Rosemary Shampoo

I really liked the hair cleansing cream I had made earlier, but had also read lots of good things about Rosemary, so I decided to make a combination hair cleanser.

1 piece Olive Oil Soap with Rosemary pods

melted in 1 cup water

Add in 2 tsp avocado oil

1/2 tsp extra rosemary pods
1 Tbsp baking soda

1/3 cup liquid castile soap (citrus scent this time)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

I used my egg beaters to whip this up nice and smooth. I added a little extra water to keep it runny and to increase the amount. I was pleased to see it all fit perfectly into this old baby shampoo bottle I've had laying around for years... I think for this exact purpose!

The ladies of the house decided we needed to add some coconut milk for extra conditioning, so I added 1/4 cup thick coconut milk to approx 1/3 cup of the rosemary cleanser. We should easily be able to use this up without going bad or needing to store it in the fridge.

Sweet Simplicity

I scored this kitt at the annual spring Ujamma Gramma sale one year. I had it sitting for a while, and chose to tackle it this past winter. The kit came with the pattern and the pieces for the top and binding. The blocks went together fairly quickly. I was able to find a coordinating piece for the backing and finished this great little quilt.

Measures 50" x 60"

Disappearing Nines

I started this quilt thinking I would be able to use up some of the bits and pieces I had laying around. I began with 9 patch blocks, then quickly decided to play with the disappearing technique. I loved the design, but wanted it a little larger. I chose the wider borders to complete a beautiful mid-sized lap quilt.
