How long 'til Christmas?

77 Days

14 Hours

44 Minutes


...But who's counting?

Heh. Right now I'm in the throes of soapmaking. I need to bind a quilt, then do a lap quilt with things from my stash plus this:

Then a baseball twin size.

Also, bind my DD's quilt. Or, make a ruffle. I'm leaning toward ruffle.

I bet soapmaking is fun, do you sell your soap?

I do, I do! Since it's cold process I've gotta get it done NOW so it has time to cure.

Right now I'm about 300 bars short of what I want. :lol:

Noooooo worries, right?

Ugh!!! Someone take that counter away from craftybear!

I am making a noose and hanging myself I will never get everything done in 77 days.

One year I helped a friend make soap for his children. It was a tradition that the kids always got handcrafted gifts, and he had just divorced his wife, so he was on his own. We made soap in bars and different molds. I got hooked. Now I have all this soapmaking stuff to do something with.

We needed to wrap the soap in something, so I made little drawstring pouches from some cute Christmas fabric. He included a hand carved Santa in the gift, since he loved to work with wood. He passed away a few months after Christmas due to lung cancer. His 3 kids treasure that Santa and soap, knowing that he took the time and interest to do it all on his own. :)

^^^Awwww, that's such a lovely story! :D

what a nice story, thanks for sharing with us
