ursulas_alcove: Robin of the hood woodcut (Rock On!)
Working on getting the online store up-to-date. I'm busy moving back stock into displays. I know it doesn't seem like much but the 16/2 linen is done. 38 balls of yarn, all wound, labeled and in their display tray. This is all part of a larger effort to re-order yarn for my fall shows. I need to know what's missing to restock it. Many thanks to all of you who are getting a jump start on fall knitting. Orders go out on Tuesdays.

The dye pot has been bubbling away. This week I'm working on onion skins. I know, such a simple thing but the color is outstanding. Once it is washed, it will have a gold color, not the orange you see in the picture. No, it's not a camera thing. The red doesn't stick in the wool.

And, you caught me. I was lazy and didn't feel like building a fire today. I found an old partially used propane cylinder from Gulf Wars.
