What great options for a zesty smell. Thank you all for some ideas.

My dear heart came home from work to eat lunch with me today and was talking about me needing to get busy and make another batch of Fisherman's/Hunter's soap and he would like me to make some Mechanic's Soap with a zesty smelling essential oil. My response to him was, "Look at you talking like...

Beautiful. Love the white leaves.

Fishermans - Hunters soap for my crew of sons, husband and his friends. Coconut Oil, 20% super fat. Used Anise Oil, some Cedarwood and Black Pepper Essential Oil. They didn't want to wait for it to fully cure so they grabbed one last weekend when they processed a deer and loved it. Made me smile.

I make a herbal infusion with distilled water for my herbal soap of dried chocolate mint, calendula, lavender, rose petals, chamomile, plaintan and violet leaves. I pour boiling water over the leaves, cover and let sit overnight, strain out and it is good to go for my batch of soap. If I have...

First stained glass piece was a parrot. My step-mother got him. First attempt in copper. A butterfly. My grandson latched onto it. Misc. pieces that are just hanging out.

Galaxy, I love working with copper wire and copper sheeting. Nothing fancy just what my hands and imagination can come up with. Trying my hand this past year at it. There is so much I want to try. Really interested in yard art for summer. My children and family members have gotten a lot of...

I am a novice at stained glass. I don't sell the pieces that I made, just gave them as gifts.:) I can try to post a few of my crafts in the craft section. Being shy. I love this place. I find myself coming here reading instead of doing my work.

What a small world. Grinnell College is a very nice college and the Grinnell Steakhouse is top pick for my special place to eat. We are friends with the owner(s) and they pride themselves in homemade specialties. I love the farm life. Sometimes it seems like it is a lot of hard work. I think...
