cocoa bunny soap sets!

Here they are ready to hop into your bath with you. What a fun way to get those kids clean. These delightful little rabbits will be the perfect non-candy treat to tuck into the annual basket. Just make sure everyone knows he is only soap.

they are up in the Sacred Waters Soap shop now!

hurry before they hop away

be my lavender sweatheart?

a bit late for Valentine's Day but sweet none the less. 2 bars of Lavender Zen, a bar of Rosemary Mist and a lovely silk heart upcycled from vintage kimono bits and stuffed with lavender and spice. This gift set is now available in the shop.

To Begin Again

Rosemary Mist on abed of Spicy Lavender Sachet Mix


Well, after a long absence from soap making, I have decided to return. My newborn is 3 1/2 and my arms are mostly free now. Hard to believe how much time he spent in them. So now with a bit of breathing room I find myself casting about for something to do.

Orange Bay Shaving set

Not that we are ever bored around here or have "free" time. We have added several new animals to our urban farm since we last spoke. The garden is growing and expanding.

Life is forever on the move. Glad to be back in the soapy swing of things.
Stay tuned for shop updates and lots mad science experimentation.
There may even be a few give-a-ways!

Closing the doors

well friends the time has come. I have decided to close up the soap shop and move on to a new creative endeavor. I have been making soap for over ten years now and it really is time to do something new. I am in the process of selling off my stock and raw materials. I have had a few clients place special orders for what I have left sooooooo if there is anything you will die with out start hoarding now.



I am opening a new shop called Shenanigans. It doesn't have a set focus yet, more just an eclectic space for whatever I have the inspiration to create. I am kicking it all off with a beautiful collection of felt play food. Keep track of me over at my new blog space http://maltagirl-shenanigans.blogspot.com . I hope you will follow me on the next leg of my journey.

keep clean

one more time

Shall we start the blog business one more time? I am working a new process now so this blogging thing should be much easier for me. Right now I am busy redefinning who I am and what I do. I need to have this well under way by the new year so I can start fresh. I took some photos for todays post but can't seem to get them to load. I will have to work on that during nap time so I can focus!

enjoy the day!

catching up and moving on

While the creation of this blog was motivated by my Harry potter Sock Kit swap, it also had many other reasons for coming into existence. I wanted a place to document my journey through gardening, home schooling and parenting, my creative process and my business and the steps my family is taking towards living green.

So to catch you all up as to what has been happening on the farm, I will post on a different aspect of our goings on a regular basis....so come back and check in!
