tunisian stitch cardi for larger niece by me.......almost finished....? adapted this pattern to tunisian stitch. have promised it finished when i visit this weekend... better pull my socks up and get buttons sewn on! this niece who is now 4, was the crash test dummie for our balm for baby bottoms. her small sister is using it too, she is not quite 1.

photo on niece soon??!....if shes not too shy?

detail of top of hat i made last winter and tunisian hooks i made shaped with sharp stanley from 8mm + 6mm dowel. they are about 400mm long to hold lots of stitches. there are no craft shops here, only a co-op farm supply shop, so if you want a tool you have to make one!


some other felted tunisian bags made last winter sitting by the fire....must be autumn...thinking about knitting things, sharpening the axe and getting more firewood

op shop ginger jar in the bathroom just for looking at

the 'lab'

the glamourous bit

what i should have been doing instead of etsy
catching up with making stock and orders..... today made:
56 rose geranium lotions
83 rose hip creams
30 litres castile hand and shower gel
30 litres bulk hair conditioner
57 blue chamomile lotions

the essential oil stash

the cooking of the castile......
usually 6-10 hours in a double boiler

the product at everest base camp with a customer...gasp!!
....what a thrill to see this !!
they thought to do this for me ???
when they were at mt everest ?????
made me feel i was there too when they gave me this photo

the vinegar label against my green kitchen wall

the buttons i bought from mr wiccked
will have to knit something this winter

maybe something green...?
the same colour as this hat i made last winter?
