Is the end of the world near?

2010-07-16T23:55:00.000-07:00

Everyone seems to be asking is the end of the world here. I believe we are living in the end times. I used to want to live for ever and see my children and grandchildren. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to die, but I do want to see and be with Jesus. The world today is a horrible scary place and it seems to get worse every day. Things are changing so fast and not for the better. America is declining and the rest of the world is turning chaotic. It seems as though the government is working against us, not for us. I believe they have a bigger agenda in hand and are dealing the cards accordingly. They are pulling their aces out just as soon as their is some sort of catastrophe. It makes you wonder who is the puppet and who is the puppeteer. It is the government who is supposed to have our best interest in mind. Who are they really working to help. This is not something that is new, but something that has been in the works for some time now. We are just now seeing the effects of all the strings that have been pulled behind the scenes. I am not sure if we can do anything to stop this chaos, as it is part of the end times. It is written in the bible that these things will come to pass. We all need to keep the faith and follow God's word. God is the only hope that we have . We are seeing the end times and living as it was in the days of Noah. If you are living for Jesus you will have eternity with him in Heaven. At any time and any day the Christians could be raptured to Heaven. What a beautiful day that will be..

See You Soon

PEASANT DRESS WITH BELL SLEEVES

Photo Collage gift

2010-07-12T15:45:00.000-07:00

I made this for a cousin that was getting married.

I used modge podge to glue the pictures and scrapbook paper. The wooden plaques were bought at Joann's for 2.50 each. I spray painted them first. I also drilled holes to attach the 3 together with ribbon.

Screen printing with tulle and stencil

2010-07-12T12:49:00.000-07:00

Supplies needed:

Tulle

stencil ( pre cut or cut your own)

Paint brush

fabric paint or screen print ink

masking tape

fabric/T-shirt

Start by cutting a piece of tulle large enough to fold in half and fit under your stencil. You want the tulle to be a little larger that the stencil so that part of it comes out around the edge of stencil.

Get your stencil out and put some tape on a few edges to stabilize it to your fabric.

Place tulle on the fabric in the desire area you wish to screen print. Place the stencil on top of the folded tulle. Once you have this in place you want to tape a few edges to your fabric or t-shirt.

You are now ready to apply the paint. I use speedball paint and Jacquard inks. Apply a small amount to your brush and apply it in the same manner you would a normal stencil. Stipple the paint onto the fabric. You do not want to brush the paint because this could leave brush marks on the image.

Next you need to carefully pull the tape loose and take the stencil off and then the tulle. Make sure you do not wait too long before taking the tulle off or it will dry and stick to the paint.

Final step is to follow the instructions on the bottle of ink you used and you are finished.

New Serger

2010-07-11T22:25:00.000-07:00

Today is the first day of the long track ahead for me and the machine. I finally got the Singer pro finish serger. It was a little challenging the first hour of trying to figure the monster out. I tried and tried to get the thing to sew the chain it had on the inspection fabric still attached to the thread on the machine. I was so frustrated when it kept balling up in a knot and had no clue as to why. I thought my venture was shortly lived. That is until I finally realized that I needed to put the presser foot in the downward position. It has worked loke a champ ever since. I have never used this type of machines before but to my surprise it is not as difficult as one would think. Once you get past all of the threading. So I hope me and my little machine have a long relationship making the oh so cute clothes for the little Mady Moo.
