I have another nice order from Idlewild store downtown Cumberland. My cabiny creations are selling well, which is a good thing for them and for me! Most all need some sort of time on the embroidery machine. So while it is sewing away on its own, I gave myself permission to play a little. I love stamped and painted fabric, but that is something a little out of my comfort zone, thus, my satisfaction with the end results is low. It isn't as simple as it looks, and, like most all crafts, must take a bit of practice. Genine Zlatkis is a favorite artist of mine from Mexico. She has some stamps for sale at
magentastyle.com. I bought four stamps and decided to stamp a new dish towel for myself with some pretty cobalt blue ink. It is the type of ink that is colorfast once it is heat set. I stamped away, got blue all over me and the table, and smudged the towel here and there. But, overall, I think the results are okay. Folk arty, don't you think? I think I will keep my day job, but it was a fun playtime. Jerilynn
