dying fabric

well....

the combo of hans, schnooze, and cam =

muy mal for my awesome

PB comforter

the one we got for our wedding

*from laura haws's momma and daddy

is discontinued

but this is kinda close

it was cream colored and so lovely.

but now there are stains all over

and rips

and it's shredding on the edges.

-

so cam and i decided with christmas money

we will pick a new one out.

but to make it last a little longer... i decided to dye it!!!
-

-

dying with RIT dye goes by poundage of fabric.

i had about 9lbs

but i knew i wanted grey.

but the grey they had was too light.

so i went with 1 bottle of black (for 2lbs)

and 1 box of pearl grey (for 1lb)

-

i followed the directions

for the washer

-

and it came out perfect.

the fabric is velvet on one side

and silky on the other...

the velvety side looks slightly purple, but i like it :)

the little white places are where there are holes :)

lovely.

bah

hans totally clocked me when he decided he was a lap dog

i had to clean it up

and then put steri-strips on it

dang.

shellie's shower

my beautiful friend shellie had her baby shower saturday

she's having a girl, Tori

look how adorable she is!

of course the shower was amazing
even down to the ribbon and felt napkin rings

ummm, yes that would be a little deer on a cupcake

i just loveddddd these little guys!

loved the center pieces

all the tall things are stuck in sugar in glass containers

by far my favorite thing:

homemade mini poptarts on a stick.

yes, that's right, poptarts ON A FREAKING STICK!

they were sooooo good!

love.

bump.

okay, this is ridiculous... i have a food baby in this picture...

no i am not pregnant.

christmas time in the city

i finally got pics up of our decorations...

-

-

i wanted a way to display the cards we get

but not just on the table

but we don't have a mantle

-

so i got an idea from ballard design

and then copied it, but added cards

sticks from backyard

stuffed into a thrift store vasey thing

vintage snowman in background

got him for $4.99 at thrift

and he just needed a new bulb!

i could have chosen better things to attach with

but i had these paper clip doo-dads on hand

our tree

with the mustard yellow theme

paper circles cut out

then sewn together

to make a garland!

i used scrapbook paper and old book pages

our yearly ornament

from swaziland

the lid comes off

and the man that sold it to us said

"you can hide your jewels in there"

hmmmm...what jewels does he think i have?

angel made by liz in like 1985
