What I made today

I have way missed doing any kind of art journaling these  days. Our treadmill is broke down. The treadmill sits in the middle of my craft area. So I though I would do a quick and easy tag.

I have also been wanting to try making some things that I saw youtube videos on. The first is a bracelet. The tutorial is here. The bracelet was fun and pretty easy to do.

The second tutorial was on making some bling rings. I tried making a few, but my beads are either way to small or to big for me. I grabbed a silver flower bead to try. Since I was using silver wire I thought it would look good. Here it is. The are other tutorials on wrapping rocks or crystals I might try too. They are fun and super easy to make, I for sure will be making more.

New granny square

I decided to start out a new granny square blanket. Since I have been crocheting like crazy these days I thought I would start another one.

Valentines bunting

I saw this cute bunting and I wanted to make one to put across my front bay window. Here is where I got the pattern.

All the yarns I used were these super saver yarns. I did want to make mine to be bigger, so I switched out the 4mm hook that the pattern call for, for the size 11.50mm P hook.

Waiting for the first of the month to hang it up.

Peppermint Rosemary soap

Today I am making a herbal soap. It is scented with peppermint & rosemary essential oils.
I also wanted to make it with a  herbs in it. So I decided to have the bottom layer be the main layer and a smaller layer on top of that with some herbs mixed in. I added some green to the bottom layer and titanium dioxide to the top layer to make it be more white. Then I added some ground peppermint leaves to the top layer and mixed it up. This is what it is looking like so far.

I put all of the green colored soap on the bottom layer. Then started gently adding the peppermint leaf soap on top of that.

I will post a pic later when its ready.

Here it is :)
