Dyeing and Destashing

my dyeing from the past week or so

I did a batch or two every day before work

more wool soaking for later today

it's hard for me to do lights and mediums

I'd like to dye them all dark, rich colors

sold my stash of Valdani floss

as well as 22 vintage spools 

wound with DMC black floss

little by little 

I will pare my belongings down to

"just enough"

Hope you're having a great day!

 

Combined Sewing Room

as I take more and more

of my belongings to Mom's house

she may be seeing an

upside to our sharing

a sewing room

(used to be her bedroom/sewing room)

I was in the back room

when she noticed a tiny small portion

(20-30 balls)

of my Valdani pearl cotton collection

immediately she picked it up

and said

"I'll just take this to my sewing room"

the look on her face

tone of her voice

will be with me always

she is beyond delighted

to have such access to wool and thread

I've found giving her tasks

help her find a purpose

today she made baked beans

and deviled eggs

to share with Dad tomorrow

otherwise known as

"now who is that man we go visit"

Dad is much happier in his new room

his other rooms

were at the end of a hall

this one is in a busy area

no more feeling lonesome

all the little things

have made this a wonderful day
