Ahh... getting ready to cut my first ever piece of silk satin. I'm rarely afraid of fabrics but this is one of them! I'm only making a hat but still, it's such expensive fabric I'm terrified to waste it. I could really use a costuming buddy here to hold my hand while I cut.

Okay deep breaths - wish me luck...

You know I'd have a lot more done on this beaded top if I didn't keep taking out and redoing sections that are slightly "off" or not quite right. *shakes head* Stop it Jenny.

All my guests/costuming buddies are gone.

What is it about handsewing eyelets that is so incredibly mind-numbing?

I'm sorry but this is just too much fun - those are some very lucky kidlets!

I was wondering...

Have any of you made scented bath or body oil? It's something we are thinking of doing at the church's women's retreat in Oct and I've been tasked to look for recipes/supplies online. I was wondering if you'all have any good suppliers, tips or suggestions for me?

*looks hopeful*
