Winter Spa

Remember some time ago, I mentioned that I was a Chemo-Angel? Well, today (this morning before I left for work), I finally took the opportunity to put together a little spa kit for my patient.

I figured now that the holidays were over, she might really be interested in decompressing and taking at least one long, warm bath. Hopefully, she's up to it.

Here is a picture of the kit I put together.



I gave her baths salts (unscented), some essential oils in small vials (so she can scent her salts and use the rest to scent her space), a tiny candle holder and a few tealight candles that smelled pretty nice, a handmade bar of soap and a mit to go with it...and the BEST...an eye mask that you heat up in a pan of hot water (or conversely cool down in a bowl of ice).

OHHHHH....And last week (I forgot to mention this), I finally used a gift certificate I got from my friend, Heather, to have a massage. I had a Shiatsu Acupressure message, and it was AMAZING. I almost fell asleep. It was really hard to return to work after that. The woman has been doing this for about 20 years, I think she said. She has her basement setup as her "parlor". It was really nice.

She just updated her new website, too, so if you're in the Delaware area, you might consider an appointment. She's great: Relaxing Touch Body Works

Warm Little Sweetness

I must admit that I have become quite fond of making little bitty sweaters.   It all started on a recent trek to India traveling for business. I needed to carry just enough yarn to keep my busy bee hands occupied during the evenings in my hotel room. There are just so many hats a person can make, right?  Anyway, having limited quantities of yarn, I decided to give a small sweater a go.  This is the first one I created. I had just the perfect little buttons to add! (It really is amazing what one might find in their cosmetic bag) I love it.  This sweater is also featured on the Pinque Peacock blog   since I used her buttons.  (Go visit and see the buttons up close) This makes the sweater a really one of a kind project! This next one is perfect for a little preemie.  It's so tiny, but features a great big snowflake! Close up of the snowflake…. I also sewed on one of the StampinUp! Frosted Finishes Embellishments.  I think it finished it off nice

Baker John

Totally scrumptious, this bread. John is home from college right now and in-between hours of aimless gaming, he must be thinking of good food. He trolled my cookbook case and pulled a very old Italian bread cookbook out and VOILA....filled our house with the wonderful aroma of rosemary. His first loaf.

Big Birthday Celebration

Are you here having fun hopping along with 3GirlJAM in celebration of Julie's sister's big birthday year?  What a great little cyber party we're having!  (she's really a young thing, but she's having a great year) Well, if not, you should be hopping along (I'll tell you why in a moment). There are some really wonderful birthday ideas from all of us on the design team...and including Julie's two girls, who are also having fun celebrating their aunt's birthday. If you need to go back to the beginning, head over to the 3GirlJAM blog to get started.  Otherwise.... Here's my card in celebration her special year! I used blue crinkle ribbon from the newly released  Red,White,Blue Bundle.   It's such a nice shade of blue!  The white has bits of the red and blue in it (and I love the ribbon when it's like that)...and the red is also pretty awesome...like marachino cherries.  The little button in the center is from Pinque Peacock (l
