I had such a lovely time last night - wonderful company and natural dyeing = awesome.
we mainly focused on indigo dyeing and there were a few other pots of natural dye brewing. it's always nice to be around like-minded friends who share the enjoyment of each other's results and experiments. we will have to do it again really soon. thanks again julie for hosting it!
I hope you all have wonderful plans for the weekend - perhaps with your dad. I will secretly do a post on the weekend for john. he doesn't visit the blog often (so he might not notice) he isn't a fan of having his picture on the blog. some notes on the canada post strike - if all goes well they will be up and running by thursday - I can't begin to tell you how much stress it's put on me, but I must say I have the best customers who are so understanding.
have a wonderful weekend friends-thanks for visiting! xxa

  5. sonia - have a great weekend too.
    a dyeing party at margie's when your down would be so much fun!

    nicole - you must start one - the one julie did on her blog is a great one - I think margie uses that same recipe too.

  6. Lovely indigo! I was looking around for a local green indigo class in SF but learned I had to be 50 to take it, darn! I will learn one day! I can't wait to see how the intense color shows up in your work.
