Here it is Friday already, the week has flown by so quickly…..that means though that the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics is tonight!!! I LOVE the Winter Olympics!!!
I have been PLAYING – with Dyeing Threads for the Mark Making class over at Joggles taught by Melanie Testa. I have run out of white embroidery floss now, so will set aside the 
dyeing materials until I get some more. This is TOO FUN!!! Lesson 2 of the Mark Making class is making a sample book…..below is page one – MY CROW! Everyone else is probably doing a different bird but I like crows or ravens.
I am LOVING this technique – I am thinking of trying out a buffalo today for a project I am working on.
Page 2 – I’m still trying to decide what to make.
And, today we received Lesson 3 of 4 of the Freezer Paper, Paint, Oh My! and WOW is all I can say. I have some other painted fabric samples to post, and I didn’t forget to do my Week 6 of the 52 Questions project – will post that soon. As I said, I don’t know where the week has gone. I did take an hour & half to get my hair cut & coloured. 
I have many upcoming deadlines and alot of the projects are just sketches right now, but really that’s how I work. I work out the whole design in my head or on paper and then it doesn’t take very long to get the idea onto fabric. For me, the longest part is getting the idea onto fabric, I make little samples if there a certain technique I need to check to see if IT WORKS….

Wow you’ve been so busy! I haven’t even had the time yet to try out lesson two. (Not even sure if I HAVE a darning foot with my sewing machine. I may have to improvise again. I have been able to dye a little more thread…Your Raven looks wonderful!
I am happy you are taking both classes too Dale. You have been a super fun ‘student’.
Love the bird and love the winter olympics. Hope we both enjoy it and our countries do very well!
Loving that raven. Gorgeous. I’m happy you decided to take the second class as well.
