I make a lot of my own household cleaners, bath and body products, extracts, seasonings, etc., and I wanted to create a space for us to share our projects with each other. I also love to sew, even though I’m not great at it. 🙃 Let’s share…
• Sewing, quilting, and needlework
• Extracts and infusions (please add trigger warning for alcohol use)
• Bath and body recipes
• Household cleaning concoctions
• Crafty creations

DIY WASHING POWDER
2 cups baking soda
2 cups washing soda (Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda)
2 cups fine grain sea salt (Saltworks)
1 cup Baby Oxi-Clean
Optional: 15-30 drops of essential oil, such as orange, lavender, or peppermint (I use 20 drops of peppermint oil.)
Instructions
1. Combine baking soda, washing soda, and Baby Oxi-Clean together in a gallon-size container with tight lid. (I use a whisk for mixing.)
2. Add salt and drop in essential oil on top of salt for better absorption. Mix together well.
3. To use, per load, add 1 tablespoon for front-loaders or 2 tablespoons for top-loaders.
4. Wash as normal.

BABY BUM BALM
One small 4 oz. glass jar with secure lid
Small saucepan
2 tbsp organic beeswax pellets
3 tbsp organic shea butter
3 tbsp organic extra virgin coconut oil
5 drops organic lavender essential oil (If using on infant under 3 months of age, omit the lavender oil. See notes below.)
Directions
1. Place beeswax pellets, shea butter, and coconut oil into saucepan.
2. Warm at low heat until completely melted.
3. Remove from heat and stir in lavender essential oil.
4. Pour into jar and allow to cool to a translucent state.
5. Securely attach lid and store out of direct light.
NOTES: Scent will stay fresh for 1 year. This is also great for chapped winter cheeks and hands.
The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians advises against using essential oils on infants under 3 months of age. Because neonatal skin takes 3 months to fully mature, the permeability of essential oils is enhanced. Newborns are not able to deal with any adverse reactions that may occur with use as compared to adults who have stronger, matured immune systems.

That’s lovely! The color is so brilliant. My grandma tried to teach me to crochet, but it didn’t take. 🙃 I’ve been wanting to do one of the arm-crocheted chunky blankets. Maybe one day soon… 😉

I made these wood bead wreaths for my daughters (and one for me 😉) earlier this summer. I know it’s a little late, but there’s a Christmas version as well. You have the option of wiring the floral pieces on or glueing them. I opted for hot glue, because I knew I wouldn’t go to the trouble of changing out the flowers and greenery for different seasons. It’s a fun and easy project. 😊
