The mighty little hunter
Miss Olivia has the sweetest face...
but I'll bet if she got outside
the grinnies and birds would be in big trouble...
she is on constant window patrol
only stopping to harass Chester on the way
and hanging out next to me...
only the best
wool blankets for my boy~
you'd think I never brushed him
but I do at least twice a day
and he cleans all the time
he's just a rumpled looking sort of fella...
Don't this samples of dyed wool look nice this way?
Makes it so easy to decide which color to dye...
I have misplaced a few of the swatches
and will add them when I find them...
These all came with the dye recipe books when purchased
So worth every penny...
*****
I am in the process
of making my own swatches
from the dye batches of other recipe book
and my own recipes...
I've been dyeing up a storm again this weekend...
more pumpkins, reds
antique browns and blacks, drabs
and dirty snow
The piles of cut wool are taking over
and it's
WONDERFUL

Great idea with the swatches, Kelley! Mine are all in one place, but lots more hunting through them than your method, for sure! I am finishing a small hooked project and then it's on to a big rug (30x58 inches...gulp!). Can't wait to see what you come up with using all the wool you're dyeing!
Good grief, Kelley, you're so organized!! I love the way you've mounted those swatches. But I think I'm in love with Miss Olivia. She's so cute (even in hunting mode) and Chester looks so relaxed as he snoozes. (I've got one of those too...a longhaired cat who always looks rumpled).
Kelley,
Love the swatches and the way you
displayed them. So are you going
to do a dye book(with swatches)
and sell it. If so it will be well
received. HINT HINT.
Love the cats, i just took one to
the rescue place here, she is so
sweet but some one had shaved her
and she weighed in at 3lbs. the
cutest face you have ever seen, i
called about her today and she is
doing good and oh so loving. But
my two would never accept another
cat so couldn't keep her. You would
love her.
