Wolf's Den

Started out last Thursday with having to take Mark over to Urgent Care for abdomen pains. They thought it might have been his appendix and sent him over to the ER for further testing. Thankfully, it wasn't his appendix, but was a part of his colon inflammed and irritated.

We spent close to 8 hours there. Needless to say, THAT day was shot. Luckily he's slowly getting better- they don't know what causes it, and only time and good meds will fix it.

Saturday was our 19th Wedding Anniversary. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll have seen the photos of our lunch together and the dinner (filet mignon, fresh cut from our local butcher and hand wrapped in bacon by me! local grown sweet corn on the cob! homemade heirloom tomato macaroni salad! garlic dinner rolls! baklava for dessert!) there. The filets were absolutely delicious, simply dressed with sea salt, black pepper and a bit of butter.

Sunday I hand dyed a 5 piece set of Habotai Silk Fat quarters in rich autumn colors. Rinsed and hung to dry yesterday. Whereupon it promptly clouded over and even sprinkled a bit. Which meant, photos didn't get taken until this morning and the set was listed this afternoon.



Procion MX dyes in the following colors, left to right, back row- Harvest Wheat, Golden Oak, Bronze.
Front row- Pumpkin Spice and Curry

These weren't Low Water Immersion dyed, which meant the colors would be a lot more solid with less mottling. In fact, the only pieces with any mottling, are the Harvest Wheat and Bronze, and even those it's very little. Deep, rich colors.

Available HERE on Artfire, or HERE on Zibbet.

Next up- hand dyeing another 12 piece colorwheel and a 7 piece 2 color run, both in Habotai silk. Hope to have those listed by this time next week. Stay tuned!
