Nutmeg Naturals: September 2011
http://nutmegnaturals.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 2, 2011. What I've been up to this week. It has been a busy week. First, hurricane Irene hit the state Sunday. We were without power for only a day, and we were able to clean up our flooded basement fairly easily. All in all, we were lucky. I know people who still do not have power! Fortunately, everyone is safe and no one was hurt. Finally, I have ventured into making bath salts. Talk about instant gratification! I purchased some absolutely gorgeous pink Himalayan salt and mixed it wit...

Nutmeg Naturals: What I've been doing
http://nutmegnaturals.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-ive-been-doing.html
Wednesday, January 4, 2012. What I've been doing. It's a new year and so it's time to make some new soaps! While I will certainly continue making many of my fragrance oil based-soaps, this year I plan on expanding the line of natural soaps. I must be in the mood for herbs, because I've got a lot of herbal based soaps planned for this year. Yesterday, I made a batch of Rosemary and also Rosemary mint. I'm planning on a batch of clary sage, lavender, basil, and patchouli as well. I only make little bits at...

Nutmeg Naturals: August 2011
http://nutmegnaturals.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 14, 2011. Cut soaps from yesterday's soapmaking. Saturday, August 13, 2011. New stuff, continued. Well, so much for waiting until tomorrow to post pictures! I apologize for the messy looking soap molds, but what's inside them looks great, I think! Poured in the scented mixture into the mold and made some pretty designs on the top with the aforementioned colors. I am sooo excited to see the result, but don't want to let myself get too excited yet! Pictures will be posted tomorrow :). So my ...

Nutmeg Naturals: July 2011
http://nutmegnaturals.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 17, 2011. So yesterday was a really nice day. We got a call from my dad to ask if we wanted to come over and see my step-sister's new baby. Of course we wanted to! He is only 2 months old, and honestly, I have zero experience with babies so I was quite excited to meet him. Steve and I got to hold him, feed him and play with him. I'm in love! He was such a good boy and it was a great visit. It felt great to be back in my hometown on such a nice summer day. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Http:/ www...

Nutmeg Naturals: January 2012
http://nutmegnaturals.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 6, 2012. The soap making process. I've been asked a number of times lately what the soap making process is all about. How does one even make soap? Is it hard to do, or expensive? The first thing I usually do is lug all my ingredients and equipment into the kitchen. Since I make a lot of soap, my soapmaking oils come in large, awkward containers. I buy coconut oil in 50 lb drums! On left: patchouli essential oil. Right: Rhassoul clay mixture with a little olive oil. 115 degrees - too hot!

The Bonus Room Stairs, painted - Daisey Jayne
http://www.daiseyjayne.com/2013/07/07/the-bonus-room-stairs-painted
Restore, reinvent, reuse. The Bonus Room Stairs, painted. Over our garage there is an unfinished “bonus” room, you can see pictures of our house and the garage. My husband Rick has begun the process of getting it finished and I can’t wait. I’ve been using our bedroom as my sewing room and it’s getting pretty crowded with all my sewing paraphernalia! I had the floors finished in tung oil and after being in the house for a little over a year the floors look beautiful and have worn very well. Another angle ...
