Nesting

My friend Sylvia came in the shop for a visit today. She was telling me about some Fall redecorating she completed on her home. It sounds lovely! Lots of pumpkins and warm, cozy colors.

I always nest this time of year. The cooler weather makes me want to create a cozy, warm feeling in my home. I dream of nights in front of the fire, eating big bowls of hearty soup with my family. David is a master bread baker, and I look forward to trying his delicious creations.

David requested some new slippers, so I made a black and white cotton pair to keep his feet warm and comfy. I enjoyed making them so much that I made several others, and they are now available in my Etsy store.

I am currently working on new hats and scarves, and will be listing daily. What are you working on lately?

Have a great weekend!

Face Scrub

We often have customers ask if we carry a face scrub. Well, not yet. Mostly because it is so easy to make your own at home. I use a recipe similar to this one, and substitute whatever oils I have on hand. You can adjust it to suit your skin.

My mother and grandmother both had gorgeous skin, and both swore by simple egg white facials. Simply brush egg whites on your face, let dry, and then rinse off. Your skin will feel firm and soft.

What simple skincare routines do you follow?

Cooler Weather Means Crochet Time!

The weather has been a bit cooler here in Missouri, and I have been crocheting like mad. The scarf in the picture above is sold, but there are still lots of fresh hats and scarves in the store. Stop by and see what's new!
