The Weekend Went By WAY Too Quick..........

The weekend went by SO quickly.......I decided Friday night that I wasn't  NOT going to do any chores all weekend and simply watch dvds and crochet !!!!!! I had a blast ......plus i gave my foot and leg a much needed break.I crocheted a fun butterfly button bracelet and several Witchy Halloween hats that I put over in my Etsy store.I am working on a fun hat that will have a steampunk ghost on it . I will get pics when i finish it up. I cut the grass after work this afternoon so i may not get much more done :(
I watched season 1 of Vampire Diaries so I would be ready to see Season 2 from Netflix here in few weeks and watched a couple of episodes of Beign  Human . Being  Human is ok ........not as good as Vampire Diaries though.
I baked cookies and the only chore I did was pick corn before the coons got it and boiled it all up.Tonight I will cut it off the cob and freeze till time to make corn puddings with it for the holidays .

Waiting on grass to dry

Since I am waiting on the grass to dry out after the heavy overnight storms..I decided a bit of movie watching and some crocheting was called for. I made 2 more Witchy Halloween Hats to sell in my Etsy store ....One is another blue n white one ( first one sold yesterday ) and then this fun    fall colored one . ( kinda matches my fall soaps I made too )

Simple Ways i Use to Add Color and Textures to My CP soap

I had a fun afternoon of making soap Saturday. I had planned to       do alot of yardwork and paint the cabinets also...but that didnt happen :). I did get 9 pounds of soap made at least. First i dug out the bag of soap bars that folks had given me at one time or another  . I dont like the soap you buy at the store.......But i do save it to break up and add colors to my CP lye soap. Trick to that is to stir in in after you pour your batch . If you just lay it down in the pan first it is kinda grainy on bottom of the bars, Plus if you stir it in.makes wonderful color blocks  all thru the bars. I put the bars in a baggie and take my hammer and tap them few times and it breaks up in seconds... Then next i take my **fancy** molds..aka. metal cookie tins and line with parchment paper . I actually do have 1 wooden soap mold that i use on occasion but i prefer the cookie tins actually . Whichever mold one uses BE SURE to line with parchment paper BEFORE you start making your CP soap batch . I love to use dried flower petals for color on top my soap also . I used blue mala flowers and sunflower petals and rose petals and orange lily petals . All had been dried before use

Witchy Halloween Hats

It has been another one of those long weeks ..........been doing some crocheting to relax and unwind.I just love to crochet witchy Halloween hats.They take about 4 hours to make one and give me a reason to curl up on the couch and relax :) I am also wanting to use up my yarn stash. Trying to declutter more on crafting projects before winter gets here. I want to focus on locker hooking rugs for the winter . I have a dog bed to make in next week or two plus I want to make my lapquilt with the fox hunting fabric I got on sale several years ago at Hancocks.
The hats are all for sale for 21.99 each plus 7.95 for priority shipping .............they are in my Etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/shadowsofthegoddess?ref=si_shop    
I have enough yarn left for 3 or 4 more hats .......planning on crocheting them up in the coming week :)
