Last weekend was mad dogs at our house. Ruth and I did 30 different colors out on one dye pot of madder. That was a lot of fun. We also did some indigo dyeing that came out really neat. We took some screws and wrapped them in the fabric with some thread this gave a star burst effect. I also played with some folding the fabric to get a pattern.
Jamie did a forge building class.

On Saturday Ruth and I went to Inwood IA to look at some papyon puppies. I was not impressed with the breeder and the dogs where smaller than what I wanted. Today I went to look at some Brittany Spaniels I fell in love with a girl, I paid for her but will not be able to pick her up till after WW (SCA event that is next Thursday through Sunday in Wisconsin). I don’t have a name for her yet and I should have take some pictures with my camera phone. (I just thought of that as I was typing) I will be getting the kittens this week. I have two cats that I will be getting from one of Ruth’s co-workers. They are outdoor cats to help with the mouse population. I just have to convince the cats to go after only the mice and not the ground squirrels and birds. I think this is the month for pets.
