Over Dyed

after a few false starts

the background is nearly finished

Mom has a spot on the wall

in her sewing room picked out

for display

one of the false starts

was the wool on the left

over dyed and not quite

the right shade

looks a little too green

so I dug through all my containers of wool

and found the perfect as-is yardage



hundreds of skeins of light, bright and ugly floss

over dyed with RIT tan dye

and wound on to my frugal spools

(some were gifted to me-some cut from cards I've received)

ready for punching and stitching


Melrose still likes this cozy warm spot


when he's sound asleep Olivia sneaks up


to sniff his paws and tail


poised to run if he wakes up though...
