Today’s Question:
Do you own anything with a tie-dye pattern ?
No
Have you:
tie-dyed something yourself ?
No
dyed clothing/fabric ?
Yes, many years ago I used Rit in the washing machine to dye something.
done batik (wax-resist dying) ?
No, I'm really not creative that way. I envy people who can do all these things.
Extra Credit:
Do you use a cork bulletin board ?
Yes, I have a small oak-framed bulletin board that is made from wine corks stamped with the names of the wineries they came from. It's hanging over the kitchen sink. I use it in the kitchen and pin recipes to it so I can refer to them when I'm cooking.
Bonus:
Do you have a toolkit for home repairs-
with a hammer, wrench, screwdriver ?
Yes, we have a lot of tools.
Have you ever used:
a jackhammer ?
Yikes, no! I couldn't stand the noise.
a sand blaster ?
Eek, no! Those are much too minatory for me.
an airbrush ?
No, only the airbrush effect on Microsoft's drawing program.
a kiln ?
Not directly, but I've made pottery that was fired in a kiln.
Just for Fun:
Do roads in your area have bicycle lanes, and/or HOV (carpool) lanes ?
Yes, they're very big on that stuff around here.
Today’s Question: Do you own anything with a tie-dye pattern ? Nope. I am too redneck to be caught wearing something with a tie-dye pattern.
Have you: tie-dyed something yourself ? Nope. Is not redneck enough to be considered a worthy use of time.
dyed clothing/fabric ? Only the one time a dye pack exploded in the bag of cash I was carrying out of a bank.
done batik (wax-resist dying) ? Have no clue as to what this is. However I am sure it is something a redneck would not be doing.
Extra Credit: Do you use a cork bulletin board ? Nope. I use the "tape it on the fridge" method
Bonus: Do you have a toolkit for home repairs- with a hammer, wrench, screwdriver ? I do. It is not very useful. The fact it is in my storage unit 5 miles from home may have something to do with that.
Have you ever used: a jackhammer ? Yes a sand blaster ? No an airbrush ? No a kiln ? No
Just for Fun: Do roads in your area have bicycle lanes, and/or HOV (carpool) lanes ? There are some real dangerous bicycle lanes. They are narrow and there is no buffer between them and the car lanes.
