OK, here is the promised pic of my corner shelf project. Yes, it is a garish colour combo at first, but when the room is painted and I build his raised upper bunk bed, you’ll see it all come together. Promise. Here is a sneak peak at some yummy soap concoctions I have on the… Continue reading Shelving

Once again the crafter is focused on food. Happily, I am not eating any of it this time (unlike those smartie chocolate chip cookies). One of the gals here (whom I don’t actually know yet)  just had her second baby and wasn’t interested in being showered in infant gifts again.  So, several of us hit… Continue reading Meatloaf for Baby

NOT doin’ the devil’s work here: I thought some pics of recent projects would be a nice diversion. How ’bout cookies without calories: Smarties take everything up a notch! Moving the kids into new bedrooms necessitated a change in furniture and a renewed need for storage pieces (desperate need, really). Thank heaven for Ana White’s… Continue reading Idle Hands…

We are baaaaaack. A brand new part of the country, a plethora of new products, a new garage foundation to build, and a new house to renovate has kept us apart from you these past many months. But here we are again: raring to go. We spent a fantastic weekend in the Folk on the… Continue reading Bloggin to a New Tune

Oh the crafter has been slaving away in the kitchen and replenishing her soap cupboards…! Even more exciting, new products are on their way too. At this very moment, testers are luxuriating in their lavatories with a fabulous new sugar scrub that is heaven-sent for our parched, prairie skin. New bath fizzies are keeping the… Continue reading the Soap Pot is Bubbling Away…

Peace and warm fuzzies to all this Christmas season!

And the Crafter is  so low on stock!!!! Her fabulous hubby (and man-child) managed to sell more soap at work than she would ever have dreamed! With several orders to fill aside from these, she is desperately low on stock and simply out of certain soaps! What a wonderful problem! Though she does hope to… Continue reading Ack! Craft sale tomorrow!

The Crafter saw something like these at her last craft sale and knew immediately that they could be useful for gift giving (teachers, coaches, stocking stuffers, friends she forgot to put on her list…). So she has been ever so busy printing, cutting and pasting these beauties together: Nifty idea huh?  She is going to… Continue reading Tea… the affordable luxury (and great gift).

So many fun soaps keep pouring out of the Crafter’s kitchen! In fact she thinks there will have to be storage shelves put up in the dining room now, as there isn’t anywhere else in the house left to stack stuff! But oh it does smell scrumptious. Check out this decadent loaf…. It is filled… Continue reading Up to the elbows in Soap!

Digitally speaking of course (but don’t ask for some of her Cadbury Popping Mini Eggs: She is not ready to part with any of those)! The Crafter is trying out her first file share in the form of a template. She was puttering about with filters and her dd’s ‘pretty-princess’ pics and  came up with… Continue reading the Crafter is learning to share
