A Rainbow Of Ribbons

Hi everyone,

Today I want to make some hand dyed

ribbon.  I love all kinds of ribbon.

It is so easy to make your own.

First lets get some items together.

You will need:

The inks of the colors you want to make.

A bowl to mix the colors in.

A glove to protect you hands.

A cup of water.

A container of alcohol.

Lots of paper towls:)

And the ribbon you want to color.

I am using "Hug Snug", it is a seam binding

that has a silky finish. It has 100 yards,

and it only runs about 9 dollars a spool.

I get mine from Fabric.com, they always

have great prices and free shipping over 35 dollars. They also run coupons. I get white and black. Because it is hard to make black ribbon.

I started out with a few drops of ink then added the water. I found out it is better to add the water first, then the ink.

When you have the color you desire.

Just measure out what you need, I used 4 yard

pieces, and put it in the bowl. Put

the glove on and make sure all the ribbon is covered. Then squeeze out any remaining liquid.

If you leave it in a pile like this, it will be

crinkly and the colors will be light and dark,

when dry.

                   Like this. Yes I know this is green.

                                                                    

       Also if you let the ribbons touch each other they will bleed into one another.

 So keep them apart until they dry.  

  This is the ribbons I made today.

64 yards, and it only cost me about

10 dollars to make.

To use the alcohol inks, you do the same thing, only use alcohol instead of water.

Dip ribbon in ink.

Then if you want the ribbon to be one color

and flat, just pull ribbon through fingers to flatten out and hang over door sill to dry.

And they will look like this.

I like to keep both on hand.

The crinkle you can iron flat, and the

flat you can add a little water and crinkle up.

If you only have the ink pads, that will work also. Just put the ribbon on the ink pad and hold your finger (with glove on ) over the ribbon, press down and pull ribbon through to the end. hang to dry.

I hope you will give this a try.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

 

Flower Fairy Gift Bag

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to share with you

one of the new Flower Fairies Friends Cd's.

This one is called "Christmas Tree and Holly".

With this CD I made the little gift bag.

The baby and the sentiment came

from the Fairyopolis Rub-ons.

And the 3-D fairy is from the

Fairyopolis-Complete-Card making-Kit.

I started out by picking out the bag

I wanted to make. Printed it out, then

cut it out. I used my

Ultimate-Crafters-Companion Tool 

to make the nice crisp score lines.

Then glued it together with a good

liquid glue. I embellished with the

decoupage, and rub-ons, then added

the pink tissue paper.

 Crafter's Companion also has the

Triple Disk Collection of

Flower-Fairies-of-the-Garden.

All four disk are a wonderful addition to the

New Flower Fairies Of The Garden Stamp Set.

I hope you enjoyed the gift bag.

Don't fore get to pop over to the

 Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog

Sunday Dinner

Hi Everyone,

Today I am going to do a dish in the slow cooker. I love the slower cooker,
you can put your dinner in the
cooker in the morning

and if you are like me, get the
house cleaned, then the rest of
the day is for crafting:-)

I like making something on a Sunday

 morning, then make other dishes out

of the left overs for the rest of the week.

Today I am making a pork shoulder,

 Boston butt.

Ingredients:

1. 5lb pork butt

2. 2 cans cream of mushroom soup

3. 1 can cream of celery soup

4. 1 can chicken stock

5. 1 package of beef aujus' mix

( or 1 can beef broth)

6. 2 lg sweet onion chopped lg

7. 6 stalks of celery chopped small

8. 2 cups baby carrots (optional)

9. 3 lg potatoes chopped (optional)

10. 5 or 6 garlic cloves

You can put any kind of veggies that you like.

In large slow cooker add soups, chicken stock,

aujus' mix, onions, celery, and any other veggies you desire.

Rinse the pork butt off and pat dry.

On the side with the fat make small slits

in the top and stuff the garlic in side.

Place roast, fat side up in the cooker,

and season with salt and pepper.

( be careful with the salt, the soups

have lots of salt in them already)

Place on medium (275 to 300) and
cook 4 to 5 hours

or until the roast is fall off the bone tender.

I added a few peaches on the top for

a little sweet taste.

Make the gravy out of sauce in cooker.
Pour sauce in pan, strain out veggies, put to the side. Bring to light boil,
mix 1/2 cup cold water with 3 Tbs. of
corn starch, pour in sauce. Bring
back to boil to thicken.
Serve veggies on the side, whip
up some mashed potatoes or
Mac and cheese and a salad, then ring the dinner bell. Yum!!! :)

As an added goodie today I am going

to share my sister in law, Tina's recipe for

"Bagel Cheese Dip"

1. 1 jar Old English Cheese

2. 2 8oz packages of cream cheese

3.1 bunch of green onions chopped

4. milk, just enough to make smooth

In bowl mix cheeses together until smooth.

Add onions and just enough milk to

make it smooth and creamy.

If you like it more cheesy, use an extra
jar of Old English Cheese, or add some
cheddar cheese powder.
You can get this at Nuts.com.
They have all kinds of great items.

Serve with pieces of your favorite bagels,

or raw veggies. It is also great heated

up and served over broccoli.

You can also make a great pork sandwich.

Just use some of the pork you just made.

Toast up a hoagie bun, place cheese dip on the bun and add pork and onions from

 the dinner you just made.

YUUUUM!!!

Thank you Tina!!

I hope I at least made you hungry!

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a great Sunday.
