Your template looks beautiful, especially the picture of the window. Maybe an idea for your dying adventure. Gerdiary has a nice post with avocado skins.
Have a fantastic week.

Thanks for starting my Monday off right! I appreciate this post so much!!
The black bean dyed linen peeked my interest and I was eating some while I read!
The new layout looks wonderful. I'm still trying to get my nerve up to have a look around and play with the new layout operations-- I mean "design" options since Blogger changed the too.
Have a wonderful week. It sure looks like it started off lovely!
It sounds as if you were sharing the same weather as I was experiencing here in Alaska for the same duration. But while it was raining we painted the entire downstairs. I love that! and that my son came out to work on it with me. Now the sun has returned and my house is back in order and I can get sufficiently grounded enough to create again. xoxo Kim
i know i've been harping on and on about the rainy, cloudy, cold weather we've been having and even i am tired of it (both the weather and the harping), so i thought that regardless of the weather, i would start the week by remembering that there are lots of things to love, so i give you what i'm loving right here, right now, rain or shine...

unexpected prezzies in the mail.

more unexpected prezzies in the mail.

thank you so much, amanda!!!

the variety of flowers i'm finding in our new garden.
picked this bouquet this weekend.
tho' the wind blew so much the past two days, this will be the last of the lilacs. (cry!)

stitching while watching t.v.
on my black-bean dyed linen.
which has changed color (on its own) to a lovely purpley grey.

more experiments in dyeing.
trying with those lilacs. i love lilacs, but i'll admit i'm not sure this is going to work.
and i love the light in my kitchen window.
i also love the girl effect, facebook (yes, facebook - i'm into it thanks to my AyePhone (which i also love) and the fact that you can choose "pirate" as your language), flickr and blog camp. and i love that my nephews, who currently are in possession of my sabin's iPad, refer to it as "the big phone." oh, and i also love the new blogger template editor (as you can see from my new look). i didn't change my old picture sizes, so if you look at old posts, the pix will bleed over into the RH sidebar. i wanted to remember when i made i the switch, so i left them.
maybe we can all change the world this monday, just by thinking of what we love and not about hating mondays (and that infernal weather).

This maybe something I'll have to do later when I'm stressed, because I had a rubbishy shift and a crappy driving lesson.
