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.

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.

Hi Elizabeth,
Love all of your projects. Where in Ohio are you? Are you talking about the big Ren Fest in central-ish ohio? Can't think of the town right now, by the Prime Outlets...

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!

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.

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!

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.
