Hello everyone!
Pretty slack day yesterday on Little Wings. We were busy most of the day and when I finally sat down yesterday evening I noticed a black mark on my fabric. Made by a 2 year old and a black Sharpie... I was not a happy camper. My boyfriend works with sheet metal so black Sharpies are pretty common in my house. When I find them I put them up high but they are the choice writing utensil for my 6 year old so they sometimes wander into the living room and yesterday Thomas found one and had a ball. The only good thing was it was one mark that looked like this ^, so I got out the Orvus Paste, which is actually horse shampoo or so I am told, and got to work. I think I was pretty successful.
You can just barely see where it was. So all is not lost! I will be on high alert for Sharpies from now on!
So since Little Wings was wet I decided to have a new start to make me feel better. Do you remember a couple weeks ago when I said I was dying fabric for a new start? Well if you do this is that fabric. It is the Joyful World Freebie from The Snowflower Diaries. I didn't order the threads that were called for, I am just using some threads I already had and I am happy with how they look. This is such a cute design, you should all go check it out!
Lost fabric update :
I was to the post office this morning to file a lost mail report. They gave me a phone number and the report has now been filed and if they find the fabric I should hear back in 2 weeks. If not I guess my next step is to get Paypal involved.
Fingers crossed everyone! :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Stitching!
You did an excellent job of getting the mark out, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keebles, I scrubbed the life out of it. I figured I had to get that stain out or I would have to throw the whole thing out. Thankfully my stitches held up well.
DeleteThat was a close call! I'm so happy for you that you were able to remove the stain!
ReplyDeleteGreat new start, love the fabric!
Thanks Annie! I was pretty sure it wasn't going to come out but that orvus paste worked wonderfully!
DeleteOh MY!! I would have had a heart attack! I am amazed at how well it came out, I can not see it at all. Beautiful stitching by the way! I had to click the link to see the new start and now.....I have more on my wish/todo list!! Thanks LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Bridge! I was pretty upset thinking I was going to have to throw the whole thing away. I was really amazed at how well the orvus paste worked. I will definitely be keeping that on hand for emergencies! Happy I could add to your wishlist haha! Let me know if you start it!
DeleteSo glad you got the marker out! I would have panicked and probably gave up on that one.
ReplyDeleteGreat new start. Just what you neefed.
Thanks Sarah! I was ready to just throw it out but I thought I might as well try to wash it, what did I have to lose. Thankfully I was lucky this time!
DeleteI have a three year old and I would have been panicking. Also, love the freebie. May just have to be something I stitch.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it cute?! I can't wait to find some more time in my rotation to fit it in.
DeleteAnd there was definitely some panicking going on haha. I was sure I was going to have to throw the whole thing out!
