Snow day......

Today was snowy, but not very. Just enough that I had someone else sub for me on my visit, so I stayed home. And tomorrow, we are supposed to see 9-11 inches of snowy, so she'll sub again, which means a short paycheck, but it would be even shorter if I banged up my car and missed a whole week while getting it fixed.

But anyway, I put etsy fabric up this afternoon, until I froze out sitting in the den (not heated, except for what flows in from the dining room). Here are a couple of my favorites of today's offerings:




Not that I think anyone reads my blog, but just in case, here's the URL for my etsy site:

Otherwise, I spent the day doing the photos and I dyed a couple of test pieces with Dharma economy muslin to see if it has to be scoured or not - jury is still out, as it's not out of the washer yet, and I'm not getting it out tonight. I also dyed some socks and a rayon t-shirt. I've not dyed rayon before, so this is a little adventure. It's a T that I've had for some time so I just put it thru the process to see how it comes out.

Tomorrow another snow day - I plan to go upstairs and actually do some work. The first half of the day, I think I will work on organizing my space as much as I can, then during the afternoon I'll start a project, probably a piece for HomeSafe. And that will be the un-auspicious start of the next step in my journey. So with that, I'm ending THIS day.
