Tried to say something on your blog but eblogger is playing up for me! <br />Yes I am keeping my fingers crossed for your house, our cottage still has the bathroom suite sitting on the floor downstairs and no sign of builder and plumber, though there are signs of stirring this week....<br />I could swear but won't ;)thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-84794200313706346142011-06-12T18:58:40.796+01:002011-06-12T18:58:40.796+01:00What lovely colours.

Having said that, I found myself UP TO DATE (!!!) with housework today, and i couldn't garden because of the heavy rain, so I sat down, listened to the Archers omnibus, and set a few stitches in my Devon village x-stitch which I haven't touched for a year . . .<br /><br />I would love to get some spinning and dyeing done - I have at least brought my spinning wheel into the sitting room now . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-65062186865957108432011-06-11T10:56:16.472+01:002011-06-11T10:56:16.472+01:00Hi Jarmara, flowers do not make dyes, its normally...Hi Jarmara, flowers do not make dyes, its normally the plant as a whole or the roots where the dye comes from. My partner has a collection of dye materials in the studio, mostly he uses mineral dyes for the scrolls..http://northstoke.blogspot.com/2010/01/japanese-dyes.html<br /><br />But I've been dyeing for years, sometimes with natural stuff other times chemical dyes, its all fascinating ;)thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-28648824252498904452011-06-10T11:25:50.997+01:002011-06-10T11:25:50.997+01:00Wow, it's like stepping back in time.

Do you wander around trying different plants and flowers to see what colours they will make or do you just follow what is in a book?Paula RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550276147711384895noreply@blogger.com
