Not much happening at the moment in the allotment... however it does need a good tidy... lots of dead foliage... but every things is too wet at the moment... though I do have a lot of seeds that need to be stored away for the winter... I have far too many so once I've sorted them out I'll offer a few packs here...
some blogs I follow on natural dyeing...
Jenny Dean's Wild Colour http://www.jennydean.co.uk/wordpress/
Wild Colour by Jenny Dean is one of the best contemporary guides to the art of vegetal dyeing. The goal of the this page on face book is to show the publisher that there is a fan base for the book that justifies a new printing.

Tricia, I saw you on the HEN site and was so happy to find you here as well. I would love to be in touch with you about your dyeing process……I have been experimenting as well with dyeing the threads for my work. I live in the desert and have been researching native American dyeing techniques, and taking walks to harvest what I think might work. Your site is lovely so far, and I look forward to seeing more. You can find me at studiowasabi.wordpress.com……….happy new year, Linda
Happy New Year to you too Linda… I’d love to ‘talk’ more about dyeing… off to checkout your blog…
