Homemade body spray? YES!

So today I came home from my horsey friend(which just so happens its blazing hot and sticky today) and I thought, I could go for some body spray right about now. So I Googled  "Women's body spray" and came up with a few things that said you could make it! Well what do you know? I found some recipes and made some. Mmm! I just filled a spray bottle with distilled water and added lavender essential oil (about 40+ drops) to it and shook it up. This smell won't last long so I'm just going to use it until the smell goes and then make some more! ;) I got the idea from this  site. It's a really neat place and I'm going to go check it out some more once I'm finished here.


Jordyn, over and out!! ;)

Just trying this out.

Knit Boot Warmers

Hello!
This is my boot warmer that I just whipped up.
Heres how to!
Using size 13 needles and Lion Brand "Super Bulky," color 'Portland Wine' yarn, cast on 32 stitches.
Working in the Stockinette stitch starting with knit, ( Knit, Purl, Knit, Purl etc.) go until your work is as long as your boots are tall. (In my case, approx. 1')
Cast off and weave in ends.
Sew the piece together hot-dog style and add any finishing touches.



Hope you like this-ignore the dirty boot in the picture-and keep knitting!!

Pink Magnetic Bracelet

Hi!
I just finished a new bracelet, and here is how to make it!
1. Start by cutting a length of jewelry wire or non-stretchy plastic about 3" too long for your wrist.
2. Put one small crimping bead on the wire and loop the other end of the wire through it, making a tiny loop that, when pulled, would let the crimping bead off the wire.
3. Crimp shut with pliers.
4. Put on a magnetic clasp and/or a regular clippy clasp.
5. Start putting on beads, I used a pearl (not genuine :( ) a chrome piece, another pearl, a pink crystal, a magnet and another pink crystal.
6. Repeat the same thing with the clasp on the other side, clip excess wire and thread through the bead closest to it, so as to not poke you when you are wearing it.
7. Wear and enjoy!

Stainless steel base magnetic bracelets and anklets, so I've heard, are supposed to help with joint pain, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist pain, muscle soreness and stiffness, as well as reduces swelling and inflammation.
I think they're alot of fun to make, although be careful when you are because I had a heck of a time trying to keep those suckers off of themselves and other metal things!
Just remember, all you have to do is, comment on this, tell me how you like them and send me pictures of your creations as well! 
Have fun making them!! ;)

Blue Beaded Bracelet

  

 Ahhhh! My new creation!

Ok, So I whipped this little thing up last night while I was bored. 
What you'll need;

Some beading wire like this-->












 

<--A Clasp like these--^
















And some beads( I used Blue White Chrome)


1. Start by cutting 3 lengths of wire about 3 inches too long for your wrist.
2. Tie the wire into a loop of the clasp and tighten with some needle nose pliers.
3. Put your choice of beads onto one length of wire(I did blue white blue, then a silver, then white blue white, alternating as I went, then the last length of wire that I did, I did it with just a mix of all my blue, white and silver beads)
4. Tie a knot at the other end and clip the excess wire until 1/4" long, then thread through last bead so as to not poke you when you wear it.
5. Make the 2nd and 3rd just a 1/4" longer than the others, so when you wear it one length will overlap the other by a tad, giving it volumes.


You can twist it and wear it, tie in a loose knot and wear it, really, the possibilities for this are endless!

Have fun beading! 

Our new arrivals!

Dear Fellow Knitters!
I have managed to knit three projects from yesterday to today! I have to add finishing touches such as eyes and noses, but here they are! 
I knit two skunks yesterday, (both varying a touch from the other) and one raccoon. 
I personally like the raccoon, probably because he turned out a little better than the others! But none the less, I love them all.
This is George The Skunk, he's quiet, and only speaks when needed. He's quite the introvert, smart and, surprisingly, clean.

                                              George The Skunk

This is Stella the Skunk  wife of George. She's a very fluffy gal, with a long, pretty tail, which really sealed the deal on her marriage to George. She's sweet, but when she wants what she wants, she gets it!

                                                                                           Stella The Skunk



Robbie Raccoon's photos are not uploading correctly, but I hope to get him up here soon. (Don't tell anyone, but I think he's the cutest ;) ) 

 They still have surgery tomorrow to get eye sight, and then they will be off to their new homes :)


Our next little guy is going to be a little yellow ducky with flippers and a bill :)






Until next time!
