Dish Cloth

Well I guess I wasn't done knitting, so I grabbed my "Sugar'n Cream" Denim colored 100% cotton yarn and size 10 bamboo needles. Found the pattern on Lyon Brand Yarns website http://www.lionbrand.com/ Now I have to tell you this is a first for me, I have another pattern but just didn't care for it so I looked at the free patterns on this site and found the one I liked. I might have enough for another so I'm off to get it started now.

The final size of the wrap is 65 x 12 inches (stretched out it's over 18 inches wide)across and knitted on a size 11 Bamboo circular needles This is a close up picture of the wool yarn (from Italy) I added a eyelash ribbon (from France) that's why you see all the little hairs sticking out...... it's from a speciality shop "Birch Tree Gallery" here in Soldotna, Alaska I had fun trying my hand at knitting something different this time, oh by the way if your interested I found the free pattern on Lyon Brand Yarn...... http://www.lionbrand.com/ Thanks for having a look see, I know it's been a while that I posted that's what I get for working long hours these days.

Well I don't know how much art work I'll be getting done since school starts up again tomorrow Jan. 5
I'm gonna be pretty bushed with having 2 weeks off for vacation........Going to work in the dark here in Alaska it doesn't get light til around 9:30-10:00am and sun usually sets around 4:30pm, so it's dark when I get home and don't feel like doing much.
On a lighter note we are gaining by the minute of daylite now.........LOL

Distressed Background

I was cleaning trying to make room for my Cricut today and came across Nancy Curry's Book "Textured Effects" so I got sidetracked and thumbed thru it and one of the backgrounds caught my eye so I had to try my hand at it. Tho I modified my background a bit. 1. Whole sheet of SU Confetti Cream 2. Inks: Mello Moss, More Mustard, Bravo Burgundy, Craft Whisper White and Basic Black (sentiment) 3. Gold Embossing Powder 4. Radiant Rains Gold 5. SU, Clear Stamps 6. With Mello Moss drag across cardstock leaving clear areas 7. Randomly stamp images of leaves..........make sure it's dry or dry with heat emboss gun 8. Over stamp with Craft Whisper White........will be hard to see tho 9. Sprinkle Gold Embossing all over Sheet & heat with Embossing Gun 10. Lightly over spray with Radiant Rains Gold then let Dry 11. Once the desired look is achieved, Use as desired. To the finished project in real life it's much more prettier than the scan of course!
