Little late?????

I am a little late in posting what you working on Weds.? This is what I am working on Thursday. Are the days going by faster for anybody else out there. Some days I feel like they are going by so quickly.

Thanks to those who left comments on how to clean brass & copper. Ketchup on the copper??? I will try that & let everyone know if it works. I am still preparing for the Christmas show & next week will be taking a little trip down south. This is who I call Moses. He is a Civil War soldier that was a drummer. I stuffed him with sawdust & sat him on a rusty bolt. He has a little rusty star on his drum. A makedo, a pinkeep?

This is my little antique baby dress. The angel on the hanger I made , stitching her eyes and adding a rusty star.
This what I stitched on the dress and added an old baby picture. The little dress
has some pink trim around the bottom. Made of flannel , so I assuming that it was a slip to wear under the dress.


I tea-dyed it as to give it that aged look. If anyone is interested in Moses or the baby dress ; you can click on the seraphim at the top and see details on my selling blog.
