I'm a busy elf

I have been a busy elf preparing for the Santa supermarket Christmas craft faire...

 Assembling Tea Blends

these little quilts get turned into magnets

 I am enjoying pencil crayons!! 

They are where its at.

They gotta be really sharp though.

Calendula, comfrey, chamomile and chickweed doing a solar infusion

(mostly calendula and chamomile)

This smells wonderful. I can't get enough!

 melting down beezwax

 Calendula Salve

smells deliciously soothing.

Lip balm - turned out really nice! minty.

yes sir.   

Its been fun preparing everything!  

I have no idea what is going to sell.

But whatever doesn't gets to be instant xmas presents!

The Soaps are the main thing...

and then we felted some of it.

 this night was fun and productive 

happy Christmas creating!

felting soap

This happened one night.

soap + felt.

Together with a friend, its a much more rich experience.

Felt and colors and the scent of homemade soap is meant to be shared

The experience of having your hands swell right up, soap and water logged!

the hands are partially MADE of soap, really REALLY friggin clean...

and wine, 

and soapy wine glasses

are meant to be shared...
