I Have Been Saved!

There is no 'Gloom, Despair or Agony' here any longer!  It took a little work, but I conquered the 'Big, Bad Fading Beast'!

I posted my 'Gloom' on Flickr and got a tip about Oxy Clean from Anne @ Play Crafts.  Plus, I got a link to this blog:  Material Culture that discusses this very issue.  After reading, researching and and a trip to the grocery store I was ready to tackle it.

After my first attempt:  Oxy Clean Gel Stain Remover, Oxy Clean Detergent and a Color Catcher - This is the results: 

So much better, but still not gone or good enough for me.  Last night I started again.  I put gobs of stain remover on and let is sit for 15-20 minutes.  I filled a bucket with hot water along with one Oxy Clean packet, color catcher and threw in the pillow cover.  I let it sit over night.

This morning I washed and dried it and Viola!  I am pleased as punch!  I do believe this gift has been saved!

Can you see it? 

And here they are...the Three Wise Men!
