I'm taking weaving again. It started Tuesday, but I was in again tonight to dye some fabric pieces I'm going to use in my project. (I'm making a rag rug for my parents. I have some blue fingers to prove it.) I thought that I wasn't going to be very long. I got there at five and didn't leave until the Cultural Arts Center closed at ten. I really should have known better. I left my fabric sitting in dye. Hopefully I'll like the colors when I go back to clean them.
I need to remember the following, so as to survive my weaving class. One: I need to bring a proper dinner or I will eat too many of the sweets that are always lying around. Two: I need to bring my water bottle to class. The weaving studio sucks the moisture out of you. Three: I need to remember not to stick my hands into water with either soda ash, dye, or both. The soda ash dries out my skin and the dye changes its color.
I had a quick dinner when I got home of an apple sliced and smeared with peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon. And a mug of chamomile full of honey, followed by a shot of apple cider vinegar. I have been keeping a cold at bay, but I'm sure that the temperature fluctuations this weekend will lose me the ground I've gained on it.
I need to be up early tomorrow morning for a conference, which I am not looking forward to, as waking up continues to be hard. (I am okay with the cold, but miss the morning sun.) I should have gone to bed an hour ago when I got home. Where does the day go? Anyway, hello! Sorry it's been a week. I just got some film back from the holidays. I'll share some photos soon.
