Posts are backing up in my mind because I've been making stuff and enjoying the last balmy, breezy days of summer, rather than spending time at the keyboard. Friday I spent the day discharge dyeing 8 yards of fabric. It all came out well.
Today I put together a piece that combines many of my favorite things: embossed copper, raw edge applique, quilting, and the discharged fabrics. I love the way it turned out, but I'm trying to resist looking at it more because I want to let it "rest" overnight and see what I think tomorrow. I expect to make a series along these same lines. I already have the next four pieces in mind.
The farmers' markets are still going strong. We went yesterday morning and I got lots of veggies and three kinds of berries. Gotta enjoy them while they last. All the way there, the only thing I could think about was the new addiction my husband gave me: kettle corn. I used to think this was a poor cousin of Cracker Jack but it's really grown on me. Being German, Christian doesn't believe in salted popcorn. Only salted licorice.
Inventory is piling up for my Etsy store. It's there and the banner is up, but I haven't uploaded any items yet. That's going to take a flurry of photographing. I also need some shipping supplies. But soon. Very soon!
