Stuff

Just a few things .....

Ken and I were noticing today that Muggins is calmer. Now, she's half poodle, hence, genetically predisosed to being high strung. For the last month or so, we've been feeding her raw meat, and I've noticed a calmer dog, who's less prone to barking at things like bluejays that have the nerve to fly past. She hasn't gone to have her anal glands "expressed" yet, so I can't comment on that for another couple of weeks.

I've fixed the soapmaking blog, but meanwhile, I've made some pretty funky soaps. I'm binge soapmaking. I made a fresh ocean scented soap with pumice in it to give a nice gentle scrub. I made a delightful one I'm calling Pink Silk that has a lovely girlie scent, is coloured pink and I added shea butter and silk powder to it - yum! Yesterday, I made the coolest seaweed soap, with tiny peices of seaweed in it, which is awesome for your skin and it smells just like the beaches by the ocean. Today, I made cocoa butter soap and scented it with chocolate. (ooooh!!) and a coconut cream soap that's got shea butter and is scented with vanilla and coconut. (aaaaah)

Anyway, I've just finished making a turkey soup and some vanilla bean and orange peel ice cream. Now I think I'll go and practice my fiddle ... and my flute, we have a concert on Friday.
