We got a couple of nice surprises in the mail this week. This fun little bunch of stuff came from my pal Kathy Jolman, in Michigan. A cute little vintage looking Halloween card with some vintage sequins & sparkly gem & shi-sha things, & a neat little leather beaded thimble pouch made by her hubby John, with some sacred cedar, sweet grass, tobacco, & Sage. Also some sage seeds.Most came from a Pow-wow they went to.
Another little surprise we got in the mail was from my sister Em. It's quite a message.
I liked it so much I decided to try doing a rubbing off of it. Maybe I'll use it for the beginning of an auction quilt for my guild.
Here's one of the pieces of fabric I tryed to stop the flow of umber with. I added some orange & yellow to it. & last is my carpet after OXI CLEAN! It only has the faintest pinky tinge left on it. I'll never look at those obnoxious commercials the same way again. I'm sold!

What sweet gifts. You've good friends and sister. That is a good idea to use a rubbing for a quilt for such a nice saying. Hope you get your dishwasher up and running quickly. Glancing at the next post, you also have a beautiful view. Alaska is so pretty!
I love your accidental mop-fabric dye job! How cool that you got to see the northern lights from the hot tub. Woowoo! I am remembering them right now. Awesome. No, beyond awesome. Way.
You forgot to mention your cutesy toilet paper from my mom....
Catching up on my reading. Hope your sister is doing well. And I'm glad your shoulder is feeling better.
I love the 'rubbing'! I thought this was appropriate for the poem on 'Dolphin Dance'! I love you!!
Ditto the oxyclean - from another recent convert.
Brake Cleaner, buy it at your local auto parts place.....I can't really tell the color of your carpet, but if you can test an area first out of sight before spraying away on the spot...I once got a bottle of army green nail polish (Halloween) out of my white carpet....
