I was one of the locals who accepted the challenge to create a special bra to be displayed and auctioned off at "Bras for the Cause."&amp;nbsp; Proceeds from the auction benefit our local Relay for Life. &amp;nbsp;What an exciting evening we all had.&amp;nbsp; My bra, titled "The Girls" was modeled by Mary Linda's husband and my childhood friend, Harlan. He did a bang-up job presenting my bra and that of fellow artist, &lt;a href="http://www.mizfunked.blogspot.com/"&gt;Karen Burges&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; "The Girls" took the prize for "Best Themed Bra."&amp;nbsp;

Yesterday I happened upon a great yard sale and bought a vintage, albeit, plastic sewing box, sans vintage package of sewing needles. The lady who checked out before me grabbed the quaintly illustrated package of needles. Never the less, the sewing box was a great find since it did contain a chrome tatting shuttle AND a great pair of pinking shears! I immediately put those little shears to good use and cut my leaves from some velvet from my special stash. After handpainting the veins with gold acrylic paint, I decided they will do just fine in my next fabric creation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, as for the pieces of fabric you see laying on the scrubs....they just got a good soaking in coffee to stain them and now they are drying in the hot Texas sun!&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NWX4Q1OY5oI/Tdlv8sD_gLI/AAAAAAAAAN0/zX6LQ73pn6Y/s1600/coffee%2Bstaining.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609637899277402290" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NWX4Q1OY5oI/Tdlv8sD_gLI/AAAAAAAAAN0/zX6LQ73pn6Y/s400/coffee%2Bstaining.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5375601777712665591-2991426504101746485?l=gypsyczech.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gypsyczech.blogspot.com/feeds/2991426504101746485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gypsyczech.blogspot.com/2011/05/preparing-for-fabric-collage.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5375601777712665591/posts/default/2991426504101746485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5375601777712665591/posts/default/2991426504101746485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gypsyczech.blogspot.com/2011/05/preparing-for-fabric-collage.html' title='Preparing for Fabric Collage'/><author><name>dix</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05123216030950128802</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YkZGR-IM6nc/TwUObAYLOWI/AAAAAAAAASc/aBKKf8iFIHA/s220/dixie%2B1%2Bself.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BYoWynPdV78/TdlwKHMkgnI/AAAAAAAAAN8/kh_LGLpdxKY/s72-c/cheesecloth%2Broses%2Bvelvetleaves.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375601777712665591.post-6268006721762250115</id><published>2011-05-16T16:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-16T16:04:18.792-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Rose Is A Rose Is A Rose!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BVLg_bPj9ak/TdGtB25_GuI/AAAAAAAAANk/jwsZFZF57a4/s1600/cheese%2Bcloth%2Broses.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607453258483178210" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BVLg_bPj9ak/TdGtB25_GuI/AAAAAAAAANk/jwsZFZF57a4/s400/cheese%2Bcloth%2Broses.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just created these little cheesecloth roses and had to share them with you.
