Crafters- What are you making???

[ebwy2]

I haven't got time for crafting at the moment (that blanket is STILL unfinished!) so let me live vicariously - what've you been making?

That is absolutely awsome ... love the pattern and colors. did you use a loom or free-hand it? If free hand, I am even more impressed! Just finished a beaded amulet purse ...

I know it's early to start thinking about Christmas, as it just passed.
I met my fiancee's family this year for the first time. (He actually **finally** proposed on Christmas Eve, after we have discussed marriage, rest of our lives together...etc for the past 6 months). I made soap for them, it was my first time making soap. I made different varieties but apparently didn't use enough essential oil.

Can any of you incredible crafters share some of your recipes for soap (especially goats milk soap!!). I want to start practicing now, give my practices to friends and co-workers, so that I can perfect it by next Christmas to "wow" the in-laws. Heck, I may even give some away at the wedding.

First I want to say I think little handmade guest soaps would be really awesome and unique wedding favors. Totally love the idea!

There is a book called "The Complete Soapmaker" by Norma Coney that has a ton of recipes and handmade soap ideas.

Good luck and have a great time.

HHandbasket,
I think I have that book. I'll recheck.
I have not mastered the fragrances. All the books that I have gotten have been vague about how much essential oils to use

I beaded this with Delicas 'free-hand'. One bitty bead at a time............
