Sleep, Glorious Sleep

Wow, I can't believe how tired I am today. I'm totally wiped! I think all that work and sunshine from the weekend totally wore me out. I slept through the night last night and that is almost totally unheard of. then this morning I got up and started working on the PCSW newsletter and then I went to shower but the bed looked so darn soft and comfortable that before I really knew it, I was in it's grips and dozing peacefully. I woke at 12:52 p.m. Half the day was gone and I could still sleep. I guess I wore myself out more than I thought.

One of the ladies who attended the retreat sent me these pictures from her camera today.... so I thought I would post them here...


The last of the level 4 dyeing.... these were my percentage dyeing samples....

LS had prepped white buffalo pencil rovings for teaching kids to spin on a drop spindle.... these were the samples that she was going to hand out to the kids for spinning.... then she gave one to me to try which I have partially spun.... mine is the second one from the right.....

NC working on her spinning....

FE working on card weaving.....

This was the colour wheel dyeing that MW and I were doing on Saturday....

MF who arrived at 1:10 a.m. in the morning so that she could sit and spin on my deck.....

LS getting silk singles prepped and ready for dyeing so that she can weave a silk scarf....

Missing are pictures of MW, KK, and myself....

What a blast! I just can't get enough of looking at all that fibre that was dyed. Now if I could only dictate what I dream about.. well... you know what it would be... all those divine colours..... Hmm... maybe I should give it a try.... then I can sleep and think about all that fun at the same time.... who says you can't kill twp birds with one stone..... : )
