Well I meant to post this yesterday, but I hope everyone had a
H A P P Y E A S T E R !!!
Andy and I colored eggs using natural dyes made from red cabbage (blue) and turmeric (yellow). We picked leaves from our yard and put one on each egg, wrapping the egg in a pair of nylons before putting them in the dye. We let them sit for several hours (while we went to a party!) to let the colors get nice and deep. They aren't perfect, but I like the way they turned out, especially the yellow ones. The blue seeped under the leaves, so those didn't really turn out. Even not perfect, we had a great time doing it, and that's all that really matters!!
By the way, my grandma embroidered this blue tablecloth when she was a little girl. I love it so much.
