I did enjoy renewing my indigo dyeing gloves, and the kids at Piano Camp really loved what they did, but a tiny voice inside of me reminds me that if I’d said no, my Dyeing 104 class would have been launched by now. Hah! Teaching three 1 hour classes involved SO MUCH MORE TIME than that to prep, set up, clean up, break down, etc… And I won’t be done with it until later tonight, their tee shirts are in the washing machine as I’m writing this post. But the kids did have a ton of fun. Here’s they bandanas they dyed on Tuesday to learn about Procion MX dyes and to start planning out the colors for their final project:

So, August goals are simple:

As soon as I return from the wedding, it’s all Dyeing 104, all the time until it’s launched. Then a quick break to quilt Liam’s quilt, and then it’s back to working on the content of Dyeing 104! We’ll have a 5 day trip to Nashville in mid-August to take Liam to Vanderbilt in there too! Busy summer going by way too fast!!!
