What I’ve been up to!

Hehehhehhehehehehe.

THIS!

Urm, pardon the blur pictures. Mr Nikon is still in hospital.

Hehehe. I MADE SOAP~~~~~ Lalalala.

This batch you see here is Chamomile. Those herb looking things are actually Chamomile tea leaves.

I think this batch is a failure, though. Because the Chamomile scent didn’t stay in the soap. So I’d probably have to melt it down after it matures (takes 4 weeks to mature) and re-make it.

I also did a batch of Honey and Oatmeal with orange scent. And today I did one batch with Goats milk and aloe vera (for Lulu’s eczema) and split the other half to add some essential oils for our own use. :D

Will take photos of today’s batch tomorrow when I turn it out of the moulds to cut them.

I’ve always wanted to make my own soap and recently discovered how luxurious and how good home made soap feels on the skin and I am convinced to try making them! Took me a lot of time in research! I hope it’s all worth it in the end.

Will end this post with a few pictures of Sunshine.

This was how I found her sleeping last night next to her daddy:

So weird! Squashed to one side even though there was no one squashing her. Lol.

And yes, that’s a bruise on her chin. Don’t ask me how she got it. We are very puzzled too. Must have been one of the falls she had. She’s a very active girl, always climbing up and down and falling all over the place.

And pictures of her in the harness my mum bought:

Lol. Weird pose.

It’s actually useful – she doesn’t have to hold our hands all the time and suffer a sore arm, neither would she have to be stuck in the pram and not get exercise.

Last photo. She HATES the sun shining in her face and will whine when it happens. Look what she does for the whole journey in the car just to keep the sun from shining into her eyes?

Yep. She holds that up and sometimes even falls asleep while doing that.

Okily Dokily. I’m sewing more stuff and thinking of casting on more projects…… but I think I’ve got too much on my hands. I still have decluttering to do! Urgh.
