another random one...

I have had this blog in my favourites for a while now.  She makes soy and beeswax candles.  I love soy candles.  A friend of mine made them and has now moved to Bowral (lucky girl).  I've often toyed with the idea of making them - just for when I need them.  Can I manage to take on anything else??  Probably not, now that I am keen to get some scrapping done (I have an A4 American Crafts album for Nicholas' school album!)  And of course a never ending list of sewing projects.  I've also joined Pintrest, but haven't had time to explore it yet.

I bought this adorable bundle of beeswax candles from her the other day.  I also bought two linen sachet of scented herbs.  And she sent lip balm she has made too.  I know what Maria sang "brown paper packages, tied up with string!"  I love them too.  ;)

The candles have arrived in time for Nicholas' birthday - which i need to get stuck into planning for...

I am also doing a photography course (only two weeks to go).  It has been a bit disappointing though - nothing like the "know you digital SLR" classes I was expecting.  Not what most of the class were expecting either, from the grumbles after each class.

One thing I am determined to do though, is go through ALL the photographs saved to our pc and delete those I don't really need to keep.  Which will then lead me to printing what I need for Audrey's first year album, Nicholas' school album and our Christmas album. Lots to do, but I'm in the mood for it so i had better seize the moment!

Oh, and the other day I saw some cute lavender filled strawberries... then I thought "I can do that!"  And proceeded to make 15!

  

And on Saturday night, it was lovely to see Nicholas and Dave make pasta together...

And it tasted beautiful too.
