Hope your health continues to improve.<br /><br />From the description of your dyeing project, I wonder if photos will look prettier or more slimy than I'm imagining.

I went to a dying workshop at guild on Saturday, but we were using artificial dyes. Great fun though and I'm very pleased with the results. Glad you're feeling a bit better, don't do too much too fast though.rahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286220821323080048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-90846826498204169182009-08-18T23:08:34.309+01:002009-08-18T23:08:34.309+01:00Janet - I over did it a bit with the dyeing sessio...Janet - I over did it a bit with the dyeing session!

I'm afraid those that I know that have changed names still go by their old names. Fortunately (good)nurseries still generally use both names.Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-33582484964476138672009-08-17T09:00:31.977+01:002009-08-17T09:00:31.977+01:00I'm so glad you're feeling better, it must...I'm so glad you're feeling better, it must be like being born again!!!!I am so excited by dyeing and am looking at all plants with a different eye. i look forward to your photos.
