CHIVE FLOWERS AND THE DYE POT


 Well boo hoo.  I couldn't skip off to the local garden tour today with my friends - NOR could I go on that hike to view the eagle's nest.  Getting ready to leave for a show.  So sulkingly,  I headed for the garden gate to go on my own little tour.  Picking some chives for a breakfast dish,  I noticed that their perky little flowers had recently taken on a new hand dyed appearance. 
Nothing like a little chive bouquet to put a spring in the spirit.  And one little weed that I normally swear at jumped in the mix - it turned out to be the perfect addition!
One really shouldn't swear anyway...
I just happen to be dyeing wool today.  Really should give this color a go.

  1. Love this little bouquet!!! It looks like beauty berry purple with a dash of pink. Hand painted would be amazing.

  2. You are so right...very much the same colors. I don't do the hand painted wools so i'll forward it on to Carin. She can do it perfectly I'm sure! Good idea.
