~*My Busy Work*~

Hello Dear Friends! I thought I would share some of my multi~tasking with you.

This is like a broken~record by now... but I have eight Oxford punched mats bound...

No, I didn't bind all those just today. I've been working on them in the evenings while watching TV. But I still have this many more to bind & should be working on them this afternoon...


Before I can work on those though... I have a distributor order to fill. So patterns have been printing on my trusty lil' printer~ they still need to be stuffed & boxed & dropped off at UPS tomorrow morning...


While they were printing... I was stitching at my desk...


There are sure to be some housework duties needing to be done and the kiddo will get out of school in just a couple of hours... then it will be time to whip up some supper... so I better get back to workin'...

Wishing you all warm smiles...

Betty

  2. I'm so curious to ask--how do you handle the printing for the photos affixed to the covers?
    Do you run them yourself? Order them from a mail service? Also, why did you choose to print them separately rather than directly on the cover?

    They do look great, though! so much eye candy in this post, lol! :D

  3. You have been busy. I never use my oxford with wool, seems to take me longer to set the wool in, but I do like using yarn. I do like the idea if my hands get too sore to hook, punching is easier.

  4. Berit, I do use a picture service for the photos & I do the pictures because it is a much clearer image for stitchers if they choose to use it in addition to the chart to guide them. :) Thanks for askin'

  12. Seriously, you rock! I am so curious about the oxford punch. My friend Judy mentioned a class she wanted to take. I may force her into it and join her. Love all of your projects!

  15. wow - lots of productivity going on. You know I forgot I had an Oxford punch - i made a couple of rugs with it using yarn a couple of years ago but the wool frustrated me. I am going to have to try the wool again. You have given me inspiration.!!
