Today I unveiled some new products in my Etsy Shop . Hand made soap & Bath Salts!! I have been doing research of bath and body projects for years now and decided to finally give it ago. My first batch of soap has some air bubbles (I forgot to tap the mold) but other then that it came out great. I made two bars each of for different recipes: Lavender & Goats Milk; Goats Milk with dried apricots and mango's; Buttermilk, Goats Milk, Honey & Oatmeal and Buttermilk, Goats milk, Vanilla & Coffee. There are also Bath salts with essential oils. One bath salt is Lavender essential oil & dried lavender buds & the second is Pink Grapefruit. I have added a bow with my hand spun yarn to each bottle :) I also listed the first yarn I have spun since July!! It's a fun funky art yarn I spun with a batt from my friend Carrie of CraftyPuppyLover and I added some silk noil that was hand dyed by my friend Brittany of BohoKnitterChic Spins

I really wanted to go to Rhinebeck today and had planned on going until I got a flat tire on the way to work Friday morning and had to buy a new tire :( I have never been to a fiber festival before. I guess I'll have to wait another year. So I decided that Emma and I would spend the weekend crafting and making new items that will go in my Etsy shop in a few weeks. Here's a sneak peek. I also did some spindle spinning and spun my first yarn on my wheel Since July!
