I am still going to basket weaving on Friday mornings. I really enjoy meeting the ladies at the centre and generally socialising – with a cuppa and something to eat and some weaving as well!
I made another lily last Friday so I could remind myself of the technique and also continued to twist my flax into a cord which is getting nice and long. One day I might turn it into a basket!
I cut some more soap..
The sprinkle soap turned out pretty – I used the rose-geranium essential oil as it sold very well at the last market
And also sliced up the black raspberry and vanilla soap too – despite the oopsie in colour mixing I like it a lot
Leftover mixture…
More black raspberry and vanilla soaps that I unmoulded today… I have an order for three butterfly soaps and a horse:
And all the offcuts from the coloured soap I cut up into rough square shapes and mixed back into a plain white ‘batter’ (using the same fragrance, Lemongrass and Exotic Lime)
Waste not want not?
Makes me think of nougat!!
I went for a lovely walk today… one I hadn’t done before so when I get my act together I’ll share.
It was a lovely day and every step of the way I feel rather lucky to be living in this area!!
Hope your weekend was amazing
Cheers!
