:: Curious Cotton- a Second Dose ::

And so, because you're curious...


You remember I decided to wash this cotton from out of the back of the settee
if not...just click that link up there ^
-before-

-during-

Rinsing the cotton batting. 

 Wringing the cotton (actually that is a rolling pin) 


Drying it in the HOT TEXAS SUN!!! 
105° that day. 

-after-
At this point it is dried and pretty thin...
but it isn't ORANGE. 
...and it smells good!

** much shorter!!  @__@

What is next for this cotton?
Well...I'm hopefully, going to fluff it put it back into layers (stay tuned for the next installment of washing cotton and the "sitting- on- the- edge- of- your- seat- and-ever-so- intense- video -series" ); and then put it back into the settee before too long!

Thanks so much for following along... and for the record...
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EITHER..!!! (Suzan) ;)

(I must give credit to the resident 4 year old Ms. Bree...for all photos with Oma handling the cotton...SHE DID NOT INHERIT MY BAD PHOTOGRAPHY GENE.)

Great photographer! The before picture made me think of a dead body. LOL. Hope it fluffs up well! Ann

Wow, that's quite a color difference! So what was the "squeaking" in the background of your video? One of your hens? You should have seen my Coonhound cock her head at that!

Wonderful video! I love to hear people talk, you don't have a heavy Texas accent like some people I know.
