Another Mammie redo

I had allot of comments on my Mammie image, so I tried another, It was suppose to hold a candle sideways but my candle wasn't narrow enough, so you can use the hooks for whatevever and i just put

an image on the back so you can rotate it if you get sick of Mammie

Thrifty Swap Goodies

Oh my look at this wonderful stuff! My favorite is the bag which has an American print on the other side so it can be reversible. This was made by Debbie. The basket she weathered and added the ribbon, I have allot of baskets but this one is so different, thinking of a candle display in it. The stitchery is so sweet and its my first stitchery piece this was purchased from a little shop in the woods.Also included was some apple tea lights great for fall > Thank you very much Debbie for making my experience on the Prim Pal Forum wonderful!

UFO update and swap with Lil Raggedy Angie

Well i think it's done, not real happy with how it came out, but the more I try to fix it it gets worse. I think my problem is the gloss black paint I used. Never again no matter what. It was hard to sand, couldn't dull it with stain, and no matter how much modge podge I used the labels aren't sealed that great. I did do this in humid weather so that might have had alot to do with it not sealing. I don't hate it but don't love it, the picture looks good and I learned allot. Thanks everyone. More to come soon.

Will show you what's inside 2morrow......

Great Deal @ Rusty Thimble

Brenda was having a sale over at Rusty Thimble for 10 yards of fabric for under $20. I am slowly trying to get back into sewing (been a long time) so I saw where Tamara had purchased from her so I gave it a try. Oh my what a fabulous DEAL. She send me so many extras and the colors are amazing, I was gonna use this material to start sewing again, but I don't want to ruin it, so to start I'll go back to the old T shirts. Everyone should go to http://therustythimble.blogspot.com and check out her sale, you wont be disappointed

Ink jet versus Laser Printer?

Hi, all I'm considering purchasing a laser printer and would like your opinions. i have read reviews but I want to hear the pros and cons from you guys. I would still use my ink jet but basically what I want it for is to print on fabric. Alot of tutorials I have been reading lately call for a laser printer. I know you can print on fabric with inkjet but to use the citrasolve or the woodburning tool it must be laser printed. The cost seems cheaper for laser(per item) i would only be using it for black and white. Please give me your thoughts UFO update to come .

UFO update

Ok, so I painted over the red with black then sanded the edges, but the white (base coat) showed thru not much red so re sprayed the spots withe black. It's not as bad as the picture but I don't like how the sand lines stick out, should I just seal it now or ???? Remember a label will be on it so it might hide the sand marks. Also I cant download the place I get my labels any suggestion for a supplier. It needs to be a full sheet I think for the front not labeling the sides I don't think.

UFO coming along but still need advice

Ok thanks to all that have helped but need a little more, the first time you saw this it was just base coated white. I painted over it a reddish then sanded it so some of the white shows. Now what? Should I just stain over it all then If I'm happy seal it? Another thought was painting it all again in black then sanding so the red shows. I also was thinking of before I seal it to at a Primmy stencil saying at which point would I do that? Thanks everyone I'm slowly learning

UFO HELP

Hi, all What would you do with these? They have a base coat on them and that it. I want to get them finished but I'm stuck on what to do. Last time I tried to make something aged it didn't come out right. I don't understand what I did wrong. I base coat it,

then paint over the base coat, then sand so the base coat shows in spots. Is this the right technique? What can I do to these? I really want them out of the UFO pile?

I have been trying by myself for 2 days to try to figure this out. N0 instructions and the web videos are useless! Oh well I'm sure someone will help me at the market..........
