It had a great start, where I was woken up by the postman delivering the package my mom sent. She'd been to a quilt show, and was awesome enough to send me some stuff. I am in love with the tea towels she sent!!!
I have already finished the first one. I know, it makes you sick, mom :)
I think the cute crochet border is what really makes them pop. It makes me wonder what other things I could add some borders to.
If you want to get some of your own, it's the Victory Garden Project Pack and she got them from Erica's. It looks like you can also purchase just the borders if you want to fancy some things up. I think they'd look great on some kitchen curtains, or maybe a cute summer skirt.
I also dyed some fabric in my machine. It's some of the leftover sheer fabric from the bottom of my ikea curtains. I plan to use it to make a little summer dress from my Twinkle
book. I used Dylon's powder pink machine dye.
Since I'm on my own for the weekend, it means I've been eating lots of junk food, drinking cola, and watching whatever junk TV I feel like. Which meant Pride & Prejudice followed by Braveheart last night. And I had a delicious tea, courtesy of our friend who breezed through as she returned home from Copenhagen. She couldn't remember what these delicious treats were called, but they were on a list of 5 things a local told her she must eat on her trip. Thankfully, she didn't have time to eat them while in Copenhagen, so we got to share in their delight. A little bit like a marshmallow bunny, but 1000 times better and more luxurious.
I've also had plenty of time for the World Cup and Wimbledon. My favorite team for the World Cup has been Uruguay, and I promise it's not just because I've been captivated by the beautiful Diego Forlan. Though he certainly doesn't hurt...
