My First Dye Job - Success

No, not my hair, a dingy old jacket that I never wore unless I was staying home, cleaning, or working out, but now I can wear it to work... and I did!

So first I have to say thank you to Nina at Momma Go Round for inspiring me here!

So I basically followed the directions on the Rit box, so no special tutorial, just read the box and you're golden!

Here are some before and after pics:

Pretty plain Jane huh!

The lighting is bad which isn't helping it's case, but even in the greatest light it sucked.

This outfit isn't flattering and I probably won't wear it again but I was comfortable

It's really comfy and I love how the white threading stayed white while the rest turned bright yellow

Me again!

So don't be afraid to try this at home. It totally worked and I'm beyond happy with the results!

P.S. I promise I've lost almost 25 pounds, I know it doesn't look like it in these pictures but seriously I have!!

July Came Out of Nowhere!

Holy Crapola, it's freaking July already, where did the time go, where did June go, where did May go for that matter.

Okay projects for this month:

• Use the Yellow Rit dye I bought last night to make a plain old white cardi seem new again
• Finally buckle down and paint the mirror my MIL bought for Maria's room
• Grow a pair and venture into the realm of wood working, I'm dying to make the Pottery Barn table I've been drooling over for forever
• Bring out the sewing machine, find the pedal and attempt to make Maria a dress for Summer, this summer, not next!
• Finish the garage
• Declutter the house

So I think that's enough for the rest of the year, not just this month right, ugh I'm so lazy, I promise one of these things will get done this month, ONE OF THEM!!

Happy July 1st!!
