Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am trying to get caught up with the small things that I keep putting to one side so here I am sitting in front of the TV typing up this ramble. I like to take a break on Sunday afternoons and watch some of the old movies on TV but nothing says I can't type as I keep one I on the TV. Of course I can as I am woman. Actually that is the only way I get any family history done or even my bookwork if I had any that needed doing.
I did my first Market well not really I set my products up on the Friday and packed them up after the Market finished on Saturday. Funnily enough it was a Xmas in July Market. It felt strange not being there but the organizers were being very cautious with this Covid virus and so some of the stall holders had to stay away as it was an inside market. It was a start and seeing that many of the Markets I now do have been cancelled I was pleased to be there. The set ups were absolutely beautiful so can't wait until December when we do the real Xmas one.
It has been very quiet in the Soap Shed since my last Ramble but this week I had 2 large orders placed which has made up for the quiet time. I have to get busy now and start making a few more soaps that are getting low in numbers and some Lip Balms as well. I want to get them done before I have my cataracts removed later this month as trying to make soap with one eye covered could be a recipe for disaster.
I have still been trying to do a daily product post just to keep reminding everyone I am still here and to show what I make. Have finished all the shapes and am now doing the different Luxury Soaps. I hope you are seeing them.
The weather here is very mild for winter so my garden is not getting frosted off. i think we have only had one small frost that nipped the sweet potatoes but they have to be dug up anyway so doesn't matter. I have tomatoes and cabbages plus strawberries growing in the green house and I wrap a hard plastic around it at night just in case. The winds have been terrible here so have had to keep the water upto everything. We still have tank water so that is a plus. I want to get some plants for spring planting soon mainly flowers so my little native bees can make their honey to feed themselves next winter. They have done really well last summer but need to as some of these cold windy days they don't get out of the hive.
Little Mac is improving with his special diet and no tidbits from us. He hasn't had anymore fits or belly aches. The vet still doesn't know what was the matter but if it happens again she wants to refer him to the university and for him to see the specialists there. He is back at Doggy Playgroup and loving it as usual doesn't come home nearly as worn out so that is a good thing.
Well that is all I have to ramble about so remember to stay safe and wash your hands with handmade soap it is the Best hand sanitiser,
Take Care and be Kind to each other.
Blessings
