and a wow button! now this is old school rugging!! Love them and so rustic! do you have a store or anything? sell at craft shows? you sure should if you dont yet!

Nope, I'm a newbie, but I'm really enjoying it!

gnomes

These are fantastic! Are they felted? That is something else i'm starting to play with. Very cute! They would be fun to tuck into various corners in the house and see if the grandkids could find them all.

I struggle with the quote thing too. LOL

If you want to quote a whole post, just click on the Reply button at the bottom right of that post. It will quote the message and put the cursor in the proper place to begin typing. Once you have completed this simply repeat for the next one that you wish to quote.

If you only want to quote part of the post, use your cursor to highlight the portion of the post that you wish to quote. This time click on the black Reply button directly below the highlighted section. Again this will put the quoted section into the message box with the cursor in the proper place to begin typing.

Once you have gotten all the quotes and your responses in the message box click on Post Reply.

Just forget about using the Quote button and only use the Reply button.

Love this you've done an amazing job - it was on my list to do one of these for Remy but he is nearly 4 now so a bit late! Maybe I'll have more time / energy when I start having grandkids

Yes totally! I have so many other "too babyish" things and abandoned projects because she was just growing too fast! But grandkids are definitely my next hope... though I'll be an old lady by then!

I am over here like, dang so much for being thrilled with the gnomes the kids and I made for Xmas gifts this year <crying>

Those gnomes are adorable! You should be so proud --and what makes them even better is you made them WITH your family!

My daughter keeps telling me to post on instagram for the soap co but its an area I havent messed with much. its all just images right? I asked her to make a soap profile up and do it for me but she is too busy at going on 14 very soon!! seriously! kids!

Kids I know right?!
Instagram would be great for marketing your soaps!! If you can navigate BYC then you won't have a problem with instagram. Yes it's all photos and it is timeline based, so you can't rearrange anything like in an album. It's also a good place to get ideas. Click this simple search I did:
#homemadesoaps
*edit* Here's some more because it's just so fun to look!
#goatmilksoap
#soapmaking
#gentleskincare

If you see anything you like, just click on their username to go to their homepage and see all their other posts... sometimes it's a dud, and other times it's amazing.

Just start clicking around and get lost in the labyrinth of #hashtags! When you post your own photos, the more #words you use to label it, the more possible views you will get.
When I first started my account sodapop.draws I didn't hashtag anything because I thought it was stupid, I just wanted a personal page for myself. I don't know what happened later on, but I totally got into it!
You should try it... I will follow you!

That pup is adorable!!!! and the barefeet! lol love them!!
Those desserts O M G Vanilla tarts with chocolate covered strawberries seriously? I wish I Could order for the baby shower I am preparing for!! Everyone would freak with foodies like that! and the images of them too wow! any pointers on taking images of my soap? I am terrible!

Thank you! They were sooo good. They took many, many hours of work, but they were worth it and I will be making them again. My only tips are to put the camera at an angle so that the foreground is in focus and the background is blurred. Also, natural light is always the best.
From what we be seen, you photos are amazing! That soap is gorgeous! I have always wanted to try soap making, and I’ve even almost bought supplies to do it. I have about 50 old beehives that are not in use that I’ve been slowly melting down. I’m planning on someday using that wax to make beeswax soaps. I want to make it find a mold that makes the soap look like honeycomb.

Now that is a HUGE tasking hobby! WOW!!! I have always wondered how they are kept dry! do you ever have a humidity issue? I have hughsnet and it is horrible but I would love to see the roof grown in! you may have posted an image but I only see a few! Thank you so very much for sharing! and as I read I do hope you shared other hobbies!! yall are such amazing people!

I'll post a couple more pictures later of the finished roof. I was reluctant to post much because its debatable whether or not it could be considered as a hobby. I just thought some people might be interested.

I started a bracelet to day... had trouble cutting the heavier wire and realized I had grabbed the Stainless steel instead of the Titanium coated copper.... But since its my first bracelet I am continuing on with the project. ... so we will see.
