I was just swapping consignment horror stories with a friend this morning and I decided that maybe it's time I shared mine. I wanted it to not sting as much before I went and said something publicly, for fear I'd say too much, but the burn is never going to go away. Let's just ease… Continue reading A Few Cautionary Tales

Making Crafty Magic
I've been on a creation kick lately and I thought I'd share with you some of the things that I've made, just for crafts and giggles.
Hall & Oats-n-Honey
Today, I'm offering a peek into the creation of Hall & Oats-n-Honey Soap. This is the most gentle soap I make. It's unscented and uses the most simple, basic ingredients one can find at a grocery store: organic coconut milk, oats, and honey (you could even use olive oil from the store as your soap… Continue reading Hall & Oats-n-Honey
Where the magic happens
As promised, here are some photos of my kitchen. Feel free to click on them to enlarge your view. This is where all the good stuff gets made--like beer, soap, salves and such. The dining room table doubles as my sewing table and it conveniently folds up so I can actually set up my reiki… Continue reading Where the magic happens

I'm already at an emotional disadvantage because I told my better half that I needed October off to get my head on straight and now I find myself laid up with a sinus infection from hell… Continue reading Building more than I burn
The T-shirt Rug
I thoroughly enjoy making quilts out of t-shirts. I would like to submit Exhibit A, B, and C into evidence: And although t-shirt quilt making is totally awesome, it generates a lot of waste. If you're like me, you feel bad throwing out all that good fabric so you hoard it. You hoard it to… Continue reading The T-shirt Rug
Where is my mind?
http://youtu.be/Y001O8Azj1U Today I engaged in some soap photography (aka soapy porn) for my Etsy shop and I couldn't help but chuckle at how humorously absurd I am sometimes. Here I am, freshly moved into my new apartment, the neighbors don't know who the heck I am and I'm on my porch wearing Mrs. Roper's muumuu… Continue reading Where is my mind?

You can find me at the Saugerties Farmers Market tomorrow from 10 am to 2 pm. This will be my first market since I've returned from the wild west. Yay! It's good to be back. I'm dying to make some room in my tiny new apartment so salves will be marked down (from $8.50 to… Continue reading Deals Galore Tomorrow
