Week In Review - November 29 - December 5
It's been a really busy week -
- Led the final write-in for NaNoWriMo
- Lady K to dentist
- Toured day care center for Lady K to start on January 4
- First Friday at 1+1=1 Gallery for ornament making
- Worked on Clues 1 and 2 for the Mystery Quilt
- Mailed my swap gift for the Chaotic Goddess 12 Days of Christmas Swap
- Working on ideas for my 2016 planner
- Wrote 7 posts
- Finished 2 books
- Walked 60,223 steps or 27.54 miles
But the 'biggie' was this -
Tuesday was shopping for the remainder of the ingredients and then creating several different bath and body products.
The following was made -
- Gingerbread Bath Scrubs
- Bath bombs in 3 fragrances
- Peppermint Bath Salts
- Coffee Scrub
- Candles
- Vanilla Scrub
- Coconut Oil Scrub
All the items were pretty easy to do, but the most time intensive (which wasn't much) was the bath bombs. I filled my gifting requirement and then Texter raided it for gifts for about 5 people. I have managed to salvage some of the 'rejects' and partially filled containers for my own use. I have fallen in love with coconut oil!
My bath bombs were molded in plastic Christmas ornaments you can pull apart. And of course, I had my helper.
And "the chair"...
Lady K has learned to move the chair to whatever location she needs to 'supervise'. I am learning to dread the sound of scraping on the wooden wood, because I know someone will be right up under me in a matter of moments. It can be at my desk, in the kitchen or at my sewing table. I will have "The Chair" and "Helpin' " shortly.
For me, the coming week is fairly quiet. However, Texter has a full week. A couple of days of test taking and the semester will be over for her. Finalize packing for her and Lady K to go to South Carolina for Christmas. Next Saturday morning, EARLY, they will board a flight and then I will be on my own until the 29th! Lots of reading, sewing, crafting going on while they are gone. Maybe a jigsaw puzzle since little hands won't be there to remove pieces.
Those bath bombs are so pretty! You've been busy!
