That's The Way Uh Huh Uh Huh, I Like It Uh Huh Uh Huh

Yep great day today. Finally have that 25 shades of Logwood dyeing done. Well, almost. I didn't quite finish the modifiers. Will finish up in the morning when it is cooler. Right not I am wasted. I have been up since 4:30 a.m. Last night we watched the scariest movie ever with Daniel Radcliffe called The Lady In Black. Freakin' scared us silly. I went to bed and slept ok because I can kind of put stuff like that out of my head but Daughter #2 is not used to such movies. When I woke up at 4:30 a.m. Daughter #2 was sitting up in her bed with her lights on and she was white as the sheet she was lying on. I think she was scared poop free.  Poor kid never got to sllep until the sun had come up.

I started skeining yarn at that unGodly hour and didn't quite have it finished when my dyeing partner showed up at shortly after 9 a.m. We worked like daemons all day and it was one of those hot summer days that are almost unbearably hot. +41 degrees C in the sun on my deck at one point today... My dyeing partner left at 5:30 this afternoon at which time Daughter #2 and I jumped into our swimsuits and went for a dip in our local outdoor pool. Nice! Home for a couple of movies and to be honest I'm not staying on long since I am so pooped out that I can hardly think straight. A good night sleep is desperately needed for both of us and believe me that won't be long in coming.  My hands have black all over the tips of my fingers because of dipping my hands in the logwood dye bath. Too bad I couldn't have had the wax needed for a henna job 'cause this might have worked just as well.  I'll try to post a few pics of my dyeing tomorrow as I will get it finished early in the morning if it is cool enough.

This is the kind of day I like.... and I hardly thought about Sir Arsewipe at all... damn... I just thought of him... curse it.

Thanks Barbara, now I can't get the song out of my head, lol.

Can't wait to see your yarn pics! May stop in for a visit to ogle your yarn tomorrow afternoon as I have to make a run to Pro for chicken feed. c

Yup... Come by for an iced mocha and an ogle at wool is always good.
