All I do is dye wool and write, write, write!



This big old box is jammed full of hand dyed wool yarns, roving, felt, flannel and fabric. All I have been doing for weeks and weeks is dye wool, test wool, anticipate questions, anticipate wild and crazy students who will try and out think me by veering off to the left or right of "normal" and getting notions that they are invincible. I try to second guess them and head off disasters before they start by doing the wacky thing myself so I know what to expect when a riot erupts in the classroom.

I apologize to those of you who follow this blog and have kept coming up with the same old thing on the same old page but that is really what is happening in my life right now. It's the same old thing- dye wool. Log the results. Write what happened. Test recipes. Anticipate questions.


Once again, I estimate that this new online course is composed of about 200 hours of my life. At least.


I think I will be sending the class to Carol tomorrow. Total pages? About 40? Total pictures? About 115. Total projects 15, I think. Potential for a zillion if you try all the recipes.

I need a vacation.

I've been crazy busy and just popped over to check out what's happening and am soooo excited about the new class! I've dyed wool myself and am excited to see what you've come up with.

More soon.

Tossed and turned last night. Visions of jpgs; of wool bits swimming up stream to capture me; of sheep chewing on my sheets. Make it go away! Oh wait! It did!

Today dawns bright and clear. I can do whatever I choose to do...I may choose to clean the house. That wold be different.

Thank you everyone! I do not know how often it will run but for expect that it will appear early in 2011. We haven't discussed that part yet. In fact, she hasn't even started her editing process. Once she does and sends it back to me and then I fix any unclear or blooper type things, then she figures out the schedule. I will let everyone know as soon as I know.
