in the studio

 

Sharing a few snippets of my work in the studio this morning.  Lard SOAP in the mold (yesterday), being cut and drying (today).  A gifted tea/coffee service~ washed and on the bench, waiting for me to find it a home. I cut the sweet woodland cotton fabric into neat rectangles for heat packs ~as well as the pure linen backing.   I filled them up with organic wheat berries and homegrown lavender.  I will have a handful of them available online for the May 3rd shop update.  Wishing you a bright Friday and a peaceful weekend too.

We have been busy welcoming 2025 and everyone is now back to school and work.  I was MIA on the blog over Christmas.  I really hadn't planned to be away for so long, but life gets so full sometimes.  I thought I would update with a little recap of a few of what we made. 

We made our annual Peppermint Bark, from here. We gifted some and kept some and topped coffees and hot chocolate.  It is SO good.  December, year ending and January, year beginning has been a good and nice time full of making. 

I hope you had wonderful holidays!
