I am DYEING to gather items

I am "dyeing" to start the process of gathering some items that I want to have in a separate area, away from the kitchen, close to the washtub in the basement.  I am going to look a slightly or gently used crockpot/slow cooker and a microwave this morning that I found on the kijiji listings.  How coincidental it is for one person to have both items listed, I think they were meant for me to find!  

These will be added to my collection of items.  I have an old cardtable, a plastic table cloth, the sink, and a cement painted floor in a pretty decent size area.  I need some containers and I think I may just use some margarine containers to begin with, and I want to purchase some vinegar as well.

I have some cheaper yarn I can experiment on and I have a white tea towel I just want to play around with and be very creative with making it very orange, to match our kitchen instead of using it white.  If it does not turn out that is no biggie at all!  No big waste!

I have not purchased any dye yet but I do have some old food colouring sitting in the cupboard.  I may look at some koolaid today too while we are out.

I am trying not to just jump into this full force as we have some others on the go in the next few weeks, like entertaining, visiting and camping.  I want to gather some things gradually and then have stuff all available and then when I finally get the urge to hand-paint something I will all what I need and want!  But today does start the ball of wax moving!  And I am quite excited of the potential this may hold for me. I have lots of little ideas running around in my head.
