silk saga part 2

I'm home again and am so ready for bed! Play practice was good. We got everything sorted out so Mom should be able to handle the rest without her trusty deputy. :>

Hey, a smiley. That's a good sign after my day huh? Wow what a day! Actually I’m in a pretty good mood about the whole thing. Nothing truly disastrous happened (yet), it was just much more complicated than it should have been. That is generally my life’s story anyway.

I left the silk in the dye for an hour before rinsing it and hanging it up to dry in Bridget's shower. The silk is party dry and looks pretty good. I'm reserving judgment until I can see it in the daylight and can compare it to the velvet.

I saved the dye bath and threw the twill tape in it before I bolted out the door to the play thingie. When I got back 3 hours later I took the tape out and rinsed it. It turned out dark in color but a rather blah grey green. Should have just bought the black twill tape I guess. Oh well.

I'm off to my bed... if I can make it all the way upstairs...
