Next, Jessi sent me some of Melanie's awesome plum silk/rayon yarn that she made her Ophelia with. Not just some, but a pound! It's gorgeous and what was at the bottom of the box-two of the cutest toggles for bracelets I have ever seen. Yes, that is a teapot and spoon! Adorable or what???? I can now do the beaded macrame bracelets Fiona has been egging me on to do. Thank you sweetie, I cannot wait to make my Ophelia, although it surely will look better on you than me!
I am still working on the tote bag. I freaking hate the sc and have ten rows left of sc, but didn't touch it all day. I did, however, wind the two tie-dyed yarn I did the other day. I need a swift, honestly. I tried wrapping the hanks around a chair, my neck and finally my bent knee as I sat at an angle that no one sits in to be comfortable and used my winder (after I blew the dust off of it). Now I just have to wind the two egg dye dyed hanks tomorrow (not dry yet). I also took my soap loaf out of it's wooden mold and left it on the rack to cure a bit before I slice down the first bars to let them cure. I was a bit rusty in my soap making yesterday (plus the power went out in the middle), so it's not as firm as I prefer, but hopefully, with some extra curing, it'll be fine. If not, I'll mill it down and rebatch it again (which I don't want to do, but I don't waste any of the soap stuff). I did Lavender yesterday and don't know what I'll do next week. Either more lavender or green tea mint. I have some mica for coloring I can add to the green tea, but then that kinda takes away the "no colorings or additives" thing-that and I have to find where I put it.
Well, I'm off to work on the bag and ward off evil viruses...........

What size is the bag of peas? Here is a site that sells them a little over $1 a bag, but you have to buy 12. http://www.quickspice.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/scstore/snack-calbee.shtml?E+scstore

*making cute begging face* - I know you really hate making this soap - but I'm wondering what kind of arm twisting/trading/coughing up of funds I'd have to do to get a bar or two of the green tea mint sent my way. It sounds divine!!
Yarn is gorgeous!
Peas...hm, they sound yummy and like Elizabeth...you are making me want some...where do I find them?
love lavendar...I have some dried lavendar I can send you...will you make it into soap? I obviously don't know what the hell I am talking about, but I do have a lot of dried lavendar.
Poor Elena and you- Three words for ya... Antibacterial Hand Gel, and an extra- Lysol. Those two will kill anything floating in the air or around the house. Including on hands LOL
Glad you liked it all :) I so loved the toggles. So now you have entered the world of snow peas, eh? Yes, we all have Joy to thank fo it ;) Hehe. Hope Elena feels better.
