Linking Up

There hasn't been any creative stitching going on these days even though I took some work with me! However, I've had a little one search through my sewing kit looking at all the stuff. She had fun with the telescopic magnet wand that came from Princess Auto.

I did stitch up a seam in Gale's pink sleeping bag and it HAD to be pink thread. SO, out came the pink floss - she was a very happy camper. Doesn't take much to please a 6 year old.

Step One!!

Today I got started on dyeing cheese cloth for my next project. Because of interruptions, the only colour I managed to do, was gray. Tomorrow, I will mix up rust, a variety of browns as well as green. Years ago, I discovered that cheese cloth made fantastic texture for rocks and cliffs. I will also dye some floss. The leftover dyes from today's work are saved in case I need more gray dyed fabric.

Here's today's accomplishment:
