Great job on the dying. The thing is, even if you could buy the same thing exactly at the store, it wasn't made by you. We don't make clothes, quilts, crafts, or dye fabric because we can't get it elsewhere, and its not always cheaper to do it ourselves. But the satisfaction you get by doing it yourself is priceless. People don't understand that part. I'm making clothes for my grand daughters birthday right now but I have to admit I bought her an outfit, It was a 3 piece sweater, top and pants, it was only 7.00 and I loved it so I bought it. I put a label in the kids clothes that says GGBABZ, that's what I call my gandbabies, Gi Gi babies, They love seeing the labels and think its great that these things were made by me. That's what makes me want to create more, because of the satisfaction it brings to me and those that I love. Keep up the great work. You know you can use crushed ice instead of snow. I'm getting ready to get back into dying on silk for some upcoming garments and I want to try the ice. We've only gotten one snow here, which is great for me but point is, I can't rely on snow for anything.
