    T Tuesday:better late than never edition

    20131209_3769

     

    Hello friends…I didn’t abandon linking up with Elizabeth and her T stands for Tuesday party. I just had to have a bit of a break. I  intended on being here early today but life got in the way.

     

    Here we have my token cup of tea. Twinings Earl Grey, in case you were wondering.

     

    You likely didn’t care but I bet you have been wondering what happened with my tea dying experiment.

    20131210_3775 20131210_3778Well…I got a nice batch of yummy scraps.

    Love the darkened edge on the cotton lace…

     

     

     

    How the colors muted on the embroidery.

     

     

     

     

     

    And the dark tips on the fancy trim.

    Can’t wait to start using them in some…anything!

    I have my craft area somewhat  cleaned up but I hesitate to start using it until I’ve done some organizing. I may not be able to stop myself soon.

    mn winterI ran across this photo on Pinterest. Made me laugh..but it’s true.

    I love it when the plows do that…looks so cool and is very effective.

    What are you doing today??

    T Tuesday: Something’s brewing edition

    T stands for Tuesday rolls around more quickly each week it seems. Think it’s possible that our hostess Elizabeth is speeding up time? Yeah…probably not happening.

    This week my Tea is not for drinking… I’m just dye-ing to show you what I’m doing. *teeheehee*

    Tea dye

    My supplies are simple…old package of 6 tea bags that I’d never drink. Scraps of linens, lace and ribbon. Glass bowl. Boiling water. And time.

    toil and trouble

    Bubble, bubble toil and trouble. And now we wait…

    I’m heading for a brisk morning walk with a friend.

    What are you doing today?
