craftyhunnypie Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 That's crafty in a good way...in other words making things! I can't believe some of the lovely stuff he makes. I've just been looking at his blog. From jams & chutneys, to cushions & doggie pin cushions, to candles & wheat bags! Keep the ideas coming Christian - they are excellent & a real inspiration as to what we can all make for prezzies this Christmas. Amazing!

Ygerna Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Its funny you should mention this, as I took a peep at his blog today for the first time and I too was completely stunned by the things he makes. I am now following his blog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygerna Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Wow, that looks terrifically easy. I am looking for activities for our school fair this year. Each class is going to make items to sell, and this looks like a winner to me How long do you think the shelf life of this would be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Don't know Ygerna, that was the only thing I wasn't sure about. There is another scrub recipe in the 'grow your own drugs' book I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 ive just made this scrub it smells divine im going to see if it does last, but Ive put it into small (tiny) jam jars , so its only going to be a small amount lost if it doesnt last i think i might give it away now and see what people think, then do another one closer to christmas cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Christian you are WELL naughty! I used to use plain sea salt in the shower. I'm addicted to Lush's Ocean Scrub which is an essential oils and salt scrub. I might give this a go when I'm out of that. It does sound rather Springtimetastic!

Valkyrie Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I don't know how you find time to do all these things Christian - and working too! I am ashamed of myself - must go and do something in the concrete dirt (our ground is clay and a little chalk and flint at the moment it is rock hard with huge cracks - looks like an earthquake - and I haven't even been skipping yet - my next exercise plan).

Christian Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I work 75% Koojie, so get one week off every 3. It is my saviour from the grinds of the airport and the general public So with days off, part time week and leave I try and do 14-15 days work a month, which gives me time for other stuff, like gardening (been very bad at that this year ), crafting etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
