Do you remember dying Easter Eggs? We did dye eggs. I was the oldest so l helped my mom get ready. The thing I remember most is the dye was added to hot water and vinegar. Ooh the smell!
Did you have the crayon to premark them? I remember having the marking crayon that acted as a resist to the dye, but I remember this when I was a young mother and my daughter loved making the words or designs show up like magic.
What did you do with them? As a child, and the oldest, I always hid the eggs and my sister and brother hunted for them. As parents, the dad hid the eggs so the kid could look for them. I often had to remind him not to put them too high. There was frequently snow on the ground so the egg hunt happened in the house.
Do your mom, or the other kids,
We have had a nice couple of days this week. The trees are budding out in the yard. I still haven’t seen flowers, but to be truthful, my yard doesn’t have perennials. But my Holiday Cactus decided to make one bloom!



That vinegar smell is something I remember from dyeing eggs, too! Your mushroom coffee sounds... interesting?! 😊 Can't wait to see your quilted SAHRR - the quilting looks beautiful. Enjoy sewing the binding today!
ReplyDeleteI have also thought about trying the mushroom coffee. Just haven't gotten around to it yet though.

I drink Mushroom Coffee if I want a second cup some days...what I mean is I'm a bit sensitive to real coffee so the Mushroom blend works well for that. Meanwhile, that backing fabric is so vibrant and those quilting lines beautiful.
