happy mother's day

this moment

grapevine fence

i was able to give our new bed a nice new fence made of old grapevines. seems to keep the dogs out, and looks so much nicer than the plastic barricade!

tie dye

i've experimented with natural dyes, but i've never tie-dyed before. i bought this kit for the kids for christmas, and we gave it a go this week. i figured it would be the perfect stain-hiding summer wardrobe. i had an absolute blast, but it was tricky for the littles to not touch the dye...they had more fun spraying the finished items (shirts and silks) with the hose. i love how they turned out!
