These are random projects and things I have been working on.
Apron Addiction
Berry Basket
Lemon Verbena Soap
Inner Peace, Honey & Lavender soaps
I am also working on a 16th century dress in red silk from a painting, a big tote bag, I just need to line it and figure out what kind of straps I want on it, a wrap style baby sling, and I still need to make about 200 lbs of soap...
But I will be posting more pictures as I finish and find other things to put on my plate.

I agree. such cute things.
Speaking of soap. My Mom and Grandmothers use to make that nasty lye soap. I hated to use it.It always was to greasy feeling to me.
And when I tried to bath with it I never felt quite clean.

Such cute stuff! I would love to make soap like that. I've only made the old fashioned lye soap that granny used to make. No frills, lol. The berries are adorable!

Jess,
RenFair runs Sept thru Oct. We will be building this Summer, so I am not sure where we will be or what aour building will look like.
Megan, I have been in Columbus since 1991. I have been on the hill top for the past 4 years, but I lived in the short north for 8 years and loved it. But at this point, we can not afford to buy in that area. My soaps & candles are in the north market at Better Earth. I do love to go gat lunch there.
The berry basket is growing so! I am kinda addicted to making these. They are totally easy, and you can use up all of the little bits of fabric left over from other projects.

I've been to it a few times. We have a lot of kids so it gets a little pricey but they love it. I was in Columbus for a long time until about two years ago. Now we live only 30 minutes east of Columbus. Have you been there long? I miss some things even though we aren't far. Just went to the North Market last weekend! |

We did out local Viking festival...
2 Viking guys in front of my booth with my 3 yr old.
The shirt my son is wearing I made. I need to make 12 more of these. 4 each for my 2 sons and DH before we start the regular RenFest in Sept. That will be a shirt and a spare each for a weekend. Since it is Horrible Horrible Hot in Sept, I make them out of 100% linen. It seems to be the coolest and geeze Linen wears like iron. The Hat was made by a soapmaker friend in the San Fran area. She knit one for each of the boys... I just love them.
