I really did intend to coffee dye only one of the strawberries..... but I liked the one I did so I did the other too....
I fussed with this and that but in the end, I went with my first plan. I also dipped the cords and the caps. It is so hard to see, but one of them is a little darker than the other. If you look at the picture with the floss, it may be possible to see the difference in the brightness of the colors. I may still add some distressing to them...thinking about it. I am so pleased with them and will probably make a few more. Only one will be staying with me. I added lavender seeds to them and it is a faint scent that comes through as I mixed it with the fiberfill. Love lavender but sometimes it can be over powering. I began to work on Amazing Grace late yesterday and hope to have something to show you soon. My plans today? Well, first a doctor appointment for Mr H and then I will bake a banana cream pie. I do not think I can work on Elizabeth as I have a few dry spots on my hands and do not want to catch on the silk threads. Loads of lotion to be applied. Thank you for the kind words...they always brighten my day. Hope you have a wonderful day.....

I love your Hummingbird piece, the little over 1 birds are gorgeous, so delicate.
Your dyed fabric is great too, especially the cherry piece, what a great idea.
I really like these little strawberries. I received one from Lee and just love it.
Someone else is stitching the china doll project but for the life of me I can't think who! She has a blog...
Finally, hope all the health problems resolve themselves soon.
