yeah, so i was rear-ended today. wth? ug!!! wouldn't have been so bad but my kids were in the car with me. We all got a pretty good hit. No one was injured...but my car (and a bit of whiplash). Luckily the Nissan made it through with just this rip on the bumper. She did hit us hard enough to imprint her drivers plate numbers onto my bumper.

spidey eggs

ties and eggs met and meshed. Pretty cool i think!

Pile o' ties waiting for their eggs to dye
 Cool Silk Tie Dyed Eggs

Okay, I can't stand Martha Stewart any more than most people but sometimes....just sometimes she has a good thought. Great idea. These eggs dyed with silk ties are super easy to make. I went out to the 98cent store and bought 3 of them (for I had already purchased two, god awful ones at Good Will. $5 a piece. dang. Live and learn). Ironically enough the two $5 ties did nothing....nothing!! The cheapie 98cent ties rocked. The crazier,the more god-awful pattern on the tie..the BETTER!

 

Tip #1...skip Goodwill. They're cheap...but not that cheap.  

Since you also need a bedsheet or linen I also bought a pillowcase at the 98cent store.  

Tip #2...get everything at the 98cent store. They have it all!

Tip #3...If your egg doesn't come out (or comes out plain like 4 of mine did) re-wrap them in one of the used ties that DID work and re-boil. Works FABULOUSLY!

and that's a good thing. ;)
