No dyeing yet

I started to wrap, fold, spindle, mutilate silk scarves ala shibori, but my thumb gave out and I have to do this a bit slower than I want to. I got one tied, and one half tied with 7 more to go, but some will be folded as well, so that isn't hard to do.
The problem with dyeing is that there are SO MANY wonderful colors and so little fabric! I am going to do some ice dyeing with this batch too.

Back to finishing up the squares and sticks handbag..............  what a good girl  :P

Thinking about what's next

I know I will probably do some small pieces to start with. I already have a Marsh Marigold drawn out and then maybe some more botanicals from the old book I have. I would take a picture, but can't hold the camera yet.

Yesterday was the big day for us and our son - it was good weather and we got really good seats in the shade. We went out for sushi to celebrate and then gave Mike a gift. Now we'll see what comes up next  :)

The aftermath....ouch!

Well I survived the surgery. My fingers look like sausages and I'm typing with one hand. I have a icepack or two on and am waiting for the swelling to go down...........looks and feels like it will take weeks.

 I just keep remembering the Foster's beer commercial .... the guy gets a rock dropped on him and he says "ouch".............they say "crybaby." Always cracked me up!

Off to sit and ice my hand/wrist which i cannot see because of the bandages.  :)
