Goodbye Sweet Annie!

My sweet little dog went to live in heaven on 12/10/07. She had fluid in her lungs and was losing weight rapidly. She blessed us with her loving tail wags and kisses for 8 years. We will miss you Sweet Annie :) Love, your mommy!!

Finished Kool-Aid Felted Bowl :)

Here she is :)

Kool-Aid dyed yarn!!

I just started experimenting with Kool-Aid Dying and I LOVE IT!! I can't wait to make more skeins for future projects! I dyed this yarn with Lemon-Lime & Pink Lemonade Kool-Aid with a couple of drops of Green & Red Food Color dyes. Added a bit of vinegar to be sure it set well and VOILA!! YUMMY! I LOVE the colors!! I am making a felted gift basket to give for the Holidays! I will post the finished project soon!
