Tanned apple brown betty


She is nicely stained :D


"apple brown betty" SAL
Block Size: 3 1/2" unfinished

I soaked her into a tea/coffee mix 
for a couple of hours on last Sunday
and she turned out pretty nicely
with some vintage look stains!

She looks so pale before the soak.


And I would like to show you
the back of apple brown betty
as I added something I really like :)

I added the corner flaps for the hang like

I thought it is such a neat idea for mini's display!!
Thanks Mary for sharing that.


Ms. Limo just wants to say a quick hi to everyone!


It was a long week for me this week,
but it's the beginning of the weekend now!!
What a wonderful thing, isn't it?

Have a great weekend!
