Yesterday my french teacher told me we had the day off Monday! YAY! that means a four day weekend. Just what I need cause I have so much I want to get done.
Yesterday I spent awhile wrapping and tying skeins, ready for their dye bath. I hope to get some of these done this weekend! I have the silk velvet and a few other things to dye too, so I might just play in dye all day one day :)
I also worked some more on mr. moon. I still have a lot to do but he is taking shape. I am also working on my ideas for the rest of this piece. Soon it will be done I hope!
And last but not least this morning I finished the right front bodice of the top I am making. I have had several ideas about this piece. One, I thought about taking the smocking a bit more down maybe close to the waist.. Another is an idea for making a detachable skirt. to fasten on under the smocking and made of crinkle gauze hand dyed. Then I can wear it as a dress or a top. I really like the idea if I can figure out how to do it like I have in mind. Clothes can be tricky!
I really hope though that D and I get a chance to do something relaxing together. I think he has had a rough week with not much sleep! Tonight I am making him Chicken Quesadillas for supper. I haven't made those since I moved here. I already made a nice fresh batch of salsa and when he gets home I'll whip them together. I am so looking forward to some quality time!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I can't wait to see your dyes
ReplyDeleteThey are setting up now in their little trays, waiting for me to rinse them out tomorrow. I did 16 and I'm so excited!
