A Sunny Saturday

Good morning! You know where I'll be!

Be The Change

Doing the last minute prepping for tomorrow's event. If you're nearby, stop by and see me at Whynot Pottery. Otherwise, please visit my etsy shop, and be the change you wish to see in the world. Happy Friday, friends!

Summer Fun

I took a day to play on Monday. My nieces and nephew had a grand time tubing, and all had their first try at skiing. A day on the water was just what I needed!
I've been getting soaps ready for this Saturday's Seagrove Potters for Peace, the proceeds of which will go to Central Asia Institute. If you haven't read Greg Mortenson's Three Cups of Tea, do so and prepare to be inspired. He's an excellent example of what one person can do to make a difference.

Coffee, Tea and Peace

The latest batch of Kitchen Thyme soap came out well. There's just a slight amount of free oil on the surface, but it didn't seize like all the previous batches. The culprit seems to be the thyme oil, as this time, I greatly decreased the amount, and tried some new essential oils. I made some mega-strong coffee for the liquid portion, but the coffee smell gets lost underneath the essential oils. It's a nice looking bar, and different from all the others, which I like. I'm a happy camper! I may think about changing its' name, though. Any thoughts?

Jennie's post yesterday reminded me of the upcoming Seagrove Potters for Peace. Last year, I was in the process of creating my green tea soap, and didn't have it in time for this event. This year, I plan to join in. Greg Mortenson's book, Three Cups of Tea, is a good read. And he's figured out how to make a difference in many lives. Hmmm, it just occurred to me that I can do something, not only locally, but on my etsy site. I'll donate online Green Tea Facial Bar profits to this as well. The thought of that makes me happy! Wishing you a happy day!
