I got this cool set of Inkodye way back in the fall of last year, after Lumi’s Kickstarter ended and they produced the first batches of their product for backers. I’ve held on to it ever since, waiting for just the right things to try to dye. I’m still looking for a shirt or something, but in the mean time I came across the very same dye being sent out in a subscription box! Brandy of MommySplurge shared her cool creation and it’s adorable. Now I really need to get my act together and finally put my dye to use. What an amazing this concept is – turning the idea of a darkroom on its head and actually using the sun to set your dye rather than hiding from it! I’ve got to do something when I’m back in LA and I’ll definitely show you what happens. It’s gonna be great. 🙂

Inspirational
when i think of you
i think of that smile
your resilient spirit shining through
when i think of you
i wish we had met in person
so i could hug you and hear you laugh
when i think of you
i can’t help but shed a tear
as i remember the day i found out
found out the cancer had taken you
i always believed you’d beat it
you were so strong, so brave
you had the kindest heart
you made such an impact on so many lives
inspiring them, encouraging them
and bringing awareness to the need for asian donors
who else deserved to live more than you?
oh janet, how i wish it didn’t
didn’t have to end
end like that, end so soon
how i wish you were still here
sharing your beautiful soul
A tribute to you, Janet, over a year after your passing. Thinking about you.
