part 4!
good afternoon dear ones! it is a bit of a dreary day here in connecticut, but a good day to get work done! i hope you are all safe and warm and cozy!
this is where i do my dyeing- in our sink. usually first i have to do all the dishes before i can even start so that can be kinda a bummer! not too many dishes today though. (i wash the sink out really well when i'm done dyeing, but i still don't like dyeing in the kitchen sink too much.)
drinking loose leaf genmaicha- oh yeah!
while i dye patrick is usually trading. today is not a good day for the stock market, oil's up and everything else is going way down :( . pat is worried, and it's getting me worried too. also, the day of rage is happening in saudi arabia tomorrow, where the people are protesting king abdullah's tyranny; so people aren't sure what will happen tomorrow with oil prices. i'm kinda scared- we rely on oil for EVERYTHING. it's so short sighted- sometimes i feel like the world is run by a bunch of rich college kids.
anyways, i must keep trucking along with my work as the world maddens...
these are all the clothes before i dye them :)
liam is such a funny little bunny boy. i love him SO much- he is the light of my life. ha here he is laying on top of my book of orders and purusha info. it's like he thinks if he lays on it, maybe i won't have to work and play instead?! isn't he precious?!
this is the sink area after i wash the dishes and get everything prepared for dyeing!
these are the dyes i use- only primary colors and i mix em all up to make my own colors!
me!
pouring the salt !!
liam watches, and is patiently waiting for his run...
