I made 7 of these little purse/pouches for some special people.
Since I made them in kind of a production line, they actually came together pretty quick. Now I just need to make one for myself.
And inside each little pouch was a bar of homemade goats milk, lavender, beeswax soap. I'm going to do another post soon with the recipe, but it was very easy and fun. I used a soap base instead of lye (lye scares me) so Grace and Jackson could help too.
We also tried our hands at some homemade lotion but without as much success. I need to work on this recipe a bit as it was too thick. Smells delicious though and actually works great, just hard to get out of the jar. Needless to say these didn't make the cut.
I made this little jingle ball for my dearest little niece that I am in love with. It was a pattern I used way back here when Jackson was just a baby.
And finally (inspired from here) I made these gift wrap bags that I am in love with. I'm really not a big fan of wrapping gifts, well actually I despise it. But this made it so easy it was actually fun. Just put gift in and tie a ribbon around. When finished fold up and save for another gift. Genius (again not my idea, but a really good one).
There are three more gifts for Grace and Jackson that I need to post about but that will have to wait until I can get some photos.
