I just made two more from an old 2019 calendar for my husband - what do you know, there were pretty snow/mountain scenes and each one was from a significant month too! One month was both of our birthdays, and the other was our anniversary month. They're simple little bookmarks but I love making...

Ooh yummy turkey! :ep

Sufficient Self, thanks for all you do folks. This is a great little community I am proud to be a member of. Happy Holidays folks, and have a successful New Year!

@Nifty - I actually had some brand new wicks in a pack that were picked up at a thrift store. They weren't really wide or too small, just standard wicks. They've worked fine for that candle!

I've heard of both of those materials used for rope/cordage material. Attempting anything with Tulip Poplar honestly came by accident after making our fleshing beam- we peeled the logs and I was getting long strands of bark with it. I twisted up some single strand stuff that made nice...

I had to share but also sort of document for myself as I was glad to have finally learned how. I've been testing using Tulip Poplar for various projects and considered its use for cordage, but didn't really know how to go about making it as I had no experience to the point of how to make it. I...

Finally re-updated Etsy as I've got a total of 9 on there now. But I know these are all a bit larger needles, so finished one up today that's only 4 1/2 centimeters. Can't wait to pick up more legs this season to make more. Hoping also to make some cool other projects. I know they're not cookie...

Here's another photo of it unlit to show a bit of the layering if you can tell.

Awesome! Looking forward to it!

@baymule - That's got to be one of the most beautiful ways I've heard it described.

That is true in my eyes @Britesea - I notice some of the most comfortable people who are prepared and accepting of the inevitable have a comfort knowing where they'll go after.

@wyoDreamer - It is! The majority of the scents were apple, but there are layers of bright red, dark red, a purple-tint, and white/yellow from a vanilla/sugar cookie candle. My hope is that as it burns down, the different scents will make themselves known.

Some time back I was given a bunch of nearly empty candles from family in order to try my hand at recycling candles. I used one of the candle wicks found unopened from a thrift store and placed it in the bottom of one of my old half-pint mason jars. I lit one of the almost empty candles until...

I think I remember seeing it is due to sumi being unwell that POWs have been on hold

@baymule sorry for your loss of both parents, but as you said at least your father was no long suffering, and your mom had a very long life with her wishes made clear.

@milkmansdaughter - Thanks so much. Going to try and make a few with dried pine needles, but the green ones were too pretty to ignore. They're browning, but still partially green after a week.

@Mini Horses - Hopefully I can catch her sometime baking it! She lives a good bit a ways but there should be a family reunion/Thanksgiving gathering soon and I'll be tagging behind aunt-in-law to get a bite and get a recipe. :fl I wish I could've gotten my Grandmother's pineapple upside down...

@baymule - So sorry for your loss, but I am joyed that you see it as his freedom. At least you both were there to ensure his wishes were seen through. It's hard with lack of paperwork...we had family some time back and she was very elderly (early 90s) and always said she wanted to pass in her...

@thistlebloom fit the humor! In all seriousness, everything and everyone has their time. Accepting it, and finding a way laugh about it now is commendable. There's a time for tears and little time for fears. I think the bracelet idea is a good idea to convey this wish, or even a dog...

@Mini Horses - "Beg" is overkill on my part...I meant "Ask" in the kindest possible way. I mainly said it because I've been asking for the past three years or so to try and get it? It's my husband's aunt who knows the recipe. It was passed to her from her grandmother (DH's great-grandma) and...
