Today I got all of the
lace out of my flea market
shopping cart and got
busy tea dying it ~
The hot sun today was
perfect for drying the
lace fast :)
I needed a good drying
rack though and
remembered this ladder
in my yard ~
It worked perfect!!
The rungs gave alot
of area to drape the
lace over ~
After it was dry
and ironed I got busy
creating the bottles in
the picture above for
a shop in San Diego ~
My very favorite
part of what I do is
the creating part ❤
Do you ever have those days where your brain is going a gazillion miles
an hour with so many things you want to do and create that you
can't focus on one ..... well that is me pretty much
all of the time :)
So this morning I got up and started dyeing my new stash of
vintage laces and linens ~ Put out my sewing machine and spread
it all out pretty much all over the place ~
After I made one pillow I remembered the
sweet little baby shoes that I got so I had to embellish them with some vintage yumminess ~
Then I remembered the cute basket I got yesterday
and decided to dye and stamp some tags and ribbon to pretty it up ~
While I was taking pictures of all of this ( in the crummy rainy light ) I remembered the
Dream sign that I just got and wanted to add it to the cute
little vignette that I was photographing ~
Ohhh and then as I was digging through my Canton treasures
that held the linens and baby shoes, I remembered this
awesome bracelet !
All of this started by putting a whole day aside to work on pillows ~
So what am I doing now ...... blogging about it because I got side tracked again :)
BTW ~ these will all be on my website today .... that is my goal ~
Afternoon update .....
I got two more pillows done and listed and then got on an altered bottle side track ~ Gotta love rolled roses :)
I have been on the hunt for some wide and super soft satin ribbon ~ it is hard to find in a very soft finish ~ A friend of mine said that she bought blanket binding and that it was perfect so I set of to get some ~ I LOVE the feel and look of it, it is exactly what I was looking for ~
I bought pink to start out with and wanted to try tea dying it to make it look more vintage ~ it came out great except that I should have ironed it open before I tea dyed and dried it ~ sooo next time I will do that ~
I took a white lampshade and died it too and then set them both in the sun ~ it was a fun project and I will be getting more blanket binding soon !!
