Consignment Shop

Check out www.secondtimearoundconsignment.blogspot.com
This is what my husband and I have been up for almost a year now, June 3 will be a year that we have been open.  Hope you will follow us there also.
This is why I don't blog or work quilts much for the past year.  Just not enough time.
I do hope to finish the sunflower soon, maybe.

Wool Sunflower

 Here is the sunflower needle keeper that I used the dyed yellow wool on.  I still need to make the leaves for it, I'm not really following the pattern.  This is only the top outside of the needle keeper, still have to make the inside pockets for thread and wool to hold the needles.

I Love Sunflowers, they are not only for wool or quilting.  I plan on planting some under the front window.
And I love buttons also, this is a great project for both of them. 

I will post pictures of the other steps as I finish them.

Small things like this is what I try to work on at the shop, not much time to work on my fun things, I try to work them in.   http://www.second2timearoundconsignment.com/

Think I will make some for the shop also.

Happy sunflowers,
RoseMary

 

Dying Wool

Here is what I am using for the wool.

Here is the wool before dying it.

Here is what the wool looked like after dying, I wan to be able to be outside when I take my pictures, they look more natural.  The one of the left is 2 teaspoons of Sunflower Yellow and 1/4 of Poppy Red, the one on the right is just 2 teaspoons of Sunflower Yellow.  After they dry, I will heat set them.

I will show what I am working on when it's done.

See you later.

A Little Sewing

Here is a little sewing machine I picked up a few weeks ago.  But it does work, I don't know how much sewing I would get done, you hand crank with one hand, while holding the fabric with the other.  Not, really!  Just add one more sewing machine to my collection.  I love looking for these types of items.

Brody's ABC's

I have finished Brody's ABC's for him.  Brody is our first great grandchild, he will be a year old in July.  Every word in the world is on my table.

Here is the box top for Brody's ABC's, I'm still working on the box, one step at a time.  They will be done hopefully before July.  I will put up some more pictures as the box comes together.  So check back soon.  I feel alive when I get to put needle and thread to fabric.  Anyone who sews or quilts know exactly what I am saying.

See you all again soon,  RoseMary

JAM- Announcements & Adventures

Been anywhere we haven't - http://www.dunbarhouse.com/   This is where Rich and I spent our honeymoon almost 16 years ago.  We have been back another time, so please check out the site, wish I could spend every summer there.  We stayed in the Cedar Room.  This is my favorite hide away place.  Hope you will enjoy the website.

My Tea Pot - JAM

This is my China Tea Set, that my husband got for my birthday last year (Feb 4).  It has Roses on it, and it serves 6.  My favorite china tea cup would be anything with a Rose on it.  It is winter here, so there is no drinking outside, but I do hope to have Tea this spring.  I wish the link to JAM was up longer, so I wouldn't miss the topic.
