Market/Soap

Hello!
I had that pesky tooth removed on Monday!! Never had a tooth out before – mildly terrifying!!
The dentist was fab tho… she made everything go as well as possible and was very kind and encouraging.
Nevertheless – still felt a bit sore and sorry for myself.
All healing well – still taking a few painkillers though!

Anyway – thought you’d like to see how my table looked at the market last weekend!
So pleased with the overall look!

Unfortunately sales were pretty dismal which was disappointing as I usually do really well at this market.
For those non-Australians, we had a federal election that day – some of the local polling booths had extensive waits so I reckon people just would have been cranky and over it and not going out to shop afterwards

I did get my scones tho… soooooo goooooood!

I have a mini workstation behind my table where I can wrap soaps, collect $$, do some crochet and… eat scones!

I got a kick out of using some of the baskets I’ve been making!

My friend Jude had the stall next to me – lots of lovely plants and produce

Her sales were also sadly a bit lacking on the day…

All sorts of fabulous things!

Maureen was there too and I dashed over to get a sneaky snap

Happily, Maureen sold really well!! Very pleased for her! Such a bright and colourful stall!

I made a couple more soap batches this week since I wasn’t running about being too busy…
This one is Turmeric/Orange!
Using my friend Irene’s home grown turmeric that she dehydrated and powdered
I did a mix of the powder and the coarser one for a scrub like effect.
And popped in the orange essential oil

I really like the look of them!

Also did a teardrop batch using the Anjou Pear and Lemon Zest fragrance

And evenings in front of the fire lend itself to crocheting- more face washers and face scrubbies

And a soap holder experiment that I did this afternoon

Maureen suggested it for my shampoo bar – so I had a go at it

I am taking it over to Maureen tomorrow after basket weaving class to give to her and she can test drive it!!!

My Mum sent me a pattern for a rectangular shaped soap sock – that’s on my list to have a go at next!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
Cheers!
