lemon water - easy treat

we received this pitcher today as a wedding gift. i had to throw in some sliced lemons and cucumbers to make a little refreshing beverage.

(IT's HOT, Y'ALL. we're in a serious rainfall deficit!!!!)

ombre dip dye - hibiscus

played with some dried hibiscus we got at the airline market... 1 pound for $3.99 = awesome! I boiled it for awhile to get the color out and used it as a fabric dye...


working with an old white polo, going for an ombre thing...


oops.. it fell in. no going back!


the warm tones washed out leaving cool purple... not how i wanted it to turn out, but will definitely play with it again sometime.


murphy's law: you will get dye on your white pants. thank goodness for bleach :)


and mister brought home some pretty pink peonies, just cause. awww shucks.
