Goat Milk and Shea Butter Soaps- Great Stocking Stuffers!

I'm excited to introduce a new section in my shop - Bath .n. Body. There will be soap, crocheted bath linens, and gift sets.

These beautiful hand poured soaps, made from high quality goat milk and shea butter soap bases are the best I've used. The lather is rich, creamy, mild, and highly moisturizing and the ingredients are all natural.

The scents are out of this world and last all the way down to the last slither. For those with sensitive skin, I'll be carrying milder, less fragrant, and fragrance free soaps.

Every bar is shrinked wrapped immediately after hardening to preserve freshness.

This is For You!!

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy.
They just promised it would be worth it. Friends are like balloons.
Once you let them go, you can't get them back.
So I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

Snag these balloons and send to your friends!

The Buzzard, Bee, and Bumblebee

If you put
a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the
top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner.
The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with
a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will
not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small
jail with no top.

The ordinary bat that flies around
at night, a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from
a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can
do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches
some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air.

Then, at once,
it takes off like a flash.

A bumblebee, if dropped into an open
tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never
sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find
some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where
none exists, until it completely destroys itself.

In many ways, we are like the buzzard,
the bat, and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems
and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up!
That's the answer, the escape route and the solution to any problem!
Just look up.

Sorrow looks back, Worry
looks around,

But faith looks up!

NEW Romantic Shabby Rose Pouches

I ordered 20 skeins of Bucilla Birchwood yarn. Its thick and thin but not the weight I thought, so I had to come up with something to use it for, so here it is.

This pouch is 5", it's roomy inside- enough for flip cell phones, coins, credit cards, tea, etc., and they have a romantic feel. More lacy designs, shapes, sizes, and colors coming soon!
