I went to the store and bought eggs, but didn't buy the dye. Then I debated whether any Easter happenings would go down at our address, as the husband is approaching finals (and usually doesn't know that holidays exist unless I tell him what day they are on.)
I remembered last year seeing Eggs dyed using neck ties, and I was off to search the DI bag for bobby's gently used/ugly ties.
Possible Problem #1- Ties purchased in Asia may or may not be silk- no matter what the tag says..
Possible Problem #2 -We didn't have a glass pot for the stove (and for some reasons the directions called to boil in glass or enamel) so I tried the microwave equivalent. Does anyone else wonder if microwaves will someday give them cancer? I mean a little egg in there for like 20+ minutes? That can't be good...
Possible Problem #3- not sure if the Orange ones didn't turn out as well because of Possible problem#1 and/or #2 or if lighter colors just don't work as well..

Cool eggs! Looks like a fun Easter.
I so saw this on a craft page and was going to go out to a thrift store and buy some ties to use, but I never got to doing it. I think I will still try it. Your eggs look super cute. Happy Easter
I am still so jealous that you have a back yard. I hope you are expecting us during pear season...because we will be there. :)
