December Updates



Vintage Schoolteacher Bell 
Punch Needle Santa



This vintage teacher bell measures 9" x 3-1/4", 
the punch needle measures 5-1/4" x 4".
I found this vintage bell at a local antique shop, it has 
a wood handle and metal bell that actually rings with the 
lead clapper attached in it. 



The santa star is an adaptation from With Thy Needle 
and Thread and is worked with Valdani hand over-dyed 
threads that I aged after stitching.
His face is hand stitched for detail with
pearl cotton. 



There is over-dyed cotton slub yarn wound around the
hat brim with an evergreen sprig.  A rusty bell is secured
to the top of the hat and other star points.
His mustache is worked in a higher stitch to outline it from
the rest of his beard.  
(the greens and berry spray shown in the pic are not included).

Punch Needle Rudolph Reindeer



Rudolph is an adorable reindeer that measures 5-1/4" x 5" 
to the top of his antlers.
He is stitched with Valdani hand over-dyed threads and 
backed with a complimentary cotton.
  


He is batt filled with real twig legs and antlers, a rusty bell 
for his little nose and a seed bead for his eye.
Rudolph has a cotton thread attached for hanging, but his 
legs also allow him to stand proudly on his own.  
He has a red wool scarf around his neck to keep warm.

Santa and Reindeer
Covered Box 



This cross stitch design is an adaptation from With Thy 
Needle and Thread.  It measures 5" x 2-3/4".  
The cross stitch was worked with over-dyed threads
on aged linen.  It is edged with over-dyed pom trim.




The inside is lined with heavy paper.  


The box with removable lid is a heavy paper mache base
that was covered with over-dyed cotton, sanded and
aged again.
