So, I'm (slowly) working on that, lol.

The charms:

So now, I'm taking an ironing break...hopefully will get them all ironed open before bedtime. :)

I hate it when I get a certain type of fabric in my head, then can't find it! :-(

I love Dresden plates and sure would like the measurements to yours! What about some of your gold/orange in the background? Whatever you pick I think it will be amazing!
