Here we are at week 4 of the Feb/Challenge. We got some snow so I decided to do a little snow dyeing. It’s been years! Here is my favorite of the two shirts I dyed. This was using Kingfisher Blue. I’m looking forward to wearing it this summer.

Yesterday I took an all-day online class with Libby Williamson called Scroll Stories. As I mentioned in a previous post I’ve been wanting to take this class for a long time. I was so happy to hear that Craft Napa was going to go online so I’d be able to take the class.
