Cleaning up...

Now that jam season is waning, I've turned my crafty eyes towards new projects. Saturday night and Sunday morning were spent making soap.

I love the smell of my oatmeal cookie concoction, so leaped at a chance to make some for mom to take to work. I used an olive oil soap base which gave me a beautiful canvas for the floating oatmeal and spices.

I created a new kitchen soap while picking herbs in my yard. I used rosemary (a natural antibacterial), mint and lemon zest to produce a beautiful, fresh-smelling soap. I'm thinking about starting an Etsy shop to sell these as well as my jams. I'll have to look into it...
Please note that I am now the proud owner of a zester thanks to Danielle and Adam. (Well...I have a sneaking suspicion that it more Danielle's doing than Adam's.)
