Painting the town red - well the sky pink

I'm dying lots of pink voiles for the skies for my cushions today (sadly not with natural dyes, they only work on natural materials, not on synthetics) - its quite a messy job, made worse by the fact that I'm naturally messy, and that the phone keeps ringing - I keep mopping up little splotches of dye (its to rainy to do it outside) and am hoping that I'm not leaving any traces behind.  I'm also multi-tasking by trying a sample of dyeing with coffee grounds - as much as possible I want to use the colours around me , manipulating synthetics with a freecycle pressure cooker later!
