Tie Dye Party

Saturday was mostly a recovery and errands day.

Sunday I volunteered to help with coffee during the snack hour, while someone else took care of the Sunday School Coffee, and I was grateful.  It was a busy morning as John was in the service and Jet had a good time with the other kids, and I went to my dream class and got to talk about a few dreams. 

That afternoon was a great tie dye party at our friends' house, and wow it was fun to do and fun to just snack and do a project with Jet and John.  Jet was just all confidence, he knew what he was doing once the shirt was tied.  I tried something new and I'm not sure I like the results but I'll figure that out eventually.  John did a really cool coiled up kind of thing and had some really sharp pleats to it that worked out very nicely.  We tried to help the other families as much as we could, but mostly stayed out of the way and just told folks the minimum they needed to have it work out.

By the time we got home, that night, I was exhausted, but happy.  Then today, I went back over to help with the rinsing and the washing of all the items.  That was a *lot* of work.  Next time, maybe, we should just send everyone home with some of the synthrapol so they can wash the stuff themselves.  But the results were really worth seeing.  It was fun to rinse and untie things and go Ooooooo at how some of them turned out. 

It was quite a lot to do and fun to finish.  The link, above, is to all the pictures I took at the party and afterward.

I'm pretty tired, now, and I still have class tonight. I'm glad I did the homework last Wednesday. Seems that after a few hours in the garden, I really like just sitting and reading.
