Frozen Webs

 These spiders could do with insulating their homes....

Even though we are very cold today and more snow is forecast there are plenty of signs that Spring is on the way...
Today I'm staying indoors and tending DH and the fire.  I've borrowed an idea from Angela and have a bowl of eco-dyeing sitting on top of the woodburner.  It's the last of the poinsettia flowers and leaves, a little remnant of Christmas infused into cloth.  It currently looks like a large fabric bruise but I'll wait and see.
Keep warm (or cool if you're in the Southern Hemisphere) and have a great weekend.

    imagine the strength of those webs to hold all that ice! I hope the resident was taking a holiday in some warmer place. Rotting bananas stain cloth too but I din't know what I would make of it.

    Great photos Lis. I will be showing you eco-dyeing on the tour as part of extra activity. I think your is looking good already. Dyed fabric goes well with indigo! Hugs Nat

    I love the frozen cowebs, they look like lace.
    I am very curious about ecodyeing, I wish I still had my Aga in order to experiment with long hours of slow heating. Now I do short times in a pressure cooker...for food too!
