How to Tie Dye Shirt Designs : Basic Spiral Patterns for Tie Dye Shirts



So I thought some people might like to . give this a shot, I know it is not everyones cup of tea but maybe it will inspire a little home fashion. Look up some other ways to die cloths, it can make some of those 'I don't wear anymore' cloths find there way out of your wardrobe back on to the 'visiting friends' list. And you don't have to tie dye, I die lots of my cloths one colour just to get a new look, also it is just another way to recycle.

This is random, nothing to do with the web 2.0 Listening to a friends 10 year old telling "in January we are going to" this popped into my head. So now I am sharing it with all of you.

Social Networking

I have used Facebook for some time now, it helps me keep in touch with friends that are interstate or oversea's or simply way to busy to keep up with. My children all use Facebook and have to be my friend to be on it, I know control freak.

I have never used twitter before and haven't yet used it enough to decide if I like it or not, I suppose I can let you know how I feel about that later. If you would like to twitter me then you will need to know my twitter name. 'munatwork' Yep my imagination ran away with me. LOL

All you fellow Web 2.0 people keep on keeping on.

Tag

I might use this in my private life, it helps when you are using different computers. For work purposes I can see the value. As often we have to sit at different computers it would be good to have this info at your fingertips rather than google searching for the same site again. Also we all find different things because we use different terminology when we search so having access to what other people find is a great idea. Customers often ask for help looking for things that others may have asked before so having this tool available too them could save us a good amount of time. Anyway below is a like to my bookmarks, not much on there at the moment but I will keep working on it.

Wiki

I don't know what to say, I love the info and I have to say I was never a fan of wikipedea as I had the idea that any Tom, Richard or Harry could put what they wanted on it. How my faith in internet resource has been renewed. As for my own added opinion on the Web 2.0 wiki page goes, who knows if I did it right. First I tried to add to a thread that was already there and it wouldn't save so I added my own thread which seemed to be successful,  still I would like to know what I was doing wrong when I tried to add to an existing thread. Any thoughts?

Keeping Track

RSS, well I wondered how I would use this, then I started to think about the things I research in my personal life. For about 13 years now I have tried to make conscious choice in the product I use and items I buy and the impact they have on the environment and our personal health. I make my own shampoo, conditioner, face cleansers and moisturisers. I also look for organic clothing and recycled products, it takes time to find these products, weighing up the impact on the countries you buy from and their people. So with that I discovered that by subscribing to some of the sites I use it will save me a large amount of time. Thank you for this relief on my precious family time.

Modena Italy

I have chosen this photo of Modena Italy that I found on Flickr, it was posted by Bumpy Tours (Andre and Edward). The reason this photo inspired me is because my daughter is currently In Modena on exchange for 2 months, she arrived there yesterday at about 5pm Italy time which is midnight our time here in Western Australia. How lucky she is to see such a beautiful place. If you go to flickr and search for Modena Italy you will find some wonderful photos and also some great art work. Modena is well known for its art galleries and fast cars. It is also home of a very famous and popular brand of Olive oil, now it is home to my lovely daughter Sarah (for 2 months only). Have fun Sarah and enjoy being the first member of your family to see snow.

Being over 40 is no excuse!

Hi, I just want to say that we should never say "No I don't want to learn that" because it is a wonderful thing to be capable of learning new things. I didn't start working in the library industry until after I turned 40 and it has been a great challenge to learn a new trade. Even though I was able to bring experiences from previous jobs and from living I still had a lot to learn. Now I am learning yet again with this course on blogging and other internet mediums, what a wonderful thing to be able to pass this on to our customers. I am sure I will also be able to pip my children at the post with some of the things I am about to learn on this course. So thank you for this opportunity. Good luck one and all!
