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
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.

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.
-
great shower for a great friend!

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
on top of the tree
