More Flowery Things

I have one heck of a flowery fabric stash, so I made up this little jewelry bag to put some of my overwhelming jewelry stash in. I think I'll try and put some of these in the TabbyToo shop and see if anyone would like one. It has eight little pockets in it to keep things separate.



I've also been dyeing my own lucite flower beads, after purchasing some that I wasn't too please with. Since I've been dyeing fabric and fiber for decades, and have a fantastic collection of good dyes, I thought I'd try dyeing lucite.
I ended up with nice, smoothly dyed beads that the color stays fast on even when washed in hot water. Here' some earrings that have a violet color I'm particularly fond of. These will end up in the shop too.


These deep red ones were dyed by me and are already in the shop. I've got some gorgeous burgundies, lavenders, blues, pinks, peach, rusts, mauves and grays to make up into jewelry. It's lots of fun.

Pouches from Hand Dyed Fabric

I love to hand dye fabric, and was wondering what else I could make with it besides little doll pins and such. I was looking for something that didn't take hours and came up with these pouches.


Since I don't use a purse, I usually have a wallet in my back jeans pocket. But there are times when I don't have a pocket, or I need to carry something that doesn't really fit into a pocket or is too fragile to sit on, like a lucet. During those times, I'll hang a pouch off my belt.

The Twenty Pound Tabby Just Has To Get Into The Picture

Yesterday I was taking some picture of Emily modeling a new hand dyed pouch I made, and Donovan, the twenty pound tabby, just HAD to be in the picture. He just about always shows up when I'm busy in the yard, begging for belly rubs.
