Good Morning Koralee Sweetie...
What a fun share today. These t's bring back such sweet memories of the 70's. I loved my tie dyed shirts. We had so much fun making them.
Looks like you gals had a wonderful time too. Just look at the color combinations and designs. Beets and tumeric powder. I have never tried that. But your results are phenomenal. I love the pinks.
What a lovely day you had. It sounds as though it will be remembered for awhile with the lingering odors. Time spent with family and friends...Priceless. So worth it.
Thank you for sharing today. I enjoyed my visit and the memories it brought about.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
...Love the tshirts Koralee!...r they for sale?.our youngest could use one
on her australian travels!.........Great artisitic job there!
I'm staring at the zinnia on the right and the tanktops OH those colors!! I can't think of the smell of tumeric...but I think I will soon find out :)
Let's see a fashion show with you guys wearing these :)
Those tank tops are gorgeous Koralee. I knew about beets as I have stained things with it before (not all on purpose)but I had forgotten all about tumeric...I may run out and get some!

GROOVY!

Oh Koralee!
We are such KINDRED spirits!
We really are!
ONLY you though...would tye dye with real BEETS!!!!
Amazing!
The ts look so FUN & FAB!
We tye dye every summer when we spend the summer at the farm!
{not this summer though} :o(
I am the QUEEN of tye dye!
For years after high school...through college....and there after I was a counselor at summer camp!
I was ALWAYS in charge of the tye dye!
I run around in all kinds of tye dye tee shirts!
My niece Lily tye dye's boxer shorts to wear around.
So MUCH fun!
It really is a GOOD time!
Happy Day Sweet Pea!

Your tanks are fabulous, so cool and colorful! I didn't realize turmeric had much of a smell but I guess it would on its own rather than in a nice curry dish where it is overtaken by all the other spices. :)
Best wishes, Tammy
these are awesome!!!!!!!!!
tied die loove! xox
Beautiful! They match your flower (pic of the day) perfectly!! :)
At one of our family reunions my younger sister bought everyone white t-shirts and we did this tie dye as a fun project. The kids all had so much fun!!! Great memories!!
Have a fantastic day!

They are great! I use these things to dye my Easter Eggs. Other great natural dyes are - coffee, onions, red cabbage, blueberries and cranberries!
What a fun summer of the '60 project. Those colors are wonderful and so bright. Fun.
You are one "hipped'" momma.....how fun for Molly and friend and you....but yeah, the smell of tumeric leaves much to be desired! They look GREAT, however!
Oh dearest, when do you go back to school? I went back yesterday for a meeting. I have some new curriculum to learn!!!!
HAVE A FUN FEW WEEKS LEFT OF SUMMER! Anita
Oh what pretty color you got from those dyes!! The t-shirts look really lovely with the dahlia in the previous post! My Mom has some of the blue moonstone too.
Fantastic! I'm going to try this when we have a dry day here.
We love tye-dye at our house! What a fun way to do it. My daughter comes home from camp today. I'll have to show her this! :) Happy Thursday to you!
We love tie-die at our house too! In fact, as I was doing laundry the other day I commented on how many shirts my kids have done!
Yours are fabulous!!! What incredible colors - I love them! And the best part about it? "A fun time was had by all."
(Good luck with the smell though.)
How pretty...and fun! I'm looking through your posts and loving your blog! You are so positive and enjoy life! I'm going to add your blog to my favorites list so that I can come more often! ♥
If this doesn't look like oooodles and oooodles of fun. You know I'm all about the dyeing of things. Mostly, the yarn. But, next time I will be thinking of the T and you my friend, should be thinking about a little skein of yarn thrown in the pot. I will teach you how to hook from there. Easie-Peasie....
Thanks again for you kind words today, On the mends and getting back in the spirit of blogging. Just needed a mental health day or two, to deal with some family stuff.
So just what does Turmeric Powder smell like,
Kate - The Garden Bell.
Love the colors....rosy pink and golden yellow are wonderful! How brave you are to take on such permanent dyes, too.
Looking forward to your future posts....my daughters and I always love them!
Sue

Busy bee you are always.Its nice, and well worth the time to share with your daughter.Im afraid beets and me wouldnt work, lol.I would have them everywhere.Happy friday ahead!
How cute are those...man...I so wish we were neighbors ;o)
Nothing wrong with that kind of smell lingering around.....it would make me want to cook a curry!
Tumeric is deadly in the kitchen for leaving stains, I can only imagine using it in large quanities! Oh, my! Brave, adorable woman you are :)
Stop by my blog if you get a minute, I have a give-a-way of a cookbook with an artist work that I just love.

Oh, how fun! Reminds me of the seventies all over again.

Hey Koralee!
I wonder if that was one of your "wild and crazy creative projects!!!
Well... your project may still smell a bit...
but at least it's "all natural" and you won't have to worry about the chemicals!
They came out great! Now you should all go out for rainbow sherbet together :D
~take care dear ♥ ~
*Maria
That was fun...Super Mom...
Love the flower too...
Can we expect a post of 3 chicks modeling tie dye ts???
~victoria~
they look great, reminds me of high school experiments.
that turmeric really does stain! we use fresh turmeric & the chopping board is permanently yellow.
happy friday sweet one.
♥
p.s could you please email me your address
Oooh they're so very pretty but :) xo
Hi Koralee,
Oh this brought back such happy memories, we used to do the same tie dying and yes, I remember how they used to stain the wooden spoons and everything.
Love all the pretty tees you have made.
Have a happy weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
Those all lovely Koralee!! I love it!
Have a great Friday!!
nensa
Well, it has been a long time since I tie-dyed anything! It sounds like fun...but, I think I might have liked them better in your signature robin's egg blue and rose! I don't think tumeric is my color!
What fantastic results!
Koralee,
You never cease to amaze me with your creative flair and gorgeous use of vibrant colors!
Have a great weekend!
Mandy
love those tanks!!! i used to use those spices to dye paper when i was in art school and needed cheap supplies!! spices work tumeric works great, but the smell does linger...that is for sure!
love the idea of tie dying. super fun!!
thanks for sharing.
sue
Girl, you really know how to have a good time, don't you? :) I was a young, YOUNG girl the last time I dyed something like that. :)
I love the tye dye,,,brings back memories, I used to have some just like these! Dare I wear one at my age, YES!
Sorry I've been absent, but I'm back.
Be well,
Lisa
They look great!! :-)
What a lovely color combination - reminds me of experiments in my own teen-days. I loved to buy grandma underskirts and nighties and jazz them up with dye and paint.
I'm glad the mag arrived safely - and it didn't even take that long to get to you! Thanks for your sweet reply, so glad you like it. The flower buddies are so inspiring - and so is Elsita, the woman who did them. See you at friday pretties! xx, M.
