Prayers ascending 🙏

I had a bunch of soap scraps and decided to rebatch them into some soap for my family. I was cleaning and reorganizing the craft room anyway so figured why not. Well, now I know “why not” since my brain cannot do distractions when soaping 😞 Going through and trying to downsize soapmaking...

The vanity is claimed by my granddaughter already. We did a lot of stripping off old chipping paint and veneer from it. It still needs a coat of polyurethane or? If the granddaughter changes her mind, I’ll let you know.

I love all the inspiration and ideas everyone has shared! My mind is thinking some things over 🙂 This is my work space. It’s also serves as a spare bedroom when we have an occasional guest. I don’t have a running water near this room so I still have to lug dishes to the bathroom tub or...

I’m sorry you are struggling so much. I went through that as well early on in this mess. Try to find simple moments of joy and gratitude. If you can’t make soap, plan what your next soap will be. Plan some designs, scents, etc. Make your mind go there first and focus on something you enjoy...

I agree. Most people are going to get this newer variant. It’s highly contagious and doesn’t care if you’re unvaccinated, naturally immune, or doubly vaccinated and boosted to the moon. It’s moving from pandemic to endemic very rapidly. That should give us some encouragement. I’m more concerned...

That’s what I did, with my own variation. I had Covid last year and it was a bit different but similar enough for me to know what I was dealing with. This round of Covid wasn’t as bad as last year and I didn’t lose senses of smell and taste, except for a day. This time, I started with a...

I didn’t call them because the Spirit Goat Conditioning Bar is the exact same thing, right down to the label and packaging. I am looking into the recipes linked above and am going to see what I can come up with for myself.

I agree it looks like paraffin. I had some beeswax that had sat in someone’s shed and was coated in dust. It was a great find so I put the effort into cleaning, filtering, and testing it. It was worth my time and effort. Only you can decide if it’s worth it for you to try to salvage it.

My picture is one I took of a favorite local trail I was able to go back to when I got my scooter. it brings me peace.

I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you for that suggestion! I didn’t realize Humblebee and Me had haircare recipes. I’ve used some of her recipes for other things. I love her dish paste! I’ll check there. Thanks! Thank you! I’ll check into that one, too.

I used to buy a conditioning bar for my hair from a company that no longer sells them (they say they are too expensive to make). It was the first bar I ever used and I loved how it made my hair feel. Sadly, I forgot my last bar in a hotel. Does anyone know where I can find a similar one or...

Hello! My name is Sharon. I’m not so great at introductions, hence my long delay. I’m a bit of a procrastinator, too, so always think that I’ll “do that in a bit” 😏 Anyhow, I’ve lurked here long enough and my new resolution is to follow through with things, so here goes! I live in Ohio and have...
