Good evening from Parent Teacher Conference Week Hell......today was an especially trying day...out of the five conferences I had today, four were for "not good" report cards. Seeing as I've had these students for two years, I have a really good rapport with the parents.....and I had a student have a big meltdown at lunch....and mom is not happy about how it was handled and wants to meet...I have his conference tomorrow....(he is a child with a disability, and I am not in the lunch room during their lunch time)...sigh...tomorrow is another day...only two conferences.....then Thursday...which is night conferences.....next week is Spring Break...it can't get here fast enough......
So haven't done much crafting...but I did do some dyeing! A friend bought sock blanks for us to dye! So I spent a good deal of Saturday dying up some fun!
Getting ready to mix the dye...then we realized there was only one funnel...so I didn't do this part...good, as I couldn't breathe in that thing (and I have a thing about having something covering my nose)
My second one....I don't have a picture of my first and third ones.....
Maureen dying, this was her second one.....
This is Maureen's last one....a gradient...it looked like a sunset...gorgeous!
My first and second blanks, after baking....man it smelled like wet, cooked wool in her house...ewwww!!!!
The bottom one was my first one....it is self stripe and then speckled....let me tell you...I had respect for yarn dyers...and especially self-stripers....but man ALL THE PROPS....cause that is HARD and EXHAUSTING!!!!!!
I'm also participating in two Instagram A-Longs...here is one...come on over and join....
So how about you? What did you work on this week? Please connect back....I know Ginny has discontinued Yarn Along...so if anyone from there wants to play along with us....open invite....
