stamping little socks
I carved these little stamps from a rubber to decorate the bag I’m making for my sock kit swap pal. Obviously I’m a little late in getting going on this, but I think I can get it sent out tomorrow. (Tomorrow afternoon anyway). I was going to try printing the fabric using the waxed paper through the printer method, but after I spent ten minutes trying to get the paper to stick to the fabric I gave up. Then I looked on the box, it says microwave safe. Microwave safe doesn’t sound like a product that will melt to my fabric. Hmmm… and after it took so long to even find the stuff. But I love how this turned out, happy accident indeed.
(apologies for the crappy washed out photo, it’s getting dark)
The stripey button raglan now has stripes.
The colour looked a lot more blueish in the shop, I’m not so sure about it now. What do you think? Stupid flurorescent lighting.
Today I sent off the big secret project I’ve been working on, I love it and hope you will too. I want to finish up some of the projects and patterns I’m working on now.
And… I don’t think I can contain my excitement any more, I have a flat! I love it, it’s so pretty. I can’t wait to show some photos, but as I’m not moving in until mid October I guess that will have to wait until then. I’m currently poring over the Ikea catalogue, dreaming off baking things in glass jars, and shoe racks and fabrics. Yeah, I’m sooo exciting these days.
Umm yeah by baking things in jars I meant that I want to put stuff like flour and sugar in glass jars - not that I’m going to bake things inside glass jars. That would result in explosions that will exciting would also be a bit messy.

Baking things in glass jars? Sounds explosive… hee! :)
That fabric is wonderful. Your sock kit swap pal will be very pleased! (or at least, I would be).
Looking forward to seeing your secret project.

Those stamps are so cute and unique … you swap pal would love what you’ve done, I’m sure.
The colour looks more green on my screen … still beautiful anyway.

Huzzah for the new flat!
I have always been lucky enough to live in a good standard of housing but my current flat is more a home than I thought possible, my standard of living and happiness has shoot through the roof!
Just think you will be putting up your christmas decorations there!

I think that the raglan colors look great … it looks more like two different shades of green rather than a light green and a dark blue. And monochromatic is far from boring ^_^

I think those raglan colours work well together. Congratulations on the flat!

That fabric is great - the stamps are fantastic. Actually I’m in awe that you managed to carve those out yourself, I’m sure I’d get close to finishing, then make a big cut at the end and slice half the thing off!!

The stamps are great…fiddly things to make though!
I love the greens in the top down raglan, but then I am a green fan! I will be starting Matilda jane soon in a lovely green.
All the best for your new flat.
