This week I...

Dutifully worked untiringly trying to get my kids ready to go back to school. With some help from Grammie and Grandpa I think we  just might make it. I am having a hard time dealing with the fact that I have three kids in school now, I mean three kids! The paper work alone gave me a hand cramp, can't they just make copies? Three kids, I can't decide if I should run down the street laughing maniacally or lay down and cry. Maybe I will just lay down.
After all the back to school frivolity we took a break and had a wonderful crafty friend over for a dyeing afternoon. A while back I was lucky enough to win Karen's Greener Shades Giveaway on her highly creative blog from Carcoar Pottery and Humming Alpaca. The dyes were beautiful, so easy to use, and so vibrant. With just the sample package we dyed over 4 pounds of fleece and 10 large silks  (some scraps also for fairy making),not to mention had a simply marvelous day of crafting, laughter,  children running rampant around our feet.
