No hummingbirds yet but a fabulous
Pileated woodpecker stopped by for a second.
Got a nice new working surface.
Rounded up all the tools including some new big fat brushes. No dye mixed yet. My little deck frig died over the winter so I'm going to stock it with dry ice tomorrow.
I can't decide if I got more or less done. There were a lot of interruptions. Post office, plunder JoAnns and Michael's with 50% coupons.
{{gasp}}} a Nap!
About 50 pounds of miscellaneous cottons, damasks and linen soaking in soda ash solution. Some huge. Some not. I was tickled to find a small packet of alginate in the dye tub. Mixed up a gallon of goo.
Here's the first fruits of the venture, I guess. I finally unwrapped those vinegar
stinking frying pans. Some Rust. Now, what do I do about my husbands rusty
camping cookery? I don't know if I am going
to overdye these or leave them alone.

wow! I love that fabric! Can't wait to see what you do with it...;)
my cast iron frying pans are running and hiding in the back of my cupboard as I read this....
We had a pileated woodpecker just outside our window today too!
That's wonderful outside work area ... love the sinks ... and you have a fridge out there, too? I'm coveting!
That rust fabric is awesome. Can't wait to see it flattened out and in use. (sigh) more coveting....
I found your blog on Nellie-blog.......
and it's very interesting. I like it very much.
ciao ciao
