Puncture marks

 UPDATED TO ADD:  Please go and read THIS and consider taking part!  Hit big business where it hurts.  The power lies in OUR hands!

****************************

Yes, I have puncture marks on my fingers from cross stitching these bookmarks but the pain is worth the gain!  I'm happy with how they turned out and now into the Christmas box they go.


- For those who swear at removing foundation papers for paper piecing, have a look at THIS brilliant tutorial!

- THIS is a nifty little idea for a quick project.

- HERE is another great idea for those of you who enjoy making junk journals.

Today the quote is from Thomas Sowell..."It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance"

  1. Well, pricked fingers result also from picking thistles! The bookmarks are beautiful.

  2. Those bookmarks are lovely! Great gifts. Because people still do read books.

    1. I certainly do read books - haven't gotten onto the digital type although I did try during the beginning of covid. I still like real honest-to-goodness books.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
