Saturday's chores

Today was spent organising baggies ingredients for the Ocean Swap being hosted by Mary C-B...........
As I have some whole cloth lace motif fabric ,that to me resembles seaweed/kelp,I cut out the relevent shapes and dyed ,and over dyed the motifs with Persian gold , cream,and
some olive green.
(I can only hope that the recipients of them can imagine them in a similar light.)
I also dyed some silk threads and silk ribbons to add to the packages for sea-anenome,and other weeds!
I'm also in the throes of organising a RR,which I think,will consist mainly of newbies to CQ.
Here's hoping it will be (relatively) smooth sailing.


The "other" witch I mentioned yesterday..........not being crash-hot with editing skills,it's not as clear a pic as I'd like.It's about 3 inches from tip to tail Posted by Hello

Witches

This cute little pewter witch arrived in yesterday's mail from Maureen B;it is a reminder of the hilarious time that three Maureen's had in Canberra last October.
I really should take a photo of the larger witch we wore to the fancy dress night,and include her too!

My second to last block for my "Rainbow Garden".Commenced embellishing October 2004 during a work-shop with SharronB at the National CQ Retreat.Unfortunately,despite Sharon's inspiration it took a long time for this block to blossom;I'm temporarily putting it aside until inspiration flows again---maybe I'll continue the curving spray down through the lavendar block;who knows? Posted by Hello
