Lovely, busy. productive in a fun way, day. I spent most of the day dying outfit pieces that I made a couple of weeks ago. The colors turned out amazing, though I was surprised that the color called Orange Sherbet really turned out to be the same color as orange sherbet! I've been disappointed many times at the differences between colors on the color card versus the colors on the actual fabric...but not this time. While I wasn't expecting anything quite as bright as this, it really is lovely, though perhaps not quite wearable. But you never know.
One of these days I will get around to taking pictures of everything I've done this month when I could have been writing. Ha!
When I finished adventures with dyes, which took all day--vat dying is very time consuming but not hard; in between stirring sessions I took the opportunity to lean back with coffee and a book in a lawn chair in the unseasonably warm sunshine--I did the last little bit of machine sewing on Balin's evening undercoat. I sadly won't have time to make much of a start on the overcoat before the Now Expected Party, which is only six days away. However, the undercoat will be ready in plenty of time. There's just the hand-sewing left and I'm done.
So, no poetry today, which may be something of a relief for some readers, but plenty of craft today, which may or may not be interesting to anybody but me.
