I am interested in learning to dye my homespun wool with natural dyes. One of my flower beds has been overtaken by birdsfoot trefoil. I can find off hand remarks online about dying with it, but no instructions or cautions (irritant, toxic). Is it safe to dye with? What kind of colors does it produce? Is it lightfast? What am I not considering?
Thanks.
Work will be taking me to NYC in a couple of weeks. In an ideal world, the workday would end at 5:00, and I could buy a ticket to a show ahead of time. However, I know my job and that doesn't always happen. Is there any way to buy a ticket the evening of a show? Everything I can find online considers morning of to be last minute. I am not super picky about the show as long as it is a musical.
Edit: thanks for the comments everyone. It looks like I will just walk around after work and stop at the box offices that look interesting. Hopefully the fact that I am there on weeknights works in my favor.
I travel for work, and grow less impressed by Hilton each year, so I am looking for a new status program. I have heard that the IHG hotels in Europe tend to be amazing, and because we like to vacation there, I thought I would check it out. However, I have concerns about when I would start earning rewards. Am I reading this correctly that I wouldn't even start earning points until I stay at least 10 nights? Or is it that they start applying a multiplier after 10 nights?
I have a formal evening wedding at a very bougie country club to go to this fall. The dress below fits beautifully and makes me feel elegant. The problem is that even with my broad shoulders, the chiffon portrait collar slips a bit and shows my bra strap. Is there anything I can do or sew into the shoulders to keep them from slipping? I would rather wear my second choice dress than search for a special bra in my size.
Edit: Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. It looks like I need to take a trip to Michaels.
I am in the midcoast area of Maine this week, and it is cold and rainy. Does anyone have any wool sellers in the area they can recommend who are open on Fridays? I would like to pick up some roving from something besides merino or alpaca.
