I was unable to work between December & April due to a breakdown. Every single RT here helps put my creative & mental health workshops in front of more eyes & helps me get back on my feet financially. It would help *so* much if you could RT my workshop below if you have a few seconds. Thankyou 🌿
My 14 June botanical illustration & mental health w'shop's now enrolling
I'll teach you:
🌿How to break down plants into simple shapes & add shading
🧠How time spent creatively alters brain biochemistry to improve mental health.

Couldn't resist, and couldn't go any further down this trail.

Unmolded a Ciaglia soap this weekend. It's made with scraps and trimmings from previous soaps - recycling at its finest! Scented with Aloe & Green Clover; it the perfect scent for this soap!

Our Avocado Mint Foot Cream has been one of our best selling creams over the years. I've had customers asking for it and it was finally time to make it again. It feels good to be back in the soap kitchen and making product!

Our Cucumber Mint is a mild soap that's made with cocoa, shea, and mango butters and scented with a lively blend of Peppermint, Spearmint, with just a few drops of Wintergreen, and made with one whole cucumber. If this doesn't wake you up, nothing will!

My first round of soap making before my first market (Feb 16) is finished. Now, I need to concentrate on a few bath & body products that customers have been asking for, foot products in particular.

Been busy making soaps for our first market of the season, coming in February. One of the first made is our Goat Milk & Lavender, a perennial favourite (yup, I'm Canadian)

I stand by it! The naughty list is injustice. More presents for naughty kids!

(Naughty originally meant “poor,” or literally “nothing-y”/“having nothing,” and became a pejorative via the implication that lower-class people are somehow less moral.)
"Santa is such a jerk." quote of the year by @jesszafarris.bsky.social

Hard to disagree on that one.
