Stormy Afternoon Fun!

Well the weather here was SO crazy today. We had 2 tornados touch down, and between the rain and ridiculous winds, the sun was shining. So strange!

As long as Mother Nature couldn't make up her mind, I decided I was going to dye some wool. The Girl wanted Grandma's Lilac Bush, so purple and green was on the menu. Of course the kids were all about the help, so we used some Mix-ade to dye with today.

I think the green could use an overdyeing with some Jacquard Emerald, but she likes it just the way it is, so that's how it will stay. Here is our inspiration...

This wool has already been spoken for too... Seems this fiber is destined to be a pair of legwarmers for The Girl.

Tornados, wild - I have newer seen a tornado, only on tv... Scarry I think - Glad that you are okay...
Love the yarn, makes me think of a summer garden.
