Can I have Pepsi now ????




Here are the pics of the pineapple /mango soap I made last week. I have it all wrapped and it will be for sale here in about 2 weeks . I am setting up an 8ft booth table so if i do an Oct event I will have an idea of what I will need .


I just poured 6 pounds soap in various colors and have it curing .. Will get pics of them when i unmold later on. I have been So wanting a pepsi on this diet of mine so I cut all the grass and did a 3 mile walk already today ...... I think i will treat myself to a pepsi now :) Later this evening I will work on tatting the lapquilt up. I am waiting on the fishing fabric to get here .....but I can have it all done up and tatted cause I am blanket stitching the fishing fabric in middle of the choc. brown fabric . It is turning out nice and heavy since I am using all upholstery fabric and has an old quilt inside for the batting.

Flyfishing lapquilt ..




Added sept. 6th. Finished the lapquilt. Love the way it turned out ....






The creative thoughts are flying thru my head once again . I am getting back in gear with my crafting. I ordered some orange and black oxides yesterday to make confetti lye soap with . Cant wait till it gets here.I want to make the soap with actual canned pumpkin like Bonne made and i loved so much...... I have some fly fishing upholstery fabric ordered from hancocks to make a friend a lapquilt for teaching me to fly fish. Though I am crazy for giving 34.99 yd for piece of waverly fabric . It is very elegant in design ...fishing and elegance is hard to find in fabirc believe me ! I ordered 1 yd and i will use other solid color upholstery fabric for rest of the quilt .The waverly fabric will take 2 weeks to get here though. I found a vintage pc of hunting fabric on ebay to do the back part of lapquilt with. I want a different scene on each side of the quilt .This piece of hunting fabric with the black poowder rifles is a piece from 1978 . Cant wait till they get here and I can start on it ...
