Igolochkoy

I don’t know how or if I can actually justify my fascination with punch-needle work. Like everything sincerely fun and cool igolochkoy was horribly abused by those people who do rustic and primitive craft thingies straight from kits purchased “as seen on TV.”

Inevitably there’s a rule of craft tools. When one, such as myself, decides she no longer has an interest in continuing with a craft and sells off all her supplies for said craft it’s just a matter of time before a major brainstorm and those supplies would have (if they were in the person’s possession) been put to good use once more.

This makes me reconsider everything. After all, that knitting machine that I’ve been not using may be the next thing. Right now it’s a cobweb decorated white buffalo, but sometime in the future it might actually become some sort of necessity. Then again, if I keep it around I may never have that stroke of genius that actually justifies it’s presence.

Dammit. There really should be a kind of reverse rental service, people could come and take my junk away until I decide I need it, then they could give it back to me. Wouldn’t that simplify things?

I digress.

This is a 3.5×3.5 inch square, I’ve run completely out of the light blue that I was using for the background. All those little loops eat a lot of embroidery floss. I’ll have to get more first thing in the morning as I’m eager to get this off of the hoop and start something new.

  1. I know what you mean about the craft supplies you let go of then suddenly and desperately need. I really like the idea of a reverse rental service.

    I love the flower!

  2. I wish there was a place that would do the reverse rentals. The igolochkoy is very nice.
