Grey is the new black

Kerry has been looking for some a polo shirt for Jaxon but she wants a black one and she cant find one in his size.

I got onto the net and same here....then I said to her just get a white one and dye it.....

Dee you are so clever!!!

 
We got the dye......
 
Yep Dee you are clever......
 

                                                                     I got the shirt....

                                                                  Yes so clever dee...

I thought well the LM has a couple of white singlets that are looking abit yellowish chuck them in the dye as well...

                                                                     So clever Dee.....

                     I put everything in the washing machine and had a quick look at the instructions....

                                                               Hot water !   no I am using cold....

                                           Salt ! That much !!  no this amount will be enough.....

                                Any way I don't need the instructions I am clever remember......

                                                   NO DEE YOU ARE A DUMB ASS........


                                                Everything came out grey....Yes grey.....


I told Kerry it didn't work and gave her the little grey shirt for Jaxon which looks good by the way..

                               Kerry couldn't understand why it didn't work.....

She regualary dyes her towels when they are looking faded and they turn out perfect......

Kerry showed me a cardigan she dyed black ...perfect it was cream before......

"did you follow the directions Mum?"

"mmm yeah sort of"

"did you do it in hot water mum"

"well sort of"

"Mum how much salt did you use you need to use heaps the directions tell you how much to use what did yours say ?"

All right I didn't read the instructions I thought I know better I thought who needs directions I do craft...I paint furniture...I make cakes .... I thought I didn't need to follow the instructions  I was w www wrr oonnnggg ok so I was wrong.I should have read and FOLLOWED the instructions...

                        But hey Grey is the new black .....well I think it is...

  1. Very funny! this is how I make distressed cotton fabric by not following the directions on the dye pack. BTW salt is a mordant which sets the color.
