I AM A HAPPIER GIRL… I don’t do well with heat – I wilt! Now that cooler, more normal temperatures are here, at last, I am sooooo much happier. Sitting on the dock wrapped up in blankets and woolies and holding a hot cuppa is wonderful! As I always say – I can dress up for the weather but I cannot dress down!
And, finally, the trees are starting to show a little colour. Unfortunately, there was not much colour going on in my dye kitchen – for the THIRD TIME – the element on my stove died! from too much dyeing I imagine! I guess I should not complain too much – we had ordered a spare element 3 years ago when I last fried it and Gord was able to get it going again in 15 minutes but of course I panicked that I would not be able to dye. I dooooo have another stove upstairs in the regular kitchen but hmmm, I am a messy dyer and like to have everything at hand and not have to clean up mess right away so dyeing in the fancy (rarely used) kitchen was not terribly appealing – well it would mean cleaning and WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT… But all is once again well and tomorrow I will do the last of my dyeing for Saturday’s show…
So now a picture of colourful River Otters in the process of being finished by Ruth…
