Midnight Fantasy Garden

I made this bit of fabric with some of my orts. Sandwich some orts between a couple of pieces of dissolvable Solvy, stitch all over it with the sewing machine (I wish I would have used a bright thread, not white) and then put it in a bowl of water to dissolve the Solvy and let dry. 


After it was dry I cut out some butterfly wings to add to a Midnight Fantasy themed RR block of Meg's. 

A bunch of flowers and some crocheted butterflies later and I've finished my section of Meg's block and am ready to pass it on to the next stitcher.

The Way Things Ort to Be

I've been saving orts in a gallon jar. I was thinking I would make an ort jar lamp with a crazy quilt shade.

I bottle up lots of things...

..and sometimes I feel like I'm hanging from a thread.

A lamp might be just the thing to "lighten" my load ;-)
