It's a new year and so many things have happened in my life. I started a new job after being at home with my little boy for two years and while I am still getting used to the "hectic-ness" of a fulltime job and a little one in kindergarten I am loving life!
It is in this vein that I wish to remain aware of the things I have in my life and to be grateful for all I have. It's been a rough two years financially and emotionally but I'm stronger for it. This year I'd like to theme my posts around gratitude and there are three things I am very grateful for at the moment:
- My new job - a stable salary means I could get a car and still have enough to feed my crafting addiction
- My new job - I like what I do. I got my dream job. I get to teach my two favourite things; English and Textile Gestaltung which is German for what translates to needlework. Yes, I teach children to make stuff, my life rocks.
- My very creative friend Kerry who is constantly inspiring me and surprising me with her talent.
And it is from her that |I got this idea:
I used my Silhouette Portrait to cut clear vinyl to make a stencil, but you could use a craft knife. Then after many spray bottles I found the perfect fine mist spray (this is important) and sprayed on the bleach. I used neat thin bleach The results were awesome... well except the owl, like I said the spray bottle is important. Too much bleach soaks the fabric and ruins the crisp lines.
