DYE

i just put a whole load of clothes that i loved, but where not black into a blackdye bath.....some of them are coming out this purplery grey black, while some tops that had graphics on them are looking really good......and they where kool clothes i bought at a thrift store, well most of them.....did i tell you that i like thrifts and have A>D>D.....i thought you would have guessed it by now.....anyway i will show you them when they are done.....
so this is something else i have been working on while waiting to move.....i have got back to simple handwork....it feels good.  these are random bead strings that i made from all lose beads that i found while packing up......and some that i just grabbed out of bead jars......a relative of a relative passed away and i got a whole crate of white bed linens (the good stuff) while i love looking at beautiful white beds, lets just say it would not remain white around me for long......so i dyed them these really hot colors......one of the sheets i am making a simple curtain out of...you to straight stitches across the top.....well anyway i am going to drape them on the curtains over they are hang......remind me to take photo's......when i set up my new home.....i feel like I'm going home for the first time in a long time.....but i still always not regret , but feel bad that i am still not in sayville ny.....but life goes on and i lived there a very long time ago........but i loved it and the city was a train ride away and i could walk to the train......amazing.....how times have changed.....i now live in a place where the buses stop running at 6.....
