I've been bending wire! And it's all our Opal's fault...she's a very ebil enabler :).
Happy Eye Candy Friday!
I apologize for blog slacking..but packing is taking up lots of time! Photos of moving will probably be coming soon (how droll...er um..I mean...how exciting).
In shop news...the shop will be going into vacation mode on April 14th so I can pack everything up. I will be reopening in mid May.
Spring is here!
Flowers are blooming (forgive all the photos of the same flowers..I was drawn in by them):
I made some more soap today (it's an Oatmeal, Goat's Milk and Honey):
And it's gorgeous enough to do some outside knitting..(log cabin blanket I started for my mom awhile ago..and some iced tea):
Happy Friday!
Before I became a Wool-Dyeing-Soap-Making Freak I was a Baker and Chef by profession for 16 years . And I really just wanted to share with you my other blog (Which I rarely post to nowadays...as I'm still a bit burnt out in the baking/cooking area....so my posts there are now few and far between). So, if you like baking recipes..have a look! And many of you who have purchased fiber from me before will recognize lots of the photos over there..as they are the ones I use for my "Zero-Calorie" greeting cards. Here's the link if you want to have a lookie (I last posted in July of 2009...but there are quite a few recipes to look through): The Barmy Baker
Oh, and it's Eye Candy Friday! Enjoy:
The only perk to oral surgery:
(Ice cream for lunch)
My flock of soap sheep grows every week (this photo isn't the best...it's dark and rainy here and the sheep were feeling restless):
(these are an unscented castile breed of sheep soap)
And Tim has discovered that his wild life of sleeping and eating and doing catnip is finally catching up to him:
Poor exhausted Tim...
In other news...Moving is creeping up on us. We're starting to pack a little here and there...I won't be dyeing any more wool until after the move...so sometime Mid May. The shop will be closing mid April so intensive packing can take place and I'll be reopening as soon as we are settled! I will have more soap photos as the next few weeks pass as I've not quite used up the lye yet.
Hope this post finds everyone well!
Mmmm, glowing red heat (please ignore how icky the oven looks)!
Mmmmmmm...Unscented Goat's Milk and Oatmeal Soap (I might add a touch of honey next time I make this...)
Mmmm, WIP.... This is the project I'm going to try to finish during the Olympics for the Ravelympics. It's another Girasole that I started in December and then pretty much set aside for the past month and a half or two months. I think I should be able to finish it..and if I finish it early I can start something else!
The oven being fixed means I'll be back to dyeing on Monday! I'll have a small shop update next week Friday.
That's my Eye Candy Friday!
Hope everyone has a great weekend :D
