that is, the dyeing in a jar with a copper pipe. Here are the results.

| the white trailing lines in the center are from the copper wire I used to wrap the bundle. |
 |
| those fine lines throughout are from the slivers of steel wool spread over the cloth. |

| love this area |
I used the same liquid that is now totally black from all the iron in the steel wool and prepared a bundle with rose petals, and rose leaves and lilies and amaryllis flowers and coleus from the freezer. I used a linen/silk cloth this time. I added the turmeric and steel wool bits once again. I'll show you the results next time.
I did some more stitching on the blue gingham travel/sewing pillow and hope to have it finished by next week.

I've been enjoying being out in the backyard during the early morning hours. Some of the garden seeds are coming up but are not doing as well as I expected. I fear it will soon be too hot out there. We went from some very cold mornings to very hot days. Spring seems to get shorter each year.

| just a small 4x4 garden area. It's the only spot where I get 6-8 hours of sun. |
Wishing you all a good weekend wherever you may be.
