I am feeling accomplished this week as have made heaps of soap 5 logs and 3 rounds plus some hearts, also been on a day trip to my supplier and now am making body butters for a wholesale order. Good to keep busy.
In the middle of my getting all this done we have been getting some lovely rain including one that had gale force winds that destroyed a few homes in a town that we shop in not far from here.
Had to call over there about 20 minutes away from home yesterday for prescriptions and could not believe my eyes as there were trees down everywhere and others snapped off up fairly high and hanging down. There was a veritable mountain of green waste piled up just out of town and an army of people shredding it for mulch. We did not drive around garping at everything all this was seen as we made our way to the shopping centre and back out the way we had come. My heart goes out to the people who are affected by this disaster and I will be seeing what I can do or give to help them. I thank God we were only on the edge of this storm and so sustained no damage as what winds we had I thought was bad enough.
I did however rescue a baby butcher bird and "butch" has been entertaining us ever since. He was so young that he had the fluff still on his head and looked like one of those penguins. I now have to find him a carer as I only kept him to fill him up (he was starving) and make sure he survived. He is doing well now so time to go to someone who knows what they are doing with him.
We are off to a new Market this weekend as I have been accepted into the Toowoomba Farmers Market on at the showground so if you are in the are pop out and see us and have a chat and maybe start your Christmas Shopping as it is that time again.
We can make up a lovely Gift Pack right there and you get to choose what you have in it just have to ask. Also soap makes a wonderful small gift for Teachers as School Year is also near.
Well I am off to the soap room to finish making the Body Butter and then give the room a good clean.
Hope you all have a wonderful day and remember be kind to each other.
Blessings.
