Dyed fabric

As I was wandering through Joann's the other day (they were having a big sale - gotta stock up!) I spied the little "fat quarters" of fabric in the quilting section and had a moment of inspiration! These were originally white-on-white. It occurred to me that if I dyed them, the darker white parts might still appear white (or at least lighter). So, home with my treasure to experiment. First, I tried sponging ink from the ink pad onto the cloth. It was working, but it was tedious (tossed that scrap). Secondly, I spritzed one with a Tattered Angels glimmer mist (wow, that's cool!) and it quickly soaked up the color and a little bit of the glimmer. Lastly I used plain old re-inkers diluted with a splash of water. Again, perfect results. My tools were the plastic cases that SU stamps and lunchmeat come in (no relation to each other, honest). I placed my piece of fabric in the plastic container and used an eye-dropper to add the dye. There was so little mess that I think I could have just wiped it out with a tissue and called it done! (of course, I didn't do that, I washed it). So, anything fabric (flat pieces, yo-yo's, etc.) that I want to coordinate with my Close-to-My-Heart papers I can achieve with the re-inkers. Pretty cool, huh!

Yesterday I visited my SIL. I am just filled with joy at her progress! God is good to us! Today in church we heard two lessons about God raising people from the dead. I realize that my SIL's medical team had an awful lot to do with her eventual recovery - but I also believe God was there guiding them. He still has plans for her.

I'm ready for the new week - hope you are, too!
Namaste.
