Happy St. Patricks day!!!!

What a wonderful day!..

Not only is it an Irish holiday for us here at

Wickedly Wunderful Stitches,

but it is also our Boston Terrier Baby Neo's 3rd Birthday!! 

For his birthdays past I've always wanted to dye him green but I've been overruled so I won't even suggest it for this year LOL!

I can't wait for the ice cream and peanut butter I get tonight!!

I hope everyone is having a great day strutting their stuff in green and eating all types of little green goodies!! 

Thank you for reading~

Ah yes.. another beautiful day for dyeing!

It is a balmy 66 degrees here today! So what does that mean??

Oh yes....

Another day to dye some fabric and eggs!!!

Only this time we used Red Cabbage to make blue eggs and Blue/Purple fabric~

Though pretty,

I cannot put into words how badly the house stunk after cooking down the cabbage.. LOL!

Dixie Samplar from Prim Stitchers Society sent me the bestest gift ever!!!!!! 

I asked the Master Stitcher Terri for some help with my PCStitch software and I had an awesome conversation with her as she shared some of her stitching wisdom with me =)! 

She sent me some of her GORGEOUS linen and also some BEAUTIFUL silk thread to try!! =)

This is the best stitching gift I have ever received and I cannot wait to start stitching with my new goodies!! =) I am in love with her Butternut Squash fabric and already have something in mind to stitch on the London Fog for Halloween! This fabric is so soft and creamy!! I just might start stitching something with it tonight!!

I do believe Spring is here!!

It is a beautiful,balmy, 50 degrees here today!

So what do you do on a nice spring day?

DYE SOME FABRIC!

Mom, (Donna), decided she was going to dye some eggs for her wire egg baskets using onion skins.

~The Onion Dye~

SOOOOO........

I got the idea to stick some Aida and DMC into it LOL!

Then of course she through some wool into it also and OHHH we got some pretty colors!!! 

After we finished dyeing it we hung it out on the lines to dry and I baked off my thread slightly~

Then we came back in to take out the eggs which had finished cooking on the dye~ They were a beautiful brownish red color!

And that is a day well spent!
