Life is so unpredictable

and mine was thrown a curve I didn't see coming Sunday two weeks ago.  On April 21 when I had planned to spend the day in the garage preparing to test dye some one yard cuts of several pieces of muslin I  brought from Joann Fabrics on Saturday .  But I never got to do that.  Instead, my daughter Lyn died unexpectedly that Sunday morning and then I was hospitalized with a heart attack brought on by the shock of her death.  I am sad, but my heart is healing from both the grief and the heart attack.

In my last post I said I would not talk about the house again, but I will tell you what I have done as far as getting back to creating, which my daughter Lyn strongly supported.

The sink is in.   As it turns out my grandson Josh is a very handy person who reads instructions, follows them  and has a perfectionist streak, so you know when he does it, it will be done right.  So not only can he install ceiling fans, and light fixtures, he can put do-it-yourself furniture together and now, a sink in the garage.  No plumber was needed after all.

All the restaurant type metal sinks I wanted were too long for the space I have so this sink from the Home Depot so far is working very well.  I have installed some shelves (rather Josh did) on both sides of the sink, over the sink a dry erase board for notes and I have a small refrigerator  to keep  the dye solution in and a few bottles of water. 

This looks a mess, but I just finished dyeing some fabric that is in the washing machine.  I am waiting  for the rinse cycle to stop.  I am anxious to see how well the beached and unbleached muslin   from Joann Fabrics took the dyes.   
Here is my dye area, Yes it is a mess.  I will let you see an image of the dye area when I have neatened it up a bit.
Oh, yes, Justin the middle grandson, installed two 4 bulb shop light with day light bulb to go with the one two bulb fixture that was already in the garage.  So now  with ten - four foot bulb turned on I can work late into the night if I want to and it's like high noon in that area of the garage.
