My post today are my Naturally dyed Easter Eggs. I just love how they come out, so natural and the colors are so much softer.

You can boil your eggs in your different dye concoctions but to me that is a lot of different pans cooking. I boil a big pan of water and then pour it over dried onion skins, orange peels or spices to make my mixtures and then add in 2-3 tsp of vinegar and then dip my boiled eggs. I do not diluted the coffee or tea The amount of time you let them sit will determine the depth of color. You can also mix different things to get different colors or you can dip in one color and then another. Some of them need to soak for 30 minutes.

Here is a list of some food items that are good to use: Canned blueberries, cherries, red cabbage leaves, grape juice, cranberry juice,dill, raw spinach, canned beet juice, red onion skins, yellow onion skins, orange peel, lemon peel, carrots, cumin, chili powder, tumeric, curry, cherries…

You get everything from a sage, gold, melon, pink, blue, green, grape, yellow, cappachino…I love the variety of colors–how about you?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

I am excited to be “beta testing” the NEW Thumbnail Linky from MckLinky. I am the first person to get to test it… so if you get an error, contact Brent at MckLinky (brent@brentriggs.com) so he can correct any problems or you can send me an e-mail (Cheri@itssoverycheri.com) and I will get it to Brent.

This is not available to the general public yet, but will be by the end of this coming week.

With this linky be sure to enter one of your pictures from your project. We prefer the picture to be from your project but if for some reason you don’t have one you can enter in your blog button or your profile picture. By entering your project picture, you will capture the attention of more people who might other wise only look at a handful of posts–this way your picture may just grab their attention and make them want to check out your post. I suggest an after picture rather than a before.

Just click to enter your project then enter your picture then instead of just having a list of links, it will show a little picture of your project.

AND PLEASE RE-SIGN up to follow me–just because you followed me at the old blog doesn’t mean you are following me now–Google swipes your followers so I had to start all over and not even half are back yet.

IF the linky is missing:

–I do have all of my parties up till 11:59pm- EST, every week.

–Being the Beta Tester is helping to work out all the kinks so it works smoothly for all of you gals

–thanks for hanging in and I will contact each of you that has left me a note saying you could not get in, when I hear that it is back up again (I have contacted him to let him know about the issue.  All of  the code is still on the post so I am sure it will be back-soon)

–in the mean time PLEASE check to make sure you are following me. A lot of my old followers have signed into parties and not re-signed up and I know they just think they are still following me.
