Madder Root Class
I have changed the opening date to the Mad at About Madder Root Class to June 3rd as many of you won't be able to join the class until after that time. I am looking forward to the class! For those of you that don't want to sign up for the class I am creating a bundle that can be purchased through my website, the cost of that bundle will be higher than the class.

In Today's Email!!!
It's emails like this one that make really make my day, my week actually!!!Dear Kimberley:
I downloaded the 4 book e-package last night. Just wanted to thank you and let you know that the process worked very smoothly. The download went without a hitch – even on my sometimes glitchy laptop. The books look very professional and crammed with great information. Now to find time to read and learn!
Best wishes,
Jenny
Thank you so much Jenny for your kind words! I can't wait to see what your results!!!
Jenny has been rust dyeing some already, check out her work on her blog sevengablehouseart

the jar has now been from hertfordshire to east sussex and yorkshire - if i don't get any colour out of the stuff it will had least have travelled :-)
