Sweet Treats!

Well, I decided to get a start on CCN "Sweet Treats" last night. I was going to use the fabric I had coffee-dyed, but then decided it was too light, so then I decided to tea dye it. And then it was too dark. I then decided to tea dye a piece of white lugana and it turned out just right. Sounds like Goldilocks and the Three Bears! :) The only problem was the thread for the words "Sweet Treats" was too light. So I decided to use Weeks Dye Works Bright Leaf instead of the called for CC Peanut Brittle.

I didn't sew the buttons on yet. I will wait until it is all stitched until I do that. Now I'm going to get back to P&P. I just have to do a couple more letters in the alphabet and the top poinsettia row! Yeah! I can't wait until it's finished! :)
