June 24th 2015 - Dying

Not me,i'm fine apart from hayfever which the meds are doing nothing for. I'm dying fabric, well clothes and tea towels.

I bought a pair of 3/4 trousers off ebay, they were a lilac with deep pink stripe and slightly faded in places -

I had 3 pairs of white trainer socks in my drawer (came as part of pack with black ones).  I've not worn white socks since I was at school and that was for PE!  So they have been sat in the drawer not doing much.  I also have about 5 t-towels that were white with purple but now look a pale grey with lilac so I have chucked them all in the machine with the dylon violet dye.  Fingers ccrossed they all take and look as good as my blue curtains did a few months ago when I dyed them.

January 3rd 2015 - Happy Birthday to me......

January 3rd 2015 - My Birthday

 EVEN google knows its my birthday today as it has cakes and candles on it!!!

I have opened my presents, and the cake is cooking, the drinks will flow later with hubby and a friend.

For todays pin I picked a purple ombre layer cake off pinterest, now I know mine wont be as good as the original purple ombre cake see link, but it is what gave me the idea.  See my pics later once its cooked, iced and then cut.

 

Here is the cake uncut, 3 different colour layers. I dont dare add more buttercream to cover the outside as there is loads between each layer!  cant wait for a slice after lunch.
