Fun with RIT dye!
I thought that I'd share with you what some of the dyed clothes look like.
That sweater up there was originally a light gray color. I wore it all the time when I was pregnant and after Cooper was born. I wanted to update it because I realized I don't like light gray with my skin tone and I also wanted something different. That undershirt was originally pink with mauve flowers. Soo not my cup of tea. This was in the pile of- "Let's see what happens when it's dyed!" I am really glad I did it because it brought out a lot of purples that I love.
new obsession: terrariums!
I've been wanting to make some for awhile. I've seen TONS and TONS of images of them on the 'net. I made today "MAKE A TERRARIUM" day. Why did I wait so long to do so?
I found a nice lil tutorial over here at designsponge. It's awesome! I had no idea how easy it was to do.
It took a trip to Home Depot, a stop at IKEA for jar and a trip to Salvation Army to get another container.
Took me about an hour or so to complete all three of them. I got kinda overboard and made another one while Cooper napped.
Take a look!

today we went to the maker faire! Talk about sensory overload. We were standing in line to get food and someone commented "this place is like burning man for nerds"
so many fun things...so many business cards...so many crafty people and buckets and buckets of inspiration!
i almost bought a checkbook cover that had little birds on it...but decided I should really motivate and make my own. The only question is - how long it will take?
this weekend was filled with gardening (new hydrangeas & a meyer lemon tree), deep kitchen cleaning, cappucino drinking, laundry, cat snuggling, and preparing/eating a vietnamese chicken slaw.
time to watch sopranos!
