    More colors coming


    So I got back all my pages from the Rainbow of Colors swap I was in and I don’t have O-wires big enough for this chunky book. I decided it might be fun to make some more of each color then bind them into separate color books. Then I can display them in a circle possibly?!?

    Here are a few red ones I put together today.

    Special thanks to Elizabeth for the fountain pen nib.

    Bleach anyone?


    After pulling my tired old black T-shirt out of the wash last night I noticed the color wasn’t true black anymore. What’s a girl to do? WELL DUH….alter it!

    I’d watched a segment on Creative Juice that used gel dishwasher detergent with bleach to stamp on t-shirts. I don’t use that stuff but had a bleach pen. I just squirted some out on a yogurt lid and used foam stamps for my images. After the bleach completely dried, I washed and dried it as usual.

    My little girl was amazed by the nearly instant bleaching. “Mommy, can you do that to one of my shirts?” Absolutely!

    Red pepper


    My 1st red pepper is nearly ready to pick! I’m shocked that it is getting as red as the ones I see in the grocery stores. For some odd reason I thought it would only get that sort of ruddy red color.
