I occasionally run into people I haven't seen in awhile who do not know that I am retired. Always, I'm asked what I do with my time. Well, pictured below is what has consumed the past two weeks!
 |
| 15 quarts of tomato sauce (minus two in the picture because they have already been consumed) |
 |
| 340 bars of soap, enough to get us through the year, as well as friends and family! |
It keeps me out of trouble!
Haha, great! Both looks gorgeous! And I love the quote to this!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy - both are made from the heart!
DeleteI love the quote, too! Absolutely beautiful soap shots. I wish we could smell them. Your pantry must be amazing. I wonder what else you've got up your sleeve? :)
ReplyDeleteWell - having just returned from WEBS, I am planning to try my hand at an Icelandic cardigan (through a Craftsy class) WEBS did not have enough of my main shade, so I will have to wait for it while it is back-ordered. This will be my first go at working with more than one color!
DeleteAmazing and beautiful. I wish I could retire, too. Right now. I love making things.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carolyn! I must admit that I love retirement. Your day will come!
DeleteLove your comment! I would probably be sitting around eating nachos and drinking wine! Florida seems to be my down time, but I love every minute of retirement!
ReplyDeleteWhat an astonishing production! Your photos are so inspiring! I am so pleased to hear that you love every minute of your retirement!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! I am taking a bit of a break at the moment!
Deletei have had the pleasure of trying your soaps and i loved them!
ReplyDeleterose and lavender : )
many of my friends and family only use liquid soaps but i have a fondness for solids/soap bars. i simply like it much better and as a bonus i also find it more economical and good for the environment.
do you have a favourite soap bar tracy? is that last one with calendula?
ps: i am drinking delicious jasmine tea now gifted to me by a kind and generous far away friend!
Thank you Vibeke! I think that I am torn between rosemary, ocean rain, and peony as my favorite scents! Yes - the last photo is soap made with calendula blossoms - wonderful eye! The scent is white tea and ginger. Calendula is one of the few botanicals that does not turn brown in cold-processed soap.
DeleteSo glad you are enjoying your tea!
