garbage in the bathroom.
I love the cigar boxes such a great idea.

You go girl! Wow...4 finishes - I'm overly impressed. Ezra's Farm turned out amazing!!! Love your new cRock. You're going to have to start showing us the cracks or we're not going to believe they are really there. ;-) (And, yeah..I have to get back to (i.e., START) purging...especially my kitchen counters LOL.
PS...Love the cigar box...the red of the box really makes the red of the punched piece pop. And that looks like some mighty fine cutting skills on the inside.
You're cranking those projects out gal. Only the horse on my Ezra has been hooked and not motivated to work on it as I'm anxious to finish the deer and hook the eagle. I particularly like the inside of your cigar box. How many more did you buy?
I get that pox every August when I go out on the antique trail. LOL.. 3 finishes is more than I have accomplished lately. You go girl! Janice
Ummm... yeah...three, not four. What the heck?
Another great find! Your purging reward.
Love your cigar boxes and all your finishes! The punching and interior embelishments are perfect.
