I'm trying to be a better blogger..and I figure that photo posts count, right? Good! I made some soap today:
It's just a nice simple Castile style soap. No scents, no color, just olive oil, a bit of castor oil and the usual water and lye. I'll be making quite a few more loaves of soap before we move...I don't really want to drive over 2000 some miles with lye in our vehicle. And one can never have enough soap!
I ate some oranges..because they seemed sunny:
And I took a few photos of a Calla Leaf with rain drops on it:
I also knit a bit more on the Wing o' the Moth Shawl (very nice and sunshine-y):
I'm through the first skein of the Malabrigo lace and one repeat away from finishing the first chart. Hopefully I can make some more progress on it this weekend..while it rains.
Annnnd.....Our oven, which has been broken for the past two weeks will finally be fixed tomorrow..or maybe Saturday...whenever they get around to it. Thank the gods! I want some comfort food hot from the oven (and I want to bake quite a few goodies as well).
In other boring mundane news...My ribs are feeling much healed and I plan to start dyeing this weekend or Monday. Woot! So hopefully there will be a shop update in a week or so (I'll announce it in my shop and my Ravelry group).
Hope everyone is having a happy Thursday!
Gorgeous photos! Of course, they count!
I'm so glad you're feeling better AND that you're will be working again soon.

Is the soap going on the Etsy page too? (hope, hope) Soap with no scents is my favorite!
