thumbs up for the overalls, they are just such wearable hugs...k.
Hey Deanna, I love the photos of you in the overalls. How cute. I wore them when I was pregnant. The dyed turned out very well. Thanks for the paper tut. link. I will show them to my group next week. Great for Christmas gift tags - Enjoy your weekend - Hugs Nat
Boy, you HAVE been busy. Lovely dying that I wish I could see close-ups of! AND the pictures in over-alls! Why such teeny tiny pictures?! I want to see close-ups! I love the 70's. Your weaving looks really interesting. I was thinking of trying a little weaving around stretcher bars. I have absolutely NO CLUE how to do it, but thought I'd bumble along and see what happened. I have some wonderful silk ribbons and some really cool silk yarn (?) made out of sari's. I thought a little weaving might be fun to add to some cloths I'll be stitching later this winter.

I love the dyeing you have done here. Really rich colors. I also love the paper star and would love to try one even though it seems a bit complicated.
What a fun photo of you in the overalls. You have been busy with some neat projects.
you have achieved some gorgeous colours with your dying Deanna, lovely, warming colours.
Overall........its from a distance but you look good in it.

Your busy fingers have been creating all kinds of things! Nice colours on the onion dyeing and I like how you've combined those stripes!
Great idea popping the stripes in the dye pot. What bright colours you are getting.
lovely dye colours deanna, you sure have been busy, love that weaving. and those overalls.
