Negative completions...

I was going to make Olivia an easter dress.  I put it together in a couple of hours, and somehow, along the way, it got stained.  It was a sort of orangy rust -type stain.  And, I'm one of those ridiculous people who iron as I go, so before I knew it, the stain was set in. 

But, wait!  It gets better!  I tried numerous stain removal tactics, to no avail, and then decided the only way to salvage this otherwise perfectly adorable item was to tea-dye it. 

Well, I don't have to worry about that stain anymore.


I got stuff all ready to tea-dye the dress, laid it on a cookie sheet alongside the dish it'd be dunked in. Then I set the kettle up, turned the burner on high, and then wandered away waiting for the kettle to whistle. I saw steam in the kitchen, huge puffs of steam, but no whistling.

I turned the wrong burner on. The dress burned up.
