I am getting coy now- no more pictures of the progress on 72 MORE Ways- you shall have to wait for the book! But whilst I haven't progressed as fast as I had planned- it will be available in book form next week!
Progress has been impeded due to the fact that I have had to move things from my studio/shed as a certain person disconnected the power that used to run from the old house ( and for which I was willing to pay- it kind of blew the wind out of my sails ). The matter is complicated by the fact that the table at which I work is very heavy ( stops the machine vibrating) but there is no way it will fit in my Micra, and I have to admit it is amazing what I can actually fit in the Micra- and so I have had to resort to a small computer desk- and that is really uncomfortable to sew at. MY ability to dye has also become complicated- I will think on it in the next week or so when I have finished 72 MORE Ways.
So the photo is of some of the muslin fabric I have dyed it the past. This is true muslin- light weight and delightful to sew. It is what I used for my Travellers' Blanket. It is for sale at $35US a piece ( including shipping)- the width is 40 inches by 45 inches long except the orange and black piece which is a bit smaller but has had an extra process applied to it.
Ohhh and during the night my 200.000th visitor attended my blog- the reader is from Budapest in Hungary, please make yourself known to me and I shall send you a little surprise. Thank you one and all to my faithful readers- I have been despairing the last month because I haven't been able to write as much as I normally do when I am not travelling, but life got in the way and the lack of internet connection didn't help!

Dijanne, I don't know whether it was me or someone else, but I am certainly a "follower" of yours, and did check it out a few hours ago. In the past months, I have actually felt deprived due to few posts you have made.
Hi Dijanne, I left an 'anonymous' comment about a week ago, when I was at my daughter's. I am finding this blogging business all very fascinating and addictive, albeit time consuming. Hopefully, it will settle into a more manageable activity in the future.
It is all quite voyeuristic, isn't it? Peeking into other people's lives.
Anyway, hope to stay in contact.
Hi Dijanne,
When coming home after a trip I've read your blog. Glad to read you're thinking about a on-line workshop on lino-printing.
Do you still have two pieces of the muslin for me??
Not the orange/black one.'
Hope to hear from you.

Hi Dijanne - I am one of your many faithful readers. I so enjoy the pictures of your art but I truly love the way you share many of your techniques and trials. And I appreciate the way you share of yourself. Your writing is so engaging. I thank you for taking the time and effort to blog.
I'm not the Hungarian one, I'm afraid. My blog reading has been so sporadic lately but I try to make up for it when I get time. Some big changes happening for me (in my day job, not the exciting stuff) and not for good reasons either - I expect to be "on holiday" (translation=not working) over the summer.
