Last Saturday I went to a workshop by one of the members of my spinning circle. She taught us how to dye with indigo and it was such a lovely afternoon with great results!
What I appreciated most was that all five women had a skill they were happy to share with others: dyeing, pinning, wine making, making samosas and, in my case, making herbal remedies. There was a beautiful wild garden with many herbs and dye plants and I got a cooking pan that can serve as a dye pot. I'm not sure if I can think of a better way to spend the afternoon :)
I always love it when people come together with skills to share. It seems less like a classroom and more like old friends helping each other out. I belong to a couple of homemaker clubs and we have such a good time working with each other. Thanks for the reminder of how we are better together.
