New start

 Finally!

WDW Mascara was out of stock at my usual online shops, waited for a back order from the last one.  I don't want GAST unless I can see the skein I'm purchasing, and found info that  WDW Mascara was the closest to black.  I don't have the other called for, prefer this oilcloth color.

Now the fabric choice.  Oh how I hate that.  I have three pieces of Lallybroch that are not the new subdued color, two to be sold.  Can't find those two along with the Creme Brulee piece.  But the one I planned to keep was my choice for this.  Do I really want to cut a 5x7 piece off?  Nope.  So I tried to dye a much more subtle mottling on cream.  

And then I wanted a little more depth of color and ruined it.  Still have the dye mix in my bottle so will try again.  I don't mind ruining cream linen, can always bleach it back to the starting point.

So tonight .... the start.

Hope everyone is doing well.
