Packages and letters are away! Mollymook, Camperdown and Polvadera, heads up! A week to ten days, give or take.
My friends live in places with names as interesting as the new colors who arrived yesterday: Raven, Robins Egg, Avocado, BlueViolet, Daffodil and Golden Brown.
I have to figure out a whole new way to dye indoors. There will be a technicolor bathtub and sink. For fun, I'm going to make a smock, a large rug and a set of towels, all cotton, only for dye fests.

Have been stitching your "dirty" thread (I'd call it enchanted myself) on a bit of your cloth, using Saskia's words ... I will pass the time imagining your new accoutrements
a smock....love the thought of a
smock. what a great word
as is accoutrements...am looking around at what i might refer to
as accoutrements here....?.......
WAITING
I have dismembered a fitted sheet, cutting the elastic away from the cloth with about six inches to spare..Ruffles galore! There will be pockets too.
Camperdown Hooray, please e-mail the invoice and I will pay you straight away!
You must throw the dyes around a lot... I do all my dyeing on the top of the washer & dryer, but I have a rinse sink next to them so I can mix dyes & rinse/wash right there. The sink starts looking a little funky after awhile, but it's my house and I don't care! BTW, I have all those colors... bet you'll like 'em! Happy dyeing...
Delicious colors. And rock salt--perfect!
Trial and Error is the way most great things were developed. Take pictures along the way and keep a journal. there may be a "BOOK" on dyeing in your future. and knowing your way of spinning a tale--a great read.
Glad someone is full of confidence. Today, I am not.
