    Good clean fun

    I successfully made soap!! 
    I’ve been nervous to try it on my own but figured with the month of cure time for this cold process soap that I better get over it and do it.
    This is a coconut oil and olive oil soap with no added fragrance or color. Figured I better start with the basics and work my way up. 

    I have to tell you that I was super worried yesterday.
    I never got a good “trace” before pouring it into the mold. 
    So maybe I shouldn’t say that it’s a success yet….
    I’ll let you know in a month.

    Scrappy, scrappy

    November 11, 2012 - By 

    I’ve been working on loom knitting again. I have an order for 10 dishcloths and am expecting I’ll be getting a few more orders real soon. I decided to use some of my scraps of yarn to give some visual interest to these cloths.  Waste not, want not.

    As long as I was thinking scrappy…

     I put together the first in a series of journals. The cover is a print of one of my kaleidoscopes. I believe this one started as a rose.

    I love the look of all the different papers. It’s up to the recipient to decide how to use them.
