So today we dyed eggs! I am really in love with the rich colors that resulted from dying brown eggs. The h-band seemed pretty impressed with the results too.Here's the instructions on how to dye brown eggs again, for anyone who missed my last post which contained this link.
I am equally amazed at how much my 1 year old son was content to sit and watch as the eggs soaked in the cups of dye. Periodically he'd yell out the name of a color (usually green) and point, and that meant that I should bring the egg up and check on its progress.
Tomorrow I'll be hiding the eggs around the house while my husband feeds the boy breakfast, and we'll see how he likes his first Easter egg hunt. I crocheted some egg cozies to add a bit more color, decoration and cushioning for the eggs, especially considering they will be getting handled by a 1 year old :DHave a happy Easter if you are celebrating it tomorrow!

just found this googling "dying brown eggs" -- GORGEOUS!
I googled this after I dyed some brown eggs today. My colors came very close to yours. They look like the Batiks in the fabric stores. My children were calling them "hippie eggs." I will definitely dye brown eggs again.
