A raft of damask cutters (items stained or damaged) popped up on eBay and I was lucky enough to be first in line to grab them. They were yellowed, stained, and holey- just the way I like them.
According to the voodoo bullshitters at weather-maybe.maybenot.com next Wednesday looks like a great day to get these into the dyes.
I have some experiments planned.
I put up a few more gangs of dirty threads in the store but I won't be shipping anything until later next week.
Post wash, they are like so much vanilla ice cream or cool whip. I plan on ironing this lot to bring out the iridescence once the color comes to roost. Photographing said iridescence will be another story.
Right now, I have to do laundry and pack!
I watched "The Crown" last year and came to a better understanding of Queen Elizabeth. Like many people, I'd never given a thought to the fact that she was a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother in a hugely complicated family all the while living with the demands and constraints of being a monarch in a world that has been anxious to shed monarchies.
May she rest in peace after a long, hard job, well done.
The double rainbow over Buckingham Palace was sublime.
Then this moved me to tears.

Her
yes. exactly. exactly and exactly.
Yes, the picture is lovely but the video made with 'her' and Paddington Bear is wonderful... https://youtu.be/7UfiCa244XE
"N" is for Nancy :)
Yes, I've been listening and learning so much about her...things I too had not spent much time thinking about. The longevity alone is amazing.
That pic moved me to tears too.
