Thanks Crystal! This sweet little pair will live in my studio and keep me company while I work.<\/p>\n<p>Several people asked me about the dyes I use. Firstly let me say that I am no dyeing expert. I am pretty bad at it and almost always end up with splotchy fabric&#8230; well unless that is what I want. Then I get a solid color. I know this going into the project so I try not to be too focused on a perfect result. I use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wcushing.com\/\">Cushing dyes<\/a>&#8211; an acid dye for wool.<\/p>\n<p>Other stuff I&#8217;ve been doing.<\/p>\n<p>It was a sad day today- after listening to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencefriday.com\/\">Science Friday<\/a> and watching the video, I knew that my tomatoes were infected with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nysipm.cornell.edu\/publications\/blight\/\">late blight<\/a>. I pulled them all up today. Ah well, I got a pretty good crop and will look forward to next year.<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, I redid the faces on two dolls- ones that many commenters said looked sad. At the time (last month), I couldn&#8217;t really see it. Now, with fresh eyes, I decided I needed to change them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2040\" style=\"width: 229px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2040\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2040  \" title=\"oldface2\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/oldface2.jpg\" alt=\"oldface2\" width=\"219\" height=\"293\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Old Face<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2039\" style=\"width: 230px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2039\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2039  \" title=\"newface2\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/newface2.jpg\" alt=\"newface2\" width=\"220\" height=\"165\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2039\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New Face<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2038\" style=\"width: 230px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2038\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2038  \" title=\"oldface1\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/oldface1.jpg\" alt=\"oldface1\" width=\"220\" height=\"187\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Old Face<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2037\" style=\"width: 230px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2037\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2037  \" title=\"face\" src=\"https:\/\/mimikirchner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/face.jpg\" alt=\"face\" width=\"220\" height=\"165\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2037\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New Face<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>woohoo!
