Project Spectrum - August

Cotton Basket

I intended to use this basket to hold Sylvester's food stuff in the kitchen, but then we found some clearance basket sets at Wal*Mart, and that let us store his toys in the living room and his food in the kitchen in the same style baskets. Which I like, because our house is a very open floor plan, I like the stuff in the two rooms to match. I think since I'm not going to use it for his stuff, I'll either store fruit in it, or keep my knitting project that's down there stored in it.

Without further rambling, here's the finished Project Spectrum for July.

And a sneak peek of my current project is sitting behind the basket!

Project Spectrum - July

July was blue. It's still a work in progress, but I'm within five rows of finishing it. Will post pictures when I'm done. 

I'm not sure I ever posted about the June PS but I used all the green soaps we made. 

Soapy Thursday

Today was my kind of day. I got up and spent time with my little man while Dad slept after his last night shift, then Grandma came over and we played for a while and then Grandma and I got down to business and made a bunch of soap. The house smells delicious! After we were all soaped out, we went to grab a bite to eat, came home and Sly, Sylvester and I hopped in the pool. Came in and put Sylvester to bed and now I'm sipping on a Strawberry Daiquiri and goofing off online. Life. Is. Good.*

Here's the soaps we made today:

1. "Creamsicle" made with a Goats Milk base,
2. A lovely Lavender soap, with a bit of a shine. Also made with Goats Milk,
3. Rain Fresh made with a Avocado and Cucumber base, 
4. Sage with Olive Oil and Goats Milk layers,
5. Eucalyptus and Mint in a Almond and Goat Milk base,
6. Lavender Bath Salts,
7. Eucalyptus and Mint in a Olive Oil soap,
8. Cucumber, Basil and Melon in a Avocado and Cucumber soap.

I used my green soaps for my project spectrum this month. Just in time!

* I didn't even get out my PJ's until we went to dinner, then got right back in them. THAT makes for a good day.

Project Spectrum - May

I've decided on my project and it's only 8 days until the end of the month, go me! Nothing like waiting until the last minute. More to come later! I've got many projects in the works and I can't wait to share them.

P.S. I also want to put up some new pictures of my garden, which I hope to take tomorrow.
