This weekend has been a weekend of opposites. First I lost my needle with the thread in it and then I found it the next day. No, I didn't step on it ( on in it) but I did find that it had dropped into the bathroom sink. The thread matched the inside of the sink and I didn't spot it when I first checked.
Then I took my needle and thread to mom to finish up a sewing project that she wanted me to do. Well THAT didn't happen. Instead she had a new project for me to do. Can you figure out what this one will be?
I'll report on it next week to give you a chance to think about it.
One of the things that DID turn out right was me going to JoAnne's and matching the teal color of the Herd of Turtles. I found it in Gutermann thread and it's called Peacock. This picture makes it look more blue but it is a teal/peacock color.
Speaking of The Herd of Turtles, I finished stitching the top. I still want to darken the top color. On my test material I had dyed a couple of sections with coffee. It pretty much came out though after I washed it. That will be a problem. I might use the stronger coffee that I had and then wash it. If it washes out then it might keep just enough to color it how I want. Any suggestions on how to keep the coffee color in there after I brush it on? Perhaps I have to "over dye" it and wash it. Any suggestions?
Here is how the top looks like. I will need to restitch it in a couple of places but not too bad overall.
It's time for me to stop this and give my fingers a rest. LOL.
Everybody have a great day.
