I finally get to show this off. I did my very first flatfold and sent it to a good friend in Germany.

Here is my two day progress on my Fall SAL. Worked on this for two day's. The color of the fabric really doesn't show very well. I found a new way to dye fabric and must say I like it allot better then the rite dye. I can pick the color a lot better to get the effect I want. There is a brown splotch in the fabric and i love it but it was totally an accident.

I'm leaving it in. Here is my new discovery on dying fabric. I measured out my fabric cut it and then soaked it in a small bath of hot vinegar and water. Soaked for about 30 minuets Then took fabric paint and diluted it a bunch.It was like the water you wash your paint brush out in.Took fabric from vinegar bath and soaked it in the paint water. Ironed dry
Now if you do this you will wanna clean your iron with vinegar right away. The paint will come right off.

I got my Green color exchnage in the mail the other day. My partner was a really good friend of mine Cherie. When she found out that I was her partner she added some Eeyore stuff for me. Very sweet of her I thought.Thank you Cherie for everything.

My stitching last week

Here are some links I thought I would share with you all.

Ok let me start off with my coaster idea. It was a flop but I have some other ideas for that it will
Just coast a little more. Maybe the other ones will be better after all.

Last weekend this is what I stitched on. A while back I asked all my group members for patterns of stitching items. Two or three people sent me emails with patterns but Cherie P sent me this awesome pattern and the minute I saw it I knew it was just perfect. The other patterns were great but like I said this one was just perfect. It has everything on it I was looking to put on my MA and I even added some embellishments to it. I found these said embellishments at Hobby lobby in the scrap-booking department. How cool is that. I must now send the pattern back home to Cheri & the MA will be sent off soon too. I did however save myself a copy of this pattern for future stitching. It has been such an easy and fast stitch. Hope to finish this up today and then I can stitch the address on the front. My MA is due to send off soon.

A while back every one was doing this PIF thing on blogs and I sighed up with Selina to do one. I had really forgotten about this and a few weeks ago I got this e-mail from Selina about this & after a bit of confusion she said she was sending this PIF gift to me. I had no idea what she was sending and boy was I almost in tears when I opened the envelope. I have never had the nerve to try making one of these little lone think I would ever own one. Now I have two smalls on top my hope chest. Guess it was last week that I received this very pretty pink Biscorn in the mail from Selina.

One last thing I received a PIF from Mary Cheng a member of CSF. It is a Waxing Moon design called Christmas Stack. Now I have the Christmas Stack and the Halloween Short Stack. Now all I need is the time to stitch both. Anybody got some time they can lone me ??? LOL LOL LOL

Clown Teddy

This is what I had been working on for the past two weeks. Now complete Whahoo. I'm now doing a happy dance.The pattern I ordered from Patternsonline.
I was looking for cute and cuddly and this is what I found. I have two coasters due at the beginning of September so this one along with the popcorn bear I did awhile back will now be turned into coasters. I'm gonna attempt to make coasters as I don't want to buy them premade ones unless my idea don't work out. My Idea is to take precut cork broad, plastic, polymer clay and turn it into a coaster.

Thanks for stopping by & if you leave me a comment Thanks so much!!!
