What is it? #170 – the answer

What’s this weeks answer? An antique taper candle mold (the earlier puzzle photo was tipped onto it’s side for our sneaky deception…muah-ha-ha-haaaa).

Cheers to many of you guessed correctly this week, and a hug to those who didn’t have a clue, but played along anyway. You continue to make us smile. Happy weekend, everyone!

Welcome back for the Friday reveal! This week our featured vintage puzzle item is a soap saver! Congrats to all of our smarties this week, and thank you to the brave should who just love to take a stab in the dark when they have no clue. We could all use a dose of your what-the-heck gutsiness. 🙂

“What is it?” Wednesday #168

We’re not sure where the month of July is going so quickly. Many of you are subscribers to Create & Decorate magazine, so you understand that our summer days are filled with holiday and Christmas craft instructions and photography sessions. Knowing that, please accept our apologies for our lack of blog time. However, we know that if our blog followers miss out on a “what is it?” Wednesday post we get hate mail.

Haha.

Ok, hate is an awfully strong word. So, we guess we will refer to these complaint emails as ‘grumble mail’. 🙂

To answer recent blog requests for berry embroidery, we’re sharing one of our punch needle favorites (designed by C&D Editor, Beverly Hotz). We love the literal use of the seed beads! 🙂
