I got around to doing some soapmaking last night, finally! :)
Made 1 batch of shampoo bars and 1 batch of soap bars.
Rosemary mint shampoo bars. I want to see if I like the hand feel of the smaller bars compared to the donut size.
Made some larger size ones too.
I'll clean them up later once they've cooled and set. I let it go to trace a little too thick because I didn't have the molds set up proper before hand and panicked a bit haha
Almost castile soap bars (olive oil, castor oil) i added in some red mica soap coloring.
As well, Thought I'd share a small update on the shampoo bars themselves,
This is what's currently left of the first batch i made, I quite like it so far and am at this time planning to fully switch permanently. Switching again to bar was a bit weird cause most other shampoo bars have really dried out my hair Within a fairly short time.
This so far hasn't done that. There's still that weird feel between wet to dry, but once dry, hairs nice and soft. Not to snarly and is managable.
I did stop using the conditioner bar, it is nice on occasion but not quite manageable with my hair type. Made my hair brush very very linty and my hair more snarled the day after even with rebrushing and braiding the night before. I did find i liked the conditioner bar a lot for dry cracked winter skin so I suppose that's a win and a future gift idea.
Bonus, I've been able to work on some quilt repair the last couple weeks.
i like to use blue thread and scraps to repair quilts.
Its been a bit challenging doing this by machine, but it has gone by a lot faster than by hand. So for now, I'll keep rolling with it :) after this repair work is done i intend to start binding the next quilt I'm working on.
Thanks for stopping by!

#scrapquilt #handquilting #ReuseRecycle
One of my current wips... trying to finally finish this quilt after losing sight of it for very long. First time really handquilting patterns; you can see my blue guide spots that will wash out. And red basting which I will pull when finished. Again the whole thing is handstitched. Top is repurposed fabrics. Only the backing fuzzy blanket was specially bought. No batting in between. Im looking forward to seeing this getting done but it's still quite a ways as it's slow slow going. ... I love all the little puckering and was listening to some older Seamside Podcast conversations to learn that this is usually not a desired trait. Hahahaha... one more proof in kind that I havent learned quilting "properly" and am just bumbling along as I like.

Finally sewing the last seam on my Color Grids quilt! Good thing I had no idea how long this would take when I started it, but it’s been a lot of fun and actually has used up some scraps. #artfulimprov #scrapquilt #useitup #workinprogress #konasolids #artquilts #quilting #improvdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWvohPqf3r/?utm_medium=tumblr

Queen Elizabeth the First’s navy on the high seas - this block is a variation of an oldie but goodie called “Medieval Walls”. I see the dark green diagonals as her ships and the bright yellow as the sails so I had to use that fun moda waves fabric as background - I HAD to. Also I didn’t have enough of ANY other fabric left because this the the final block in my Know Them Sampler!!! Wooo! Also that purple Prince fabric I love from cloud9 and the green from Birch fabrics. .. You can still grab this pattern for another week at Gruber’s website. Then next week will be the setting instructions and I should hopefully have hard copies back from the printer. ... #showmethemoda #cloud9fabrics #quilting #quiltersofinstagram #patchwork #patchworkquilt #scrapquilt #scrappyquilt #freequiltpattern #freequiltblockpatterns #grubersquiltshop @grubersquiltshop #organicfabric #organicfabrics #nothingexceedslikeexcess #knowthembethemraisethem #knowthemraisethembethem #knowthemqal #knowthemsampler #iwishwehadourownelizabeththefirst https://www.instagram.com/p/CF7mvJFn_8a/?igshid=d2tatcruqk27

Let the appliqué begin! Quilting makes me realize that I should have paid more attention in geometry and math, ESPECIALLY if I’m going to design my own Cathedral mandala quilt! Cutting a circle into 10 equal parts was a feat.... but when all else fails, YOUTUBE! I’ve been working on this 58”x58” art quilt since 3 AM, and can’t wait to get to appliqué all the pieces now that they are pinned. . . .

If you follow along on our Stories, you’ve seen the daily progress on our improv piecing. These two panels are from today and will join the other panels we’ve completed. Eventually, this will be one Ginormous Scrappy Improv Quilt… eventually. It takes a lot of little scraps to make whole panels of fabric. A. Lot. Luckily, we save all of the scraps from our own projects as well as our classes. And, from time to time, we are fortunate enough to raid a friend’s scrap bins for additional goodies. This is definitely not a quick project but we’re still loving every minute of it and we really love standing back and the end of a day and seeing how it all turned out. Have y’all done improv piecing before? ✂️ . . . #improvquilting #scrapquilt #lifewiththeshibaguyz #sewing #quilting #sewistsofinstagram #quiltersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #stayhomeandsew #stayhomeandcreate #fiberart #fiberartist #fiberartistsofinstagram #seattlefiberarts https://www.instagram.com/p/CAWdkuLpAC7/?igshid=128rc00sglrj4

Hey all, quick lil blurb as to what I've been up too recently.
Not much in The garden right now, but little by little the direct seeding is sprouting :) I'll post garden pics when there is a bit more growing and showing :)
Getting some layouts done for a future quilt, my baby helping figure out the layouts lol
A small either lap or infant quilt I think I'll peice together.
Both are made from new as well as repurposed/recycled fabric.
Some Halloween panels for a potential Halloween quilt, these are all new fabric, mostly cause finding spooky fabric from old clothes and linens is hard to do.
Super tiny post, hoping for more soon, so long as life doesn't get too hectic lol
🌱🌻Happy Homesteading! 🌻🌱

I found some vintage Opal Owl fabric from a cap set when I was looking for some fabric for a friend. I decided I would cut it into 10” squares for a double slice quilt. I am 4 squares short so supplemented with a few prints from my stash. Finn thought he would help. I have 2 soft cover books to sew too. I was so happy to cut it all up! Can’t wait to have time to sew it!! #scrapquilt #opalowl @sewtinagivens https://www.instagram.com/p/BwdqO7rnbTZ/?igshid=1vwhwslkybh1g
