After seeing many DIYs on natural dyeing on Pinterest and various blogs I follow, I came across Chelsey's post about natural dyes. For some reason, I decided at that point that I would try it. I don't know if it was because I already had all of the ingredients mentioned in the blog or it was the gorgeous lamp shade that she made. Either way, I decided to go for it. Although I'm not a big fan of ombre, I knew I could have fun with dyeing my fabric a solid color. The link to the instructions are here at Chelsey's blog the Paper Mama. Here is some photographic evidence of my adventures:

| turmeric soup |

| the turmeric onesie |
 |
| boiling the tea towel, pre-dye |
 |
| tea towel, post-dye |
I've been very impressed with the vibrant color that comes out of this dyeing process. Way to go, Mother Nature!
One of these days I will post "real" photos again, but I cannot promise when. I have been loving Instagram a whole lot lately.
