Trade show jitters….

Four weeks left until the great spring trade show!! Oh my. The Crafter has been soaping at a furious pace. Insane really. Soap bars are everywhere. Piles, rows, and stacks of them all over the house now. My, how good it smell though. The new business cards and banner are ordered (under our ‘Naked North’… Continue reading Trade show jitters….

Before the melt….

In typical fashion, we have been catapulted into spring…. From -28c nights, we jumped to -8c in a three day period, skipping everything in between.  So, with days hovering around freezing, the Crafter and kin are out on the lakes every possible moment to enjoy the best and last of winter. Soon (a week or… Continue reading Before the melt….

Lull’s over.

How dare the Crafter allow an entire month (albeit the briefest of them) to pass by with nary a word or pic posted in the blog. Bad. So Bad. Like most of the North American continent, we have been in hibernation, awaiting the end of this perpetual winter. Though we haven’t had the snow volume… Continue reading Lull’s over.

The Winter Lull

Thank heaven for -35c temps and only 6 hours daylight!

Have to show you first what the Crafter got for Christmas this year from her hubby… Continue reading The Winter Lull

December Blues

While I am awaiting….

So the Crafter was unable to soap for a few weeks while awaiting delivery of much needed base oils and lots of unnecessary, but coveted ‘other’ ingredients. But she was well occupied in the interim pouring lots and lots of glorious soy candles: If you have never burned a soy candle, you ought to indulge!!… Continue reading While I am awaiting….

Betrayed by my server….

If you have tried to access the Sassy site lately, you may have noticed a strange-ZenCart-thingy happening. Apparently our provider changed servers and some of the info was left behind in la-la-limbo.  So now we are up and functional again… at least as far as we can tell. There are still some photo upload issues… Continue reading Betrayed by my server….

Muktuking about….

Perched at the edge of the glorious North, a soul has only two options: keep a cozy down-filled Southern-comfort blanket between oneself and the environment/culture until your time here is up. Or plunge in head first, nekkid’ and polar-bear style!!… The Crafter here tends to fall into the nekkid’ – bear – head category. The… Continue reading Muktuking about….
