It is early Saturday morning and it seems everyone in the neighbourhood is still sleeping. The sun is up and the birds are singing their morning greeting. I love the sound of the magpies best of all.The butcher birds are lurking somewhere, I can here them calling and of course the lorikeets and noisy minors are making their presence known.
I have taken one pic of the fabrics and laces I dyed this week. They are luscious, warm colours and I can't wait to put them to good use. I have a few more to rinse out still.
This is the last of the dye given to me by Linda nearly two years ago. Each time I look at the fabrics I have dyed I remember that visit. I must see if I can find some pics.
Talking of finding things: we had the electricians upgrading the wiring in my work room this week so have to finish putting things back where they belong. I am so pleased to have this particular work done - the wiring was done many years ago, before computers and associated equipment were used regularly. The addition of four sewing machines and other appliances really put too much stress on the system.

Those colours are just exquisite!
Have a lovely creative weekend.
Lovely colours Dian. I'm looking forward to the warmer weather to dye some things again. I love the more orange piece in the front. Our birds seem rather quiet this morning, however, the noisey minors and orioles are very busy in the bottlebrush feasting on the nectar. The sun is trying to poke through, but it still feels a little bleak. Pleased to hear you are getting back to normal after the upheaval with the electricians' visit.
Gosh!!I wish I had these pieces of gorgeousnesses(is that a word?), in my stash!!Looking forward to seeing what you make!
Gorgeous colours Dianne. Love catching up on what you have been doing. I must try and get updated too now that school holidays are with us.
