I forgot to mention. Summer is gone and unless there is weirdness or I figure out how to hold a dyefest indoors, the 2023 dirty threads & cloth are it for a while.
Check the shop tabs and stock up!

I looked it up to make sure that I was using it right. Some words get stretched and overused to the point of deviation. Redux is one of them,
Long-time readers will remember the Magic Invisibility Cloak - my half-cocked approach to a project I should have thought about for more than five minutes. But that was back in the day when I was working a half-witted job (from home, thank goodness) and had eight hours an evening to busy my hands with something that should have taken more than just the other half of my wits.
But it was fun for most of the production. I can look at it now and tell when I was running out of ideas and steam.
Once it was done, I only wore it in public a few times because I didn't have any good answers for people who would accost me in the grocery
store or the post office wanting to know if the circus was in town. "Overkill" was one way of looking at it.I feel bad about not getting in the water today.
Maybe tomorrow before we get hurricane dregs.
Now comes the hard part. Sharing. Keeping my mitts out of the cookie jar. But there's a hella lot of cookies this trip.
I've already indulged my need for some bloody reds, but I had to pack this set out of sight quickly because I could feel my fingers getting sticky.
And I'm running out of names. Going forward, they are going to be fairly obvious.
That's Claret (now SOLD!)
This is my thread box six hours later. It was an emotionally stressful day. These helped. An hour of driving with good music. A big glass of lemonade. A nap. Some 🌿.
Now replaying "Springsteen on Broadway" and shuffling these around. Seeing tomorrow's stuff.

Despite weather reports promising another perfect day for the dye deck, Colin sent this sunrise from the airport where he works. "Red sky in the morning, sailors warning."
Evidence of a life well lived.
