HOPPING INTO SPRING

I know some of you are getting close to spring....am I......NOT! I keep looking for it, but up here it won't get here for another month or so. The days are getting a little warmer tho. We actually had some melting yesterday on the roads and the sunlight is longer these days so I guess we might make it another year.

So for those of you that are wanting spring to get here I am sharing with you some of the great "goodies" from the Old Farmhouse Gathering Team. I am a member of this wonderful team and we always do some real fun stuff. Right now we are having a Spring Fling Celebration. So here are some of the items you can find from this team. There are lots of good gift ideas for Easter also. I did the treasury on bunnies because bunnies are a sure sign of spring. Follow me here to see all the goodies. You can also type SFOFG in the search bar to find all the items that are offered.

Have a great day everyone! :)

TEA STAINING TODAY

It is snowing again today (of course) and I don't want to go outside so I thought I would do some tea staining.  I need to work on some of the flour sack tea towels that I embroider so I need to have some tea stain towels.

I start with white 100% cotton flour sack towels. I get them from my local Joann's (love that store!).

First I boil a pot of water. Then I put about 8 tea bags in the water and let them steep for awhile.

Next I add the towels. Usually I put two in at a time. Then I start with letting them sit in the hot water for about 10 minutes to start with.

 

 

 

 

I have found out that it depends on the towel and how it is made as to how it will take the stain. Sometimes it stains really dark right away and sometimes it takes more than 10 minutes to darken. I have had some towels that almost never get dark at all.

Next, I put them in the dryer to dry. Some people say don't dry them in the dryer, but I have  and do not seem to have any trouble.

Then I take the towel and draw on the towel. These are my own designs so I have the pattern already drawn so I just trace the design on the towel.

 

 

 

 

Then I stitch the design on the towel and whalla.......a finished towel!

 

 

I really like doing hand stitching. I ususally work on this in the evening while I am sitting in my comfortable chair and supposedly watching TV.

 

Thanks for visiting and hope everyone has a great day!
