You made me laugh with your comment that your link was "What you shouldn't attempt to do when it is already done so well!" Perhaps that is so, but at least you tried, and by the way I think the eggs look lovely. Thanks so much for linking. I hope you'll consider joining in again (next week's theme is "rocks"). It is nice to "meet" you!

I think we've all wanted to try! And you know, I think if we could take one project and do the one thing, then it would be so overwhelming, but with 3 kids, it's never like that ~ there's 22 things going on at any given time.

The smell must have been horrendous. What an experience though! You have done something so many others have not. Maybe it was because someone told them it was really a lot of work, stunk to high heaven and didn't yield good results. But, none the less, you have joined an elite group of those that have been there done that. Oh my gosh. The smell must have been horrendous. What an experience though!

I then came to my senses and bought 2 dye kits from the junk store. You can paint with them too! I read the Martha Stewart thing on natural dyeing, even bookmarked it .

But I actually really like the pastel colors. I can see why little ones might want the "brighter" box colors though. But I am impressed! Wow, that does sound like a lot of work.

I'm normally a "make too much work for myself" kind of gal too, but I don't think I'd ever take on natural dyes! :) I wanted to drop a link by for you: http://www.unplugyourkids.com/2008/03/16/wood-weekly-unplugged-project/ The website www.unplugyourkids.com has a weekly "themed" project to do with your kids. Last week's theme was wood, so then you go do any activity that has to do with wood, and then everyone links to her website. This week's theme is "eggs" - I think everyone would be impressed with your dying technique. :) ****************Thanks so much for the link!! I will try to post there. Kristen Happy Easter!
