This little guy usually sits in my garden. As we make some changes, he's keeping me company inside - and doing a very good job of guarding the grocery list!

Yesterday was my first day after an 8-month contract of day jobbing, and wow, it felt very, very long. I was VERY happy to start off my first day afterwards out for coffee, writing my morning pages and planning, planning, planning. THAT feels like the right way to start the day.

Good news is the strawberry dye worked! And everything looks so pretty. :) Bad news? The hot strawberry liquid melted the wax, LOL. No batik strawberries I am afraid! I have never done hot clothing dyeing before, totally did not occur to me.
Still, totally reminds me of when we dyed grandma's clothing. I have such fond memories.
I think I will keep doing this with natural and cheap dyes. I got the strawberries on sale for $1! Next? Kool-Aid!

Oh, Shannon, that sounds SO good! Nothing like a coffee date and being in charge of your own time. Yay!
Suzie, those look so beautiful. The colour is just delicious!
I have such fond memory of all that dying too! What fun.

I love your frog prince/grocery list guarder Jamie, I don't think anyone is going to get past him, that's for sure!
It was so great to be in charge of my own time yesterday and I look forward to more of that in the future. I realized what I said sounded like yesterday felt SO LONG, but I was rather referring to the 8-months!
Oh Suzie I'm sorry to hear the batiking didn't hold with the warm strawberry liquid in action. I'll be curious to see the results of your next adventure!
Yup Shannon, I think that's a good sign that you're feeling more on track. Love that photo of you too!
Jamie, that is the coolest frog garden ornament I have ever seen, what a cutie! Frogs are very good luck.
Thank you! I'm pretty thrilled with the colour too. Love that it's 100% natural. Although smells very vinegary at the moment, LOL.
Thanks Shannon! Next time I batik it will be with cold dye, LOL. So much fun.
