before the First SleepOver,  i searched for something i could sleep in.   Nights have stayed in 70's.  Emrie's body generates heat.  I am used to sleeping naked.   I'd found this…just white cotton,   household cotton as Jude would call it.   In that bag of stuff i never wear but can't seem to let go  of.     the feel of a dishtowel.  Lightweight and oversized.  Had never used it.   Don't know any history.  Perfect.    a while after that,  i wanted to mark it with Walnut and found the jar with 3 year old  walnut sludge.  Who knows,  why not try.  The walnut was spent.    I thought it was a fail….no complex marks so i just dropped  it wet,  in a wad  into the copper tub and left it there.    it dried up.   Thursday is Second SleepOver.    this eve i  put it in the laundry bucket,  had no laundry soap so used shampoo and washed,  rinsed rinsed rinsed.   

i like it very much.   It's the color of Everything Here Now.  The color of our SleepOvers.    The marks are of the feeling last night of being animal.   Will wait till morning to really look at the marks when it's dry.   at the right shoulder seam there is an interesting one covered here by the clothespin.     will  hem it tomorrow.
