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!

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

[Christian]

Thanks Em and Ygerna

 

Have been busy all week, so will post more pictures and update soon

It's sickening isn't it? But would you LOOK at the state of his fingernails! Tut tut!

 

I megaheart his scotties and candles.

I was trialling a new type of potatoes for Thompson & Morgan

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

Yeah yeah yeah! Time to start trialling some homemade hand scrubs, methinks!

[Christian]

Funny you should say that...... http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2009/05/mothers_day_homemade_hand_scru.html

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?

[Christian]

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.

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

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!

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).

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.
