    Bottle cap magnets

    After working out and running errands this morning, I spent a good chunk of this afternoon putting together all these bottle cap magnets.  I think I’m a little loopy from the glue…need more ventilation in the basement!
    You may remember a long time ago I had them strewn across my work surface.
    I bagged them up and stuck them away…promptly forgetting they existed.
    Well, no more.
    They are heading to Texas along with all the other items I’ve been busy creating plus some oldies but goodies.
    I still have a list of things I want to make but am running out of time.
    I hope I remember to take a picture of everything before sending it off.

    Tea dye

    The other day I came across this cool tea tin. Now I’m not a big fan of Jasmine or any floral tea for that matter but I did like the tin. Who knew it would be full of tea. Not wanting to actually drink it I decided to do a little experiment. I had some scraps of muslin so I heated some water and threw the muslin and tea in with it and let it sit all day while I was out and about.

    It didn’t get as dark as I believe black tea would have but the fabric strips are a nice aged color.

    So what did I do with them you ask…  
    a little layered fabric hair accessory for my girl.
