This past weekend was a big one. I can't comprehend that two days, when we have had nothing planned to do but "catch up, hang out, relax," turned into such a whirlwind circus of crafting and cookery. Months ago we decided to make salves for friends and family for holiday gifts. I had purchased all of our herbs, beeswax, oil and containers and this was the last weekend to do it before the supplies would have been schlepped into the closet for next year.
It really is a simple process. Except for when you decide to do three separate batches and have a one year old dog that wants to help with everything. You see, I had not thought about the tiny inconvenience of how WAX manages to get onto everything when you are melting it. We did our three big batches in many different sized containers and have plenty of gifts for this time of year. We just didn't have a nice and relaxing weekend to catch up and hang out.
My friends Trevor and Tori recently made salves and they finished them off by carving a tiny heart in the top with a tooth pick. I obsess over the presentation and delivery of a gift more than the gift itself, so this will be the next step. I may post again when I have figured out just how to do it...
