Just gettin started…

…and havin a good time.

Just getting started on here on WordPress. Here’s where I talk (and talk and talk) about the vicissitudes of starting a business.I make jewelry — strung beads. It’s fun. Bracelets and earrings and necklaces. While I’m at the stringing I also make beaded bookmarks and paternosters (early forms of the rosary).

I make herbal bath salts. Got started after I tried bath salts that had been gifted to me by someone else — let me tell you, it’s a lovely way to bathe. Never could relax enough to stay in the tub otherwise. So, I learned how. Made lots. Ran out of space to store them, ran out of stuff to make them with. I give a lot away to friends and family, but who objects to making a little money too?

Working on soap. The thought of lye scares me a bit but hey, I survived several college chemistry classes so I should be fine. I’m a sucker for shiny soaps so I figured I might as well play with the idea.

Learned how to make skin cream from Max. Yay Max!

More later.
