We dyed eggs last week, a bit early for Easter, but we'll do more closer to the holiday.
And while we had the dye out, we had a great idea to dye lace too.
After Easter last year, I bought a few boxes of Paas for 10 cents each, figuring that stuff is fine to save till the next year. Well, it's not. We had to grind the tablets up, we couldn't get them to disolve. And the colors never really took off, they stayed pastel. Which is fine for me, but Sugarwings like a blast of color in everything she does.
We'll buy some fresher dye for more eggs later on, but this batch was excellent for making ribbons to hang plastic eggs from.
And Joy Joy Angel Joy Nathan thinks that makes the best cat toys she has ever seen.
I wonder how many will still be hung from the tree by the time Easter arrives?
Chances are they will be all over the farm. Dew drop has already plucked the few within her reach.
But there is no way that Dewdrop and Joy Joy can reach them all. We have some pretty high up there.
Oh, that’s a great idea… The memories you are making with those girls! Happy Easter!
Good idea on dying the lace. Bad ness about the Paas. I have a couple of boxes of old Paas from last year. maybe I’ll do the same and dye if they aren’t going to be great on the eggs. Annual egg dying is Friday night, but having a crafty day tomorrow to make nests and peat pots. Maybe I’ll whip out a bit of paas today to prep for it!
I was pretty surprised that the dye wouldnt last the year, Jeanie. Good luck with yours!
