Little Ouchies

 I mentioned yesterday that I was not happy about the cut I got on my thumb on Monday. I've got spinning to do and boo boos slow you down. Here is the culprit. I was making soap when I cut myself on the broken lid of a fragrance oil. I must also mention that I got a giant papercut on the pinkie on the same hand last night. AND that I stuck a pair of scissors into the side of the same thumb trying to open a package yesterday. Am I a klutz or what?



 I'll forgive the bottle because it's one of my favorites. Witches Brew.



 I love this fragrance. I did a happy dance in Yankee Candle last year when I realized this was a knock off of one of their Halloween scents.



Twigs and Berries is another fall favorite of mine but it was a messy pour. You have to let the batter rest long enough to thicken to get a nice definition of color but I got impatient and it shows. Lesson learned. Slow it down.


Now they sit until the last week of August when I will start testing them. I've got lots more fall scents to make so I hope you are using up your bits and pieces for the fall giveaway in late September. I can't wait!

  1. Oh my goodness! You sound like me. I'm a "super klutz"! I hope all of your boo-boos are healing. I love the messy pour and think it's beautiful. It's amazing to me that you can wait so long you send it. I know I would be too impatient to wait that long.
    Blessings,

  5. Good grief! Please be careful of your talented hands! "Cuts and scissors stabbing" - that sounds like a murder mystery title!
    Excited about your new soaps - Witches Brew is a wonderful fragrance. I shared the last samples with my 18 year-old granddaughter and she said she "felt so pampered"! Stay well and keep spinning!
