When I came down from the attic yesterday, I found that Rose and Topaz had dyed everything they could lay hands on, including the dishtowel and the roller towel. Once I had dipped my handkerchief into the big tin bath of green dye, I got fascinated too--it really makes one feel rather Godlike to turn things into a different colour. I did both my nightgowns and then we all did Topaz's sheets which was such an undertaking that it exhausted our lust.
-I Capture the Castle, Dodie Smith
I've been on a dyeing streak, breathing new lifeinto my tired white t-shirts and blouses. I don't think I've exhausted my lust, just yet. Soon I fear my entire wardrobe may succumbto the tantalizing color of moss green...

Wonderful!
Real magic.
God, what's with the world, where you just tend to forget things like this are even possible? Or at least, I do.
I don't know if I have much white to dye, though.
oh la la.
love the color.
Yum!
xoxo,
MM
