Friday things

I have some tiny roses I want to make into bows for Violet.  The color was too vibrant for what I wanted, so I soaked them in strong coffee for a few hours. 

They must be made of polyester, because the coffee didn't altar their appearance.  I had some silk flowers that turned a great vintagey shade after being coffee-dipped.  I wish these purple flowers had been made out of a dyeable material.  Maybe next time.

Here's the fabric I'm using for Violet's "Heidi Dress".  I'm crazy about reversible fabric, although this dress won't be reversible.  I will be using each side for different parts of the outfit, though.

Dinner-

• Chicken cordon bleu (easy version here)
• tomatoes
• squash
• broccolli and brown rice casserole

You guys always eat so good. Healthy but good, you know what I mean?

Oh oh oh, maybe, very very very carefully - you could run the flower, with tongs, lightly over a flame - and toast them a little? I have to do that with unstainable flowers. Learned from my mom who makes flower things as a career ;)

Love the heidi dress everything!

I want one ;)

Looove, V
