Roses, Doilies, and Ribbon Oh My!

Hello! I hope your week is running along just the way you planned it! But if not, that is ok too because sometimes when we take a detour we run smack into a treasure. :o) I am having a good week thus far but quite busy I must say but wonderful none the less.:o)

A few post ago I spoke of tea dying doilies and promise photos, well here they are! Well not all the doilies but a little sampling of just how they turned out. The above doily I turned into a little pincushion. It was quick and very easy. I filled a little muslin bag with rice placed it in the doily and added a little rose and ribbon, it makes a beautiful pincushion don't you think. You can also fill the the little muslin bag with lavender buds for a lovely sachet. I have plans of doing a simple tutorial on tea dying and how to make this little sachet as well as other little surprises. Here are few more photos.




My lighting was not the best and showed shadings, but actually the doilies are do not have dark and light areas but are one beautiful shade. I will be making more sachets and pincushions with more elaborate ribbon work.:o) Thanks to the many of you who inspire me to try different things, tea dying is loads of fun!:o) Enjoy a beautiful rest of the week!
