indigo





I'M MADLY IN LOVE WITH IT.

actually, i'm infatuated with the whole of natural fabric dyeing.  i spent yesterday doing indigo and now i'm working on making a black.  i love the way different fabrics take the dye differently.  i love the mottling.  which is good because it just comes naturally without much care.  i love the surprise and variation. 

yesterday was a nice mild partially sunny day (as opposed to the insult of today's cold dark rain) and as i was crouching outside at the water spicket with my bucket of fabrics rinsing them on the pavement i felt all humming and happy.  so YAY for fabric dyeing.

what i'm doing now is drawing out some bag designs and thinking about the details of bag pockets and hardware yadda yadda yadda and trying my best to do this fabric justice.  so anyway, what i'm saying is there should be some indigo bags and some black bags showing up in these parts sometime soonish.  also pillows 'o course.
....
on another note, i went to my sister's 40th birthday party saturday night and drank a variety of mixed drinks and went to bed in the vicinity of 2:30 AM.  crazy time old lady.

also here's a link to eli's new trampoline tricks video!  if you click over there and increase his views he will be psyched.
...
and last, i watched this documentary and also this one last night.  i recommend them both.

BIG LOVE-

c ya

here is where i'm going tomorrow for a week and this is what i'll be doing.  in no particular order:

eating fondue, both cheese and chocolate, lolling about, reading "the grapes of wrath", making and drinking mixed drinks, sleeping on that big screened in porch, enjoying fireplace fires, enjoying outdoor bbq fires, becoming a concertina master, going for super long walks, painting my nails black, swimming out really deep, kayaking and canoeing, visiting the local farmstands, berry picking, missing you (a little bit)
