Dyeing w/Kool-Aid

2012-04-15T15:16:00.001-04:00

This is a video about dyeing in the microwave using kool-aid colors. It is super easy. When dyeing with Kool-Aid (any kind of kool-aid) you don't NEED to add vinegar because Kool-aid already has acid in it. I mention adding vinegar because some people prefer it but it is not necessary. You NEVER ADD sugar.

Episode 2 ThePlayYard

2012-04-12T10:04:00.000-04:00

This is a little longer than I originally intended. I hope to have all the kinks worked out (length, video etc.) after the first few episodes. I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Bonus Dyeing video coming this weekend.

Episode 2 : Nanny's Panties ? - I thought about changing the name but I would have had to wait another 2 hours to convert the footage I said, "it's staying".

I have submitted to itunes... now we wait for them

Walking Wheel

2012-03-25T09:41:00.001-04:00

This weekend I had a chance to use my Aunts walking wheel from the 1800's. It was a delight to use and so relaxing.
