I completely hear you on the fabric dying. I gave it up in part because I couldn't handle the buckets and in part because even using nonbucket techniques I was trying to do it as a secret from Emily and it just wasn't manageable.

It's not like fabric dyeing is going to go away and not be there when she's grown.

True! But it went really well. No great spills and none on the ground! I'll post some photos, soon.

PS I still have a TON of mixed dye if you want to come over and dye anything tomorrow.

I think the dye will still work. I mixed it this morning and didn't put any mordants into, but instead soaked the shirts on site and then had the kids dye them.
