martha made me do it

is anyone as addicted to martha stewart's magazines as me? i have a love hate relationship with her, really, but i love to try a lot of her ideas and when i got the august issue of 'living' i couldn't wait to dip dye anything i could find. so with a couple of packets of fabric dye and a dollar plastic bucket from target i went to work.

i bought a couple of white sweaters from the goodwill, so i wouldn't ruin anything of my own. i also ended up dyeing a flour sack towel from dollar tree {for a future pillow cover} and some wooden beads {future necklace}. the lighter blue is turquoise and the darker is royal blue. i didn't let the fabric sit in the dye because i wanted a softer summery look. i'm really happy with the results but next time i'll remember to wear gloves. i have one blue hand now and i'm not sure when that will wear off....
