Pickled eggs and Birthday socks!

Last week was my mom's birthday. I made her a pair of socks. I really like girly colors, especially pink, but I don't wear those colors, I don't know why.







The yarn is Wandering Cat Yarns Barn Cat. The colorway is "Rose Garden". It's self striping, and I think Rhonda did a wonderful job in dyeing them. Look how nice they matched up!

I've also had success with my beet pickled eggs. They taste good, and look great.



I was a little scared cutting into them at first. But look - so pretty!



I did the simplest recipe, only vinegar and the hot water of the beets I boiled, including the beets. I was going for color in this one. But, next time I'll try this again, I'll at least add salt, and maybe other spices. Even with salt sprinkled on, the tasted bland. One thing's for sure though, I'll try this again.
