Why oh why oh why is it, that if I *don't* want my clothing stained with 
beet, I *will* drop one in my lap, and it *will never* come out! But I have 
tried using beet to dye (that fuschia color really is pretty!) fabric, it 
fades out? I don't get it! <whine, snivel>

Then there way the time I went out do dinner with my Sweetie, wearing my 
favorite marigold yellow shirt. And *blup*! There goes a spoon of cioppino. 
It never came out. :-(

When I was making clothing for a certain blonde Queen a few years back (she 
might still be on this list, so I won't use names, but You Know Who You 
Are!), she was so accident-prone with food, we joked about making  a hood 
with a catch-bib on it to protect her clothes! Still might do that 
someday... ;-)
