Lotions & Lip Balms

 Not one to generally buy a kit,

creating these lotions and

and lip balms was the perfect

solution to a Wintery day
inside with a friend.

Raspberry and Apple treasures.

Lotion Bar Experiment

After enjoying using a simple lotion bar created

by a friend for almost over a year now, 

I researched the Internet for simple recipes,

and my experiment of combining

beeswax, coconut oil and flax seed oil

and the small remaining ball of my old one

worked well. 

Lotion Bars are great after

dish washing and/or rough feet too.

Hand Appliquing Bull's Eye Blocks

Before embarking on my  first Cruise adventure,

I quickly cut out 8 inch square,

6,4 & 2 inch circles in various

red, blue and green batiks

to have ready to hand sew while at sea.

Of course, I didn't complete as much as I thought,

but it's great to have ready a portable hand project

started again, considering I'm almost finished

with my current one.

Hand Quilting Continues

Somehow this small hand quilting project

got put away while another one was started

over Christmas.  HMMMM...

does that sound familiar?

I'm on the third side of the border and

can see completion on the horizon.

WooHoo!

Merry Christms!
