Buttons and yarn to dye for

I am still playing with dyes and techniques.  What was so easy and fun about this is I used a kit by tulip dyes  that came with everything you needed to have fun,  I was able to spray the dye on where I wanted and in the very dark areas just applied some drops of the darkest dye.  8 hours later  this is what I had  and I can say there will be more.  While  the yarn was dyeing  so were the buttons, once white now they are a dark pretty shade of green.  Now all buttons will not go this dark it depends on what they are made of as to how much color they will absorb  And remember your yarn has to be 100 percent cotton.  I used a ball of white peaches and cream cotton yarns

I just opened a shop on Zibbet

Jacki of Christiecottage.etsy.com introduced me to Zibbet and I am excited to get going on this adventure. I really love the way that if you are a premium seller you can use different size banners, put your etsy mini in your shop as well as other widgets. I added my twitter as well.

I will be adding items daily to get this place going. It is only 7.00 a month for premium and you get a lot for that 7.00. There are no listing fees or final value fees and lot's of perks making your shop look really nice. I made myself a large banner as you can use different sizes as a premium user.

cookies, shawl pins and buttons

I was in a baking mood today although this has been a hectic day. My next batch is m&m cookies. all those ingredients and only 3 dozen. Was hoping for more. So I also made some new shawl pins and buttons. Of course I use 2 separate ovens as I don't want my cookies tasting like polymer clay. Tomorrow is Christmas eve and have yet another batch of cookies to bake and shopping to do .
