Margaritas!

Tonight I made a margarita! No, not real margaritas. I made a natural body scrub, and it smells delicious! I can't wait to try it out. I also finished the coconut face scrub. It has a very light scent, which is perfect for my face. My face is pretty picky on the products I was. It seems like the most natural ones work the best. I'll follow up next week and let you know how well it works! Here are a few pictures of the product while I was making it tonight!
Night everyone!

Bows, bows, and more BOWS!

The last few days I have been busy making lots of these SUPER cute headbands.  You can find them listed for sale in my etsy shop.  These will fit just about anyone from child to adult.  I've made them to tie, so they are completely adjustable.  I've got them done in some of the basic colors so far.  Pink, blue, green, yellow, purple, white, salmon and eggplant. {you could call it plum, but I just like the way "eggplant" sounds! :) }

If you would like one in another color that isn't listed, just email me or send me a convo thru etsy.  I have a ROOM full of yarn, every color imaginable.  When I say room, I mean it.  I have at least 8 of the large rubbermaid tubs full, and then there are baskets of yarn in just about every room of my house.  I'm sure my husband would prefer me to keep it in one area.  But you NEVER know when you just want to pick it up and start making something.  :)

Here is a picture with a few in a jar so you can get the idea of some of the colors.  

Well, I better get to editing some photos.  I need to update my photography blog also!  So glad it's summer so I can "try" to keep up with all my projects! 
Happy Hump Day!

Messy Monday

Seems like Mondays are usually cleaning days :(  I would so much rather be crafting or out taking pictures!  But I am getting a few things accomplished.  A little laundry.  Some dusting.  Sprayed the garage with bug spray.  And unpacked a few boxes.  Yes, I moved 3 months ago.  Yes, I still have a lot of boxes hiding in the spare room and on the loft.  Yes, I will get to them!  I am "simplifying" as I go through them though.  I have set aside BOXES full of stuff to have a garage sale, and getting the "garbage" stuff that got packed thrown out.  It is a bit of a relief to see things thin out. 

On another note, we are being invaded by ants!  It seems I can spray, it will last about 3 days and BOOM they are back!  I don't know what else to do at this point... the dog food is in a sealed container, and they are still coming back.  Maybe a new container?  Maybe it's not sealing enough?  I hate bugs.  I really hate bugs.  I've never had this problem in any other house... is that a sign we need to move... again?!  I hope not!

Ok, I've sat long enough.  Back to work!
Hope you all have a fantastic Monday!!

Insomnia is good sometimes...

Last night I just could NOT get to sleep.  So, I stayed up and watched the last couple episodes of Once Upon a Time that I needed to catch up on.  I also got some crafting done. I made a pair of slippers for my daughter, 3 washcloths, 2 bow headbands and a chapstick case!  The headbands are going to get listed in the shop soon.  I had 3 or 4 more, but my daughter snagged them.  Hopefully tonight I will get a few more done in different colors, she said she loves them so I hope you all do too.  Here are a couple pictures for now.
Happy Sunday!

Shop is updated!

I've been busy this week getting things made. I've updated the shop and added 14 new items. I have a few more things that I need to get pictures of and list also.  I'm looking for some new ideas on things to add, so if you have ideas, let me know what you would like to see.
Here are a couple pictures of some things I've got finished.
Have a great day!
