Friday....

Don't you just love Fridays? Its sunny and warm and a whole two days with your family! I am almost done with this little pincushion and then I will sew it up. Yesterday I started to finish all the little pieces into pillows, pincushions and a covered box. I purchased one of those paper mache boxes last week and gave it 3 coats of paint and then I tried something new. I put a coat of wax on it and my goodness it looks like a real wood box that has been stained!

I sent pictures to my friend that dyes all of this wonderful thread and ribbons - I was a little nervous after all I took her beautiful silk hand dyed ribbon and turned it into a cornfield - wouldn't want her to get upset with me! She liked the pieces very much - keep your little fingers crossed for me, I need the book people to like them just as much.......
