Morning Kayte!! Although I understand the concept of the brag thread, I don't like that you can't be there.
I guess I would like to see the "brag" back here where you get to participate.....and we "brag" right here. I personally liked the way it was with everyone here.
So, here's wishing you and Doug a great St. Patty's Day!!
I wore your tip like "this" yesterday.
Aww. That's really sweet of you. I'm okay Cat! I'm enjoying peeking in on the thread and seeing all of the tips there and Doug and I both just feel so honored that you guys would want to 'brag' on your tips. That's seriously wonderful to us and makes us feel pretty warm and fuzzy.
Love that set up!!!!
I'm using my soft green loofah acrylic tip today. It is so pretty and perfect to have in my hand for green. I wouldn't want to be pinched.
So, Kayte, I know you have been thinking and planning all winter, lol! Now I want to know what you are going to surprise us with?
I bet you have all kinds of combinations swirling around in your head, and I need some hints!
Pine needles, more beautiful dried petals? Maybe some moss or feathers? I can't wait to find out!
Anything but bugs, noooo bugs!!! LOL
Are you sure on the bugs? We've been invaded by little black ants and well....
I actually am thinking moss. And tiny pinecones. Together.
I'm not sure about pine needles because they're quite oily. I'm not sure the resin would react well with them. But who knows. I could pour a blank and let it sit for awhile to see!
Absolutely on more flower petal/potpourri tips! I have lots of containers of petals waiting!
I've also wondered about drying lemon, orange and lime peel. If I can figure out how to dry them so that they retain good color, wouldn't that be fun?!
I have a few other ideas but well, somethings shouldn't be revealed before their time.
What a weekend..... I started on my sewing projects and made two nightgowns and a sun dress for Ella....I'm pretty proud of myself..learning how to sew via you tube and books (I do have people I could call 911 if needed but I was able to understand the pattern of choice so all went well). There are mistakes in all three pieced, my granddaughter won't notice or care..and I just figure it's part of the learning process. My goal is to learn what I'm doing before I sew something important like a prom dress or something many years down the road.
Kayte I think the idea of making one or two special orders a day is the perfect place to start.
That's great! I'm not a very good seamstress and working with patterns has always frustrated me. My mom was an amazing seamstress (made all our clothes, her clothes and even made my dad dress shirts.
) She tried to teach me.
My grandmother made a few things for me, too and I cherish the memory of her doing it. I asked her to make some fairly wacky things in my teens and she was such a good sport.
Bugs, hmm, I have a feeling Kayte could come up with something some would like, but I know it would have to be something like colorful butterfly wings for me.
But that made me thinkin, and wonder if it would be possible. A steampunk block? Use teeney tiny gears from a pocket watch or something in the resin?
No little ants for you either?
A steampunk block would be interesting! Doug might nix that idea because of having to turn it and not have it shatter, but I might be able to figure something out.

Thank you Doug and Kayte! I love the Curly Oak tip with paw prints! Matches my Reo Curly Oak/Ebony Mini perfectly
Y'all Rock!!
Debbie
Those look just wonderful together! Seriously seriously love it!!! I never would have expected paw prints to tie into 'elegant' so well. You did amazing with choosing what you wanted!
Ahhh Choo, it's just me. I don't understand why we split it up or why we can't brag right here on
Kayte's thread. I also liked the chit chat in-between a growing "family". It just means I have to bounce back and forth now and the conversations and comments amongst each other are now split up.......just me....I'll live.
It's a one man one woman team and I want Kayte to have time to play and create which is what she was happy doing.
I got the last part of a big order today that I had placed last week for sparkly endeavors. Oh my!!! Colors colors colors! I get to start playing with them this evening after dinner. Speaking of which... Doug just came in the door ready to eat.
Good think I just have to zap it tonight!
