Looking good so far. :thumbs:
Getting ready to press it.
It's darker in real life, so I'm done dyeing it.
As I suspected, the liner for the banana basket didn't mottle much. It took the color.
I'm sure it's a poly blend, therefore it won't go in the oven...not sure the oven did much anyway. :laugh:
I didn't "baste" the first one because I was good with the color as is.

Going to try my evenweave next. The one for the ABC Sampler. I have two lengths, they're already a tea dyed color, purchased that way, but no mottling. Then I can see which I want to use. :)
Kinda fun. :laugh:

Yes I have Friday off but it never feels like a long weekend o_O
Really don’t know why I get Mondaitus, I know working is good for me mentally and physically :?:




Got the bills paid up for the month and cooked some bulk burger for future chili.
I agree, good physically and mentally for me too. When I'm home all the time, I have no motivation.
If I only have a day, or a couple days, I know I have to actually get moving or nothing will get done.
When home all the time, well...there's always tomorrow. :lol: :facepalm:

Our rain stopped before daylight :(

It is cloudy and cool though, have the windows open for awhile. :)
Haven't had a drop. It was around 70 last time I was out, but humid. :(

That’s cool :thumb:
I'm liking it very much!!

    Hasn’t rained here all day but we’re still wet from last night ... and that breeze is getting nippy!

    Still raining a little here and is a little cool out but the air smells clean except for my smoke :)

    Yes, having fun!
    Well, my second piece didn't mottle at all. :( Just turned out a little darker overall.
    It was a different fabric, and was dyed/tea stained color. No mottling to begin with.
    Not sure but possibly had been finished to be colorfast, which would explain the fabric not wanting to take more dye/stain. :unsure: No idea, I'm a total noob.
    I'm sure this will be trial and error. The color is fine though, so no harm done. :)
    It's still wet, maybe some mottling will show when it dried. :unsure:

    Lol's that your DH is on his way home!! Prob cool at night, maybe?

    Raining/slow drizzle here, much cooler!!

    Hope you get it going OBG. :)

    Ok, guess I should find something to eat.

    Lovely desserts tonight!! :drool: #3 would be my pick. :)

    Aw, I’m sorry it didn’t do right ... better luck next time right? :)

    Yep, he’s already laid out on the sofa watching his beloved TV ;)
    Apparently they weren’t having much fun this go round :?:

    Sigh, guess we’ll all have to try and get to bed at a decent time tonight :rolleyes:

    Yep. White will prob always take color the best, just my thinking.
    My DH loves his TV too. He had to watch quite a bit before he left to free up space so he could record the race and other stuff this weekend while he was gone. :laugh:

    I'm definitely going early tonight.

    No grey just light brown,I think I have a pic I'll look ;)



    T Bone came out great just had to hold the cover over it when flipping :D



    I did I was a Boy scout you know :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
    Yes, would love to see a pic. :)

    Yea on the T Bone!! :thumbs:

    :lol::lol::lol: Of course you were!!

    I'm going to go ahead and say goodnight. Man, I am pooped and still need to eat and get my bath, BUT I have gotten through a good portion of what I wanted to get done this weekend!! :thumbs:
    Not much stitching, that I had wanted to do, but loads of other stuff that needed done! So, I'm happy.

    Sweet dreams when y'all go! :wub:
