Soap in a Sweater

Joe's birthday was this week and one of the things I made him was a soap in a sweater.  I found the very easy-to-follow directions here.  So now the soap has its own built-in wash cloth.  :-)

Step 4: Wrap batt-wrapped-soap with a loosely knit mesh netting with attached single crochet rope for hanging

Plans for Global Domination

When I was in college, one of my mentors [half] joked that I had a 5 step plan to take over the world. Determined. Stubbon. Gonna make it happen no matter what. That was me. It still kind of is.

That's why I love love love this journal I found on etsy.


It's only $11 which isn't bad at all. I'm not sure I could justify it to the hubster, though. "But honey. I needed somewhere well labeled to keep all of my plans to take over the world. My standard issue notebook just wasn't cutting it anymore." Probably not. And it's not my birthday anymore, either.
Hmmm. Maybe once I get my shop restocked and do some sales I can justify the expense.
