Wednesday is my usual dyeing day for the shop. If I start on Wednesday I can have the fabrics ready for the shop by Monday. My schedule is a little more complicated this week because I have a bunch of tshirts to get tie dyed by next week too. Yesterday I did my normal dyeing and today I'm doing the tie dyeing. In my free time the past 2 days I worked on the hard part, the tyeing.  These 8 will all be dyed in JMU colors (purple and gold) so that both families can have matching team shirts. The adults do not know that they are getting shirts too.  Each of the kids will get 2 more shirts. To keep the straight I used a Sharpie to mark a code on the shirt label and I have a cheat sheet so that I get the right colors on the right shirts. I finished these about 7 last night and the looked over and saw the stack of remaining tea towels. Oh, why not....  Eight tea towels tied....  ...and then there will be 8 more printed with Color Magnet. No holiday themes in this batch so I'll have gifts read for the year. It's going to be a busy day! Since this is kind of a boring white post, here are some of my favorite ornaments from my tree. I use all glass ornaments and have been collecting them for years. The white one with red spots one is the one I purchased this year to add to the collection. 12/15/2022 08:59:55 pm
That is a lot of prep work for dyeing!

Your glass ornies are lovely! I'd like to start collecting this kind, too - they reflect the tree lights so nicely. :) Any hints as to where to shop for them?

I am always impressed by the work you put into dyeing fabric/shirts/towels. Since I do some dyeing, I know how hard it is. 12/16/2022 10:22:51 am
I am curious about your comment about "printing 8 more with color magnet". I use the color catching sheets with some of the laundry. Is this the product you are using to dye with? No rush........perhaps explain in another blog entry.

I loved seeing your glass ornies! I especially love the teardrop one...so beautiful. I've always been fascinated by hand blown glass. We didn't bother decorating this year - not much point when there's only the two of us and nobody is visiting. Comments are closed.
