I’ve got to same some belated thanks! The prize for winning the Recycled Christmas Ornament contest in two parts, the 1st part, from Amy of Things We Make was some awesome books and fabric (now I DID blog about that part), but Modge Podge Rocks AMY, sent me another package that arrived in early January as well! It’s a stuff bucket filled with – stuff! mostly Modge Podge! Good thing Amy has a whole blog devoted to using it – I can see some serious modge podging in my future!

Next – I finally had time and weather combine last weekend to get some dyeing done. 3 of the folks who won my giveaway waaaaay back in November finally have their own custom dyed fabric:
And, you may remember I made a pink  & purple freshly picked shirt for the Mom of a young lady who loves those colors before Christmas. I’ve just now ironed a dress dyed for her as well – it’ll be a Valentine present!

Remember these from the other day? Well, although I forgot to bring my camera, Sharise did, and we got a few pix of the coats on their recipients! What I can’t wait to see is them being worn in the lab next semester – so FUN!

Psst…don’t forget I’m hosting another giveaway at Park City Girl, the last day to enter is tomorrow!

Phew! I finished off a lot of Christmas presents last night, and had time for a fun photo shoot this AM before I wrap them up and ship them out! I do love that there are several young gals that are on my list who will appreciate their own freshly picked shirt (ruffles or hoodies, pretty much the 2 ends of the spectrum in girlishness). And the Meyer lemons are very close to ripe!

These are off to Massachusetts:

Some lucky local gals:

My niece has a step-daughter and a new baby daughter, does that make these gals my nieces-once-removed? Whatever the title, these 2 are off to Ohio. I also had a commission for a gal who loves pink & purple!

My favorite tree for posing these shirts is VERY close to the pool, I have to concentrate where I’m standing so I don’t back into the pool! A cold shock for me, but even worse for my camera…see what I go through for my blog readers!

Moving down the list – time to write an exam! (Boo! say my students!)
