LOL. If only they didn't lie, I'd have enough to pay for my new HVAC compressor and then some!! What are we up to now?
$5000 DOGE
$2500 Tariffs
$2000 from this
________
$9500
- 2900 compressor
________
$6600 to put in savings

That makes the $30/month SSI increase tolerable. 🤣😂🤣
Please send now!

Just found out what it will cost to get my HVAC repaired. Well, I found out an hour ago. I just started breathing again. $2,900! I'm still in shock. Also, my truck won't start. All this after my coffee maker quit working and my microwave died. I give up. #makeitstop

I splurged on a nice pet bed for Pumpkin. 🤦‍♀️ #catsofbluesky #cats #mycatiscuterthanyours
Maybe she'll use it eventually.

My 7 y/o #cat, Pumpkin, has never been a TV watcher. Today, as she was resting on my lap, the TV caught her attention and confounded the heck out of her. She found it quite disturbing. Poor baby. 😂 😺

The experimentation is just so much fun! My new indoor indigo vat is perfect.

Woohoo. This purple is awesome!! The only question is how lightfast it is. The color is so dreamy. You can't really tell from these photos. Also, it's not dry yet so it will be lighter. #logwood #naturaldye #botanicalcolors #botanicalart

New pieces this week.

My experience with #madder root for dyeing has been less than satisfying. That's okay though. Live and learn. #botanicalart #naturaldye #botanical

These two 48x48 paintings at Lorrie Lane Studio are like being bearhugged by a forest. And now, they're framed!

I probably could have tried to do it myself, but I also could have made it worse. And it wouldn't look as nice. 😁

Two indigo pieces this weekend. Also, I washed all of my #sappanwood pinks and reds in the washing machine (on delicate) and they came out great. 👏👏👏

Two new pieces today. I'm quite pleased with both. #botanicalart #botanical #sappanwood #naturaldye

These are all from my original #sappanwood dye pot, pulled out at different times over the past 24 hours. I love all the colors. #botanicalart

This weekend's dyeings. Time to figure out what I want to do with my new colors.

What will we do?

This was a white shirt until I dyed it with #goldenrod plants last month. Tonight, I overdyed it with #indigo, 4 dips. It will be lighter when dry and after I wash it again, but so far, I love it. #naturaldye #botanicalcolors #botanicals

Two goldenrod over-dyed in indigo. I love it. (And one just indigo.) #botanicaldyes #natural
