And... HELLO to my new followers :) I am happy you have joined in on the merriment and feel free to leave a comment when you like :)
Monday I did not put a post up as I was feeling really really worn out. I had an appointment with a neurologist and had to do some tests... visual tests and memory tests and well I think it was too much. When I got home I just could not stay awake!
I have to go back next Monday for more tests and then hopefully they may have a reason to what is going on with me? I hope so...
Tuesday I have been stitching all day... I cannot show you what as its a gift! Oooh my and I just realized I forgot to take a photo! Hmmm maybe when the person gets it they will post a photo?
Ooh yes but I do have something to show you all!! I have been experimenting with dyeing again, as its so much fun! I found an amazing herbal tea, I love to drink it. I love the colour it turns the water in my cup so I thought OK try dying with it!
Ha ha so that is what I did!
Yes Twinings Strawberry and Mango tea makes this wonderful colour! I love it!
Oh yes something arrived in the post too! The packet from Shirley, my Round Robin partner :) I could not wait to see what she stitched for me.
WOW!!!!
Its all so pretty, ...
Look!... sheep!!!
Close up...
And WOW!!
Look at this wonderful fabric... its sheep!!!
I can hardly believe it, I love it!!
And silk threads, a new thing for me to try :)
Thank You, Thank You Shirley, I love it all!!! :) Taking part in the Round Robin has been a lot of fun... only a few more people left, I will be sad when it ends.
I cannot really show you anything I am stitching or working on at the moment as they are gifts and must be kept secret until they have been received... you will see them soon :)
I hope your all ok and happy stitching and smiling?

Love the colour of the tea dyeing!! Especially the piece on the bottom left hand side, it has some kind of marbling effect on it :) Wonder what you will stitch on these??
ReplyDeleteGreat RR, the cute little sheep look fab and the fabric most unusual... perfect for a sheep lover :)

The best thing about using fruit tea for dyeing is the smell when you stitch on it! It's gorgeous. I will definitely be trying some of that tea myself.
ReplyDeleteLovely RR square too and a great gift with it.
That tea certainly makes a really pretty pink colour. Love it!
