Itching to punch again

I made this star punch needle pattern a while ago.

My intention was to attach it to a little

pinkeep in a rusty canning jar lid.

I had to keep it safely hidden from my cat,

or he would have stolen it for a new toy.

So...out of sight, out of mind.

But I happened to find these 2 cute little

jewelry boxes sort of, and immediately

saw the potential to use with my star design.

First I stitched the prim crocheted doily to the box lid.

I securely attached the design by stitching

around with wool yarn and linen thread

I added a piece of black felt to the bottom.

The pinkeep now has storage for pins, buttons or what ever!~

Can even be given as a gift box with jewelry or token inside.

I finished a second one as well, but haven't taken

photos of it yet.

This long stretch of dismal weather we are having

is kicking my creative juices into overdrive.

I love when that happens.

I'm trying to enjoy it while I can,

as once the sun shines again,

I'll be playing in the dirt!
