I went to my photoshop class and had a ton of fun. I learned more last night than any of the previous nights. I decided to upload a new template and I was playing with the header - trying different colors and fonts and shadows. I'll have to fix my sidebar items, but I'll have time to do that tonight or tomorrow. My citiwifi service has been touch and go. To upload any files I have to go out on the dock where I get the best service. My neighbors must think I'm nuts! :)
I was looking for some fabric to use for America (a pattern I just got from Amy at Down Sunshine Lane). Amy is going to be my neighbor soon! Well not really since she's about an hour and a half away, but it's better than not knowing anyone! I'm going to her house for a stitch-in later in June. I can't wait for that! I'm even thinking about going to the retreat they have at Myrtle Beach. We'll have to see how our financial situation is after we move though. It's going to be tight! I really want to go because Jane Timmers is going to be teaching this class, which I love!! Anyway, back to the fabric. I decided to dye some natural belfast using some tan rit dye. I really like how it turned out and I think it will be perfect for America.
This picture is a little light. But you get the idea...
I also kitted a couple Barbara Ana designs. I have yet to make a biscornu, but I'm determined to do so in the near future!
Spring Biscornu
I used the bunny thread drops for this one since there are bunnies in the pattern. :)
Well, that's all for now. I'm still working on "Moire." I hope to have it finished soon! Write later!

ReplyDeleteAfter seeing all your fabric dyeing I am wanting to try it out myself. The bad thing is that I haven't been able to find any suitable dyes here. I am going to keep looking though!
