My class dyed both white and brown using the natural ingredients on my other post and they came out very pretty. Not nearly as bright as these though!

Glad Im not the only one. Im gonna dye some tonight. DH went to the store ealier and I asked him to pick up some white eggs. You would have thought I was speaking Japanese or something. He gave me this funny look and refused to buy me any. "Im not buying any darn eggs when we got 8 dozen in the frig. You're just crazy talking now.."

8 dozen my butt! We only have 6 dozen in there. Lol. Shhhhh dont tell hubby, but Im running to Wal-Mart later and will pick some up then.

ETA: Oops I forgot to say... I want the white eggs because I want to do a little experiment. Im gonna use my eggs(fresh brown & green eggs) and then some from the store(older and white) and see which one has the better and brighter color.


What can I say..Im bored and love brightly colored eggs.

Yeah, I made an emergency run to the store last night for white eggs b/c I wasn't sure about the brown ones. Plus, mine are fresh and hard to peel when you hard boil them. I guess the older the eggs are, the easier they are to peel. I have also heard you can add vinegar to the boiling water to make them easier to peel (can't remember the amount...think I heard it on Martha Stewart). Anywho...beautiful eggs. We dyed some last night and my daughters are really too little to appreciate it, in fact my 7 mo. old was in bed. My 23 month old's hands are totally green (that will look nice for church tomorrow) but she did have fun. Nice job, coffee!
