Calendula Infused Body Butter!

Do you have dry skin?
Live in Canada?
Live by the mountains?
Have a cold winter season?

You need a body butter stick!

This fresh batch are made with bees wax, shea butter, vitamin e oil, and amazing calendula infused olive oil. Calendula is often used for cuts, scrapes, burns, rashes, and bug bites. It is very gentle on the skin and is excellent for soothing itchy skin, and conditioning dry cracked skin. It is also anti fungal, anti inflammatory, and anti viral. It is a great compliment to a body butter stick and I have made a fresh batch!

I am working on my online shop so you don't have to wait for the next market.
Soon, you will just be able to click buy now, sit back and it will come to your mailbox!
Won't that be nice?!

Back Again, but I wasn't really gone!

It has been a very long time since I have sat down and written a blog post!
So long that filling in the blanks seem impossible, not because there is a big or exciting reason, but so much time in between posts!
Since last blogging I have decided to share with the world my passion for making handmade soap! In a nutshell, I can only use so much soap and give away so much soap that I almost had to start selling it. Isn't is satisfying when you know exactly what is in your food or products that you use! Well, I am a firm believer of this and this is why I make my own soap and sharing it with you!
Last year I introduced 1968 Soap Co. and planned to get my Etsy shop up and running. It has been impossible to get soap made, listed and into the shop before I sell out, and therefore it is still in the process of opening on Etsy!

That's right folks, now I have 3 handmade shops and it has been a great experience sharing my handmade soap with so many I am excited for it to get online!

Usually made in 8 pound loaves, here is a loaf of Honey and Oats, Lavender, and Chai Tea!

Baby Powder Soap made with Pink Clay

Pumpkin Pie Cold Pressed Soap

White Tea and Ginger --- Lilac Soap

I have loads of soap for Fall and Winter Markets along with my handmade products from my other two shops! Watch here, on my Facebook Page and in Instagram for upcoming markets!

Carrot Apple Pulp Muffins!

Do you Juice? I am not a serious juicer, however, we do try to juice frequently and I usually find it wasteful and hard to just throw out the pulp.

This morning we juiced carrots, apples and a small amount of a beet for breakfast and I saved the pulp to make these awesome muffins….No oil and extra protein!

Carrot Apple Pulp Muffins

Pulp of 4 - 8 medium carrots

Pulp of 3 apples

3 eggs

¾ cup of applesauce

1 cup milk

¼ cup white sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups flour

1 scoop protein powder (natural) unsweetened

2 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp ginger

¼ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp salt

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ cup sweetened dried cranberries

½ -3/4 cup of chocolate chips ( I add ¾ because extra chocolate is good J)

Mix together and bake for approximately 20- 25 min on 350. This recipe makes a little more than 12 muffins.

My pottery bowls make an awesome catch all for one last big muffin!

OUT OF THE KILN!

Finally a load finished!

I have come to realize I need more shelves....and unbroken ones!

Lots of Red Clay pieces this time!

I've been mixing up new Mayco glazes....I am excited to see what the high fire pink and green are going to turn out like.

...looks like a tiny amount in there!

lol, I possibly didn't need this big of a pail.

Here are a few of my finished buttons!

These are small handformed pebble buttons....glazed on one side.

Available in my shop at the link below.

Fitness Pal Challenge!

Are you trying to lose weight? Have you tried the App on your iphone called My Fitness Pal?

I could stand to lose about 15 pounds or so before summer and I am determined to make it a challenge!

Here is the Scoop:

This App is awesome for following your caloric intake, monitoring it, choosing and watching what you eat and eventually losing weight.

The app allows you to log your food into your phone in seconds including restaurant food and scanning barcodes of what you are eating! The app knows many popular restaurants which is a bonus, yet can be a little depressing at the same time. Restaurant food can often be full of calories that obviously come from making this food taste so good. That yummy restaurant food that looks great and tastes amazing can be super high in calories!

Another great part of this app is that you can add into your day your exercise and it calculates your caloric intake again using this information. Whether it is a 1/2 hour run, a bike ride, or any exercise you do, it will affect the outcome of your daily allowed caloric intake. You are totally in control....want a big supper? ......go for a run, walk the dog, hop on your bike, and then feel good about yourself and have that supper!

This app allows you to make a profile, plan of how much weight you would like to lose or gain, or if you would like to stay at the weight you are at now. It will tell you how long it will take for you to lose/gain your weight at a specific daily calorie schedule. The addition is all done for you. All you have to do is simply keep a diary of your food and activity and follow your plan!

Here's the link to a great description of My Fitness Pal:

Take control and Challenge yourself!

Throwing Pots!

Have you had Carpal Tunnel? After years of tingly fingers and a sleeping arm, last year I had surgery on my left hand. Not fully understanding how I would be put out of commission, it has been not quite a year that I have felt comfortable throwing on my wheel again. It has felt great and I am pleased to be playing on my wheel once again!

Mugs and bowls are on my February to do list as well as the regular buttons, pendants, gift tags and smaller creations I have been working on.

This plainsman M340 clay is a mid temperature clay, a very popular soft, smooth, buff burning clay. M340 is mined from the "extensive white mud formation of southern Saskatchewan, Canada." and uses a different selection of glazes than I have been using for the past 6 months. I am super excited to mix up some new glaze!

I am working on a batch of buttons and some pendants with this same clay and will fire as soon as my mugs all have handles!

VALENTINES!

These little earrings are available in my shop!
