  2. Hi Michelle, great to see you back in action on Blogger. I love your dyed pieces. You obviously had great primary colours to get these glorious mixes. I love doing this type of dyeing, so rewarding. Have a great time with your online course, and I must also say how cute the little purse booklet is. Hope the weather is not to nasty. Cheers.
