Lone Pine Designs: Ping Pong

Lone Pine Designs

"Lone Pine Designs" originated when I first moved to America in 2005 from Australia. My mother in Australia called our new home in NH "Lone Pine" as she wanted my new home, which is surrounded by pine trees, to have an Australian name. The Battle of Lone Pine is a very famous successful Australian battle which took place during the Gallipoli war in Turkey in 1915. It was called The Battle of Lone Pine for the solitary pine tree standing in the middle of the battlefield which surprisingly remained standing at the end of the battle. After the tough few months leading up to our arrival here in America and surviving the first year in a new country I felt like that pine tree still standing in the battlefield. It was in 2006 when I started to sell my work on Ebay that I decided that Lone Pine Designs would be the perfect name for this new endeavour in my life.

Ping Pong

Last Saturday was my 17th Wedding Anniversary and I wanted to make a fun card to go with the fun gifts for my husband. We love playing ping pong together and play most nights after dinner so I bought him a funny ping pong t-shirt and matching mug and some new balls. I don't own any ping pong stamps so I paper pieced a paddle and ball and printed the sentiment from my computer...
