You know, Tuesday kind of has a bad wrap. It is not the beginning of the week, not the end, not even the middle! It is kind of a bland day if we let it be. But, I want it to be fun so I am bringing back the Tuesdays Ten Tiny Things Challenge~! Yay! FUN! Several of you participated in this challenge last year and you produced the neatest photographs of your Ten Tiny Things collections. See them here on my Flickr. Let's do it again! Here is the challenge. You have until Sunday of this week (JUNE 28) to send me a link to your blog post about Ten Tiny Things . All of the pics will be posted and one of them will be randomly selected for this challenge. Whoever wins will receive a prize from me. I don't know what it will be yet. I want it to be something fun though. I will keep you posted on that. Meanwhile, I will also be thinking of my Ten Tiny Things to post. Have a Happy Tuesday and rest of the week. Now get going!
I completed my little purse today. I worked on it all yesterday and some today. I did a lot of stiching on it and that is what took the most time. This is the printed fabric I demonstrated the technique on yesterday on this blog. I stamped the printing with stazon ink and some of my stamps. I used the letters printed on fabric and sewed around them after fusing them on with that fusing material. I sewed on little faux antique hearts, a button and my favorite thing: a real rusty old key. You can hardly see it here in this pic-on the right. I also sewed little jewels around two sides. This was a soothing piece of art. I had forgotten how soothing the repetitive motion of making little seams can be. It brought back memories of when I used to embroidery around printed fabric to make little pillows and baby blankets.
