I am trying to get my fabric scraps under control.  LOL 
 (Really, I just like to play with cutting and making pinwheels)


The "Ice" box has log cabin strips in it.  The log cabin quilt was my first "formal" quilt.  I followed a book by Eleanor Burn and I ripped all of the fabric.  Once I discovered the rotary cutter and mat, I was in heaven.


The Spellbound soap was cured last week and I wrapped and labeled it.


I scored some sheets from Tammy at Antiques and Uniques.  I completed this one . . . 


and started a new one. 


Once again, the rotary cutter was a game changer.


             Last night I made Lemongrass goat milk soap. This is one of my favorite scents. Back when I used to run 5 miles a day, it felt so good to head for the shower with a bar of this.

 I have continued experimenting with the beeswax.  


I am testing the burn times and awaiting more molds.  Then I need to stop ordering and start selling.  I am also experimenting with adding Thieves oil to them.  That way they are still all natural, but have some scent.  

I received 2 molds today that I immediately had to try out!  


I have some others coming that are faith based;  Jesus and the Lamb, Holy Family, Blessed Mother.  It was really hard to find molds that are not made in China.  These are made in Poland and South America.
