Hand Made Journal



This is an examle of how this trim is used.  Makes a creative Journal

Pour Vous




I mixed blue & green dye along with a little water, drops of blue and green dye, also added a little vinegar for the color to set.  I then soaked a strip of natural muslin (torn in a 2 yard strip) in the solution  for a few minutes. I usually hang my strips outside to dry.  Then hand stamped with a rubber stamp "Pour Vous" which is French translated to english "For You" 

This trim is available for purchase
in my ETSY store.

Winter in the Methow Valley

We haven't much snow this time of year. Not like it was in years past.  I am used to several feet of snow so it will insulate this cold country.  I do hope you enjoy some of my photos of my place and surrounding area.


After a heavy frost !
