yesterday I finally could see the results of the lastest dyebath of eucalyptus (that I had started last Thursday) Linen got very slightly darker than the last one, but silk, people, silk got dark grey, it is so beautiful that I almost cried (ok, I'm a southern girl, I exagerate a teeny tiny little bit !) Silk didn't blood at all, and absorbed so much of the dye, it looks almost metallic & shiny, and I looove the halos/rings/stains it left, I think it makes it even more beautiful ! Here are photos I took (yesterday was rainy & overcast, but I did my best to get decent photos), click them to see way more details (it would make that post way much longer that it already is !)

here I am again, and here's my name! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to post again on CR either today or tomorrow,and will mention your giveaway week.Is that ok? If you'd prefer I didn't, just tell me.
Love, love, LOVE the grey fabrics. What beautiful colours. I'm very into grey with pale pinks and greens and blues at the moment, so your home dyed fabrics appeal to me very much.
I'm wondering what you will make with your new fabrics!
I know, the third month of the year almost gone already. Time goes by too quickly.
xxxx
??? ??? What did you use to dye it? It looks good! What kind of dye..?
ReplyDeleteOh, name's Clare. email is le.paradis.found at gmail dot com. I live in western Canada, and I make plushies and clothing, with drawing on the side.
Oh, I seem to already have asked a question...
Yes, I'd also like to know what you'll make with the lovely grey!
And speaking of grey, how's the weather over there?
Hello, I'm from Hungary. I llike crocheting and paperwork. I'm a teacher and I teach my students for knitting and crocheting recently.
ReplyDeleteMy question is: who was your favourite teacher is school? What was she/he like?
IN school :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Sonia, that warm grey from the eucalyptus is so lovely! I love the floss and the fabric you dyed with it! You know my name and my info... Trying to think of another question for you... What food do you love so much that you would never get sick of eating it over & over again?
ReplyDeleteHugs, L xoxox
PS This giveaway is my favourite! The colours of the trims are fantastic :o)
wow, the fabric looks great. I love the tie-dyed effect. Perhaps the color would be more even if you dyed it in a flat surface?
ReplyDeleteThank you for giveaway day #2! Hmm, have you ever visited Asia?
Oh - lovely lovely :o)
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jacquie and I live in Tasmania, Australia!
I make jewellery - and have an etsy store and have fun selling at markets.
Mmm - I only just discovered this wonderful blog so I don't really know anything about you. I'm following now though :o)
Which blog is your very favourite?
jrodemann@hotmail.com
What pretty colors-and cute mushroom!
ReplyDeleteSorry if you've been asked this uestion before~
What's your favorite fabric to use in your projects?
Hi Sonia! I 'm amazed with the result on these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of natural materials are you planning on using for your next dyeing experiments?
Forgot to leave my e-mail yesterday:
info@createjewelry.gr
oooh what gorgeous giveaways! I will have to stop by the rest of the week too!
ReplyDeletethat lace is making my fingers itch :) i'm also a crafter over at www.sewgorgeous.blogspot.com!
*fingers crossed*
I have a slight crush on toadstools at the minute. So cute. I'm a UK crafter and work under the name crafty jemima. Am off for a wonder around your site now!
ReplyDeleteNerys x
Oh I've just read the part about asking a question - so here it is. If you had to like anywhere other than France, where would you live and why?
ReplyDeleteHello there, I like the toadstools a lot, and the laces...arrgghh!!! I like them all. I am a crafter from California.
ReplyDeleteAnd here is my question: where in Paris can someone buy fabrics?

I do craft myself but not enough and I am working on changing that.
What is kapok?
I am i love with this giveaway!
Thanks for having it!
Happy belated blog birthday! I just stumbled upon your blog and it's really cute, I will definitely be coming back in the future!
ReplyDeleteI live and work full-time in Toronto, Canada, and when I'm not working, I'm baking, sewing, quilting, crocheting, or daydreaming about how to decorate the new house my boyfriend and I just bought.
My question for you is... since I've never been to France myself (or any part of Europe, sad I know), where is the one lesser-known-to-tourists city in France that I absolutely have to visit?
Thank you for the giveaway!!
Hi Sonia, I'm Eli from Italy. I do not know how I came to your blog, but I am really happy to meet you and I've already added you to my blog roll.
ReplyDeleteI'm a designer and painter and I just opened a shop on Etsy. My question is: do you prefer to dye linen or silk? Or other natural fabrics? I have also a second question: do you need hand painted and customized buttons to add to your creations? ;)
If you like to meet me this is my blog.
I have an ongoing give away too.

Thanks for the giveaway!

I just realized that I didn't mention where I was from when I entered the first giveaway--United States. I like to sew--finding the time is another story! I enjoy making clothes for my kids and little things that can be useful around the house or for gifts.
ReplyDeleteHow do you manage to find time for crafting when your kids are about?
~Jenny~
Hello Sonia!
ReplyDeleteDay two - I love it! I told you a bit about me yesterday (not that you have to search back through I just don't want to bore you with repeating myself!) but a little more is that my bday is on Friday and I have a stunningly handsome baby boy who will be 6 months old a week after my bday :)
Okay - question - I love dying fabrics and used to do some basic vegetable dyes (beets were always my favorite and I plan to try your beet/cranberry concoction) but I'm wondering what your all time favorite (so far) is? What natural mixture makes your favorite color?
Amanda
Hello. I'm Shannon from the US (email: shangalonline@gmail.com). I like to try my hands at all sorts of crafts -- home dec, sewing, quilting, crochet, knit, resin jewlery, stained glass... I try to blog about my adventures too at http://princesscraftsalot.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what is your earliest crafting memory that you can remember?
Amanda from Canada again. I do craft (Ulixis Crafts).
ReplyDeletequestion: where do you find all your amazing fabric notions?
Hello again
ReplyDeleteI am Erika from Houston, USA.
My question today is what part of crafting do you enjoy the most?? I like the whole process but I really enjoy designing and sketching.
Happy Tuesday!!
Hello! What a great giveaway. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm Laura from Toronto, Canada. I think about crafting more than I craft but I do crochet and knit, can sew (but don't much), and am determined to learn to needle felt this year. I'm lshin116 at hotmaildotcom
My question: Do you have a favourite dye plant?
I am on the East Coast in the US. I love to knit and sew although I am such a beginner. My blog is called LittleBird. It should be linked below. My email is theveths2000@yahoo.com and my question for you is what do you grow in your garden?
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Louise from the UK. I'll have a go at any old craft, really - jack of all trades and master of none!
ReplyDeleteYour grey silk looks wonderful. I was wondering, what is the worst-smelling think you have used to dye fabric? I remember my mum using onion skins once and that was pretty stinky. x
chocolate_coated_raisin@hotmail.com
The results of the eucalyptus's work are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteHave you used a batch of oak leaves? I used it in clay and wood and get a beautiful brown color.
I joined the new giveaway, of course :)
Hugs, meni

hi, i am silvia from Italy (blog: filiecolori.blogspot.com).
ReplyDeleteI try also with the second, I hope to have understood.
question: you have come in Italy?
Sonia I love that grey ! You know all my answers so here's a question:
ReplyDeleteIf you were locked in a room for a week with no way out, what colour would you want it to be painted? Okay here's a second question, if there was one window in the room, what would you like your view to be?
It's late, I'm silliness ensues.
Night-night
oops, meant to insert "tired," after "I'm" in the second to last line, see - tired!
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Lisa. I make woolly stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy question is... who is your favorite crafter from Brainerd, Minnesota?
:D
I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I typically read your blog in Google Reader. When I stop by to the real thing, I'm always delighted with how it looks. I LOVE the new header!
ReplyDeleteAnother question for you: If you could only do one type of craft for the rest of your life, what would it be?
(Hugs from me...Mollie!)
Hi sonia!
ReplyDeleteIt's me, Donna . .kindredcrafters (at) gmail (dot) com - you've shipped goods to me before so you might know i live in Canada!
I'm a quilter but I haven't had much time lately AND we just put an offer in on a house tonight which means we may be listing our own which means NO sewing for months, I am guessing . .
I wonder how you make the time for sewing . .I would love to try and do something every day ...but so many nights I don't have the focus or the energy!
Hugs
Gorgeous colours in today's giveaway (and the little shroomy...so cute!!). Please enter my name :o)
ReplyDeleteYou know that I live in Canada and that I love *thinking* about crafting even if I don't get much time in real life to actually do it right now. My go to project at the moment is making fabric and tissue paper flowers (not as gorgeous as Sadie's by a long shot!!) for giftwrapping extras. They are easy and fun and take less than 1/2 an hour ;o)
I'm loving pinks and browns/taupes right now~ I think it is the influence of having a little girl :o)
So WOW about the colour of the silk dyed in eucalyptus! I absolutely love it. That almost metallic look....*such* an amazing result. I've learned so much about plant based dyes from watching your tries at it. It really puts artificial colours to shame.
My question for you...hmmm....how do you find time to craft with the boys now that they're in school?? (it's my own personal struggle right now as I try and carve out time with my kids...especially the big one who now has homework every night). Take care and lots of hugs to you. xoxo
I think you know what crafts, I do... but I do a little of everything!
ReplyDeleteU.S.
Question - Where did you learn such amazing English and why did you decide to blog in English instead of French?
Hi
ReplyDeleteI live in Holland. I like to sew, things like the Tilda-stuff, clothes and general things for the house.I also like to create things from paper and cardboard like 3D filled frames .
Do you know a pattern for a kids suitcase made of fabric, closed with a zip...?
i have a question- since i dont know you very well: what is your favorite craft? and how did you find it in your life?
ReplyDeleteTrop bonne idée, les pinces à linge pour éviter les embrouillaminis de fils !
ReplyDeleteJe découvre votre site, les photos sont sublimes, bravo !
Isac
Lovely giveaway - where do you find these adorable cookie cutter.
ReplyDeleteThose colors turned out very nice.
ReplyDeleteI always want to try my hand in dying things,wool and such, but don't get around to it.
I'm original from Germany,lived 15 years in Canada and we are currently for another year in Florida, before moving back to Canada!
I make Waldorf inspired dolls and toys and have more ideas for things to make then I will ever have time for :0)
My question: What material do like to work with most?
Have a wonderful day!

Hi I'm Christy!
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful pics on your blog, and reading your blog in general. I can't remember where I found it in my wanderings but its among my daily blog visits now. :0)
My question for you is: Did you go to school for art/photography or are you self taught?
I make old fashioned handmade stuffed friends from repurposed natural materials. Our store is called The Craggy Moor.

I just had to enter this drawing because I dearly love earthtones, AND I'm in love with the little mushroom cookie cutter! It's adorable and original.
Take care and I'll "see" you tomorrow! :0D
The grey together with the eucalyptus is beautiful Sonia, and the contrast with the white...beautiful.
