It was fun! And was also fun making all the soap before hand. It looks soooo cute when you have a bunch of strawberry cheesecakes and cookies all together :) Plus the kitchen was all full of good smells as if I were baking but nothing fattening here. Phew!

In the end I also made up lots of labels and business cards and put up a little web page. I will be updating it at some point with individual pics of all the types of soap I make, but for now it is a holder and a way to contact me if you want to place an order or what not. Anywho I am so far loving making soap even though I ran out of time to make my whipped shea butter and lip balms I will still be doing it at some point. yay soap! (p.s. I do still knit, see the little face cloths under some of the soap?)

But up to the same old projects here and there and have lots of pics I never seem to upload. Mainly I have been watching me a lot of olympics lately and knitting a giant scarf while doing so. Am hoping to finish the scarf during the olympics so that I don't let it fall to the wayside and have another unfinished item on my hands :) Here's hoping...

Oops!!! Presenting my not so sheer poncho anymore. I tried washing in cold water on the hand wash cycle of the machine today, turns out jagger spun zephyr yarn felts even under those gentle conditions, next time I will have to wash by actual hand only!!! Even though it used to be a nice soft shoulder cover up, the fabric came out super even and pretty and so it does kinda work as a neck warmer. Not a total waste.
