I threw this little gift jar together for my dear friend Judy , , she is a baker so it has a treat in it and frosting and cupcake papers .....also note, the nifty crocheted soap saver on the side to match . I love making up and giving these types of gifts , i also sell these , great for anytime , BTW mothers day is coming up !
vanilla made with goats milk , this is my dear friends favorite scent , so i added a little something ontop and firgured out how to make it stick right on there . these little soaps to add are so much fun , cant wait to make more .
Let the cold process begin . These are the soaps that have the basic ingredients and are a bit old school made with lye and oils of your choice . Brambleberry's website has a short video on this process . I order all my essential oils from Brambleberry I love them , so much information on this site . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MtzyxQiqKo...this is a link to help beginners , enjoy!

Orange Valencia , the smell in the house today is awesome ! Real orange zest made with goats milk , so silky and moisturizing .
I was in the cake and candy isle at Michaels today and saw theses little tiny silicon molds for candy , ha, they worked fantastic for my soap . If you are gonna make soaps the silicon molds are fantastic if you are doing the melt and pour , these are melt and pour .

Lemongrass is quickly becoming my most popular scent , i typically make it with aloe added to it but recently added it to goats milk and wow i love it ! You can find all the benefits of goats milk on line .Lemongrass is used to repel insects, an anti-irritant, anti bacterial , antioxidant and also has anti-inflammatory qualities . I have a second page to this blog , it will soon have a list of all the products i sell and where you can find them .
yup 1st place at the fair 

rag rug , 40 hours of work time . All strips were cut into 5in x 1in strips and hand pulled thru the rug base . I made this for my granddaughter. The idea here is really to use any of your scraps of material laying around .

Its starting to enter into spring now so although i will continue to knit i wont post as much about that till closer to fall , the candles and soap are my most recent projects and now that i been working on creating my labels i can get a few things out there to share with all my friends and family . This is a tester candle , i just started the process so i tried one of my labels on it , fits perfectly .
Gma wanted cranberry candle so i made one for her . 
AS many of you know i learned to knit , actually loom knit , my mother in law gave me a set of knifty knitter looms while i was off work to help pass the time and from day one i was hooked , couldn't get enough patterns . The things you can do on the loom be it round or straight are endless . Here are a few things i have created . A few of my starter projects

Spicy oatmeal milk and honey made with goats milk , it smells delicious and this silicon mold makes for easy removal .....if you could just smell it
