Eggs, bubbles

Last night reading blogs, I decided we might try dyeing some eggs. We tried 3 different natural food based dyes. Red cabbage, turmeric, and apricot/red chili powder because that is what we had. I knew the cabbage and turmeric had a pretty good chance as they always stain my sink, the apricots were way old and thought I'd give them a try.




We boiled each of the foodstuffs, cooled them, added a bit of vinegar and put the hard cooked eggs in and let them sit in the fridge for about 8 hours.









They turned out great - especially for starting with brown eggs! One egg did not get put in a dye bath due to a broken shell.. It is the one still very brown egg. We'll call it the control group.


Before the great unveiling we went outside to make big bubbles.. It was a beautiful day.
