    Tea Tuesday?

    December 11, 2012 - By 
    It’s been a long time since I had a Tea Tuesday post…mostly since I always have a super busy Tuesday and I don’t often schedule my posts. Likely because I’m not very good at planning ahead. I’m sort of a fly by the seat of my pants type of girl. 

     I just had to show you the teacup candles I made. 
    Once again, something I’ve been wanting to do for a long, long time but just never did…until now.

    I’m totally in love with them. They turned out perfectly.  
    I couldn’t have imagined better results! 
    Hooray! Love it when something comes out right!

    Candlemaking

    December 10, 2012 - By 
    Continuing one with my need to melt things…I made some candles.
    Over time I’ve collected containers and supplies at garage sales to create some OOAK candles.
    This one in the tin is so feminine. It has a nice soft scent…not flowery as the flower on top would suggest. Just soft, sweet and slightly fruity.

    For this one I placed chunks of a darker, broken  candle in the glass jar before filling with the new wax. I was hoping for a more dramatic look but what can I say…I’m experimenting.
