ROFL Copter

I can't believe I forgot to post the ROFL Copter! I made one of these a long time ago and gave it away. I just made a new one recently, but made it with glow-in-the-dark floss to make it more fun. It's in the Etsy store if you want to purchase it. I can always make more if needed. I love me a good ROFL.

WIPS!

I'd love to know what everyone in the blogosphere is cookin' up right now. Food? Embroidery? Soaps? I have this huge urge to create and not enough baby-free time. I stitched up a cute cross stitch on a book mark for a friend but forgot to take a picture first. Dang. Now I'm working on an 11 x 14 inch Galaga piece. I plan to make at least 4 of these, which are all spoken for already. What a popular game! I remember fondly braving the dark arcade in the mall to play this one. What video games did you play as a kid? Or what are you playing now as an adult?

This piece is a big deal because my husband and I are working on a blog about gaming. Stay tuned for its debut in July!

I'd like to hear from all the crafters that make their own soaps, bath salts and bath bombs. I have a lavender plant addiction. It's the only plant I've been able to consistently grow in our unforgiving soil. While I was pregnant, I took a lot of Epsom salt baths to help with muscle pains. I'm not pregnant anymore but lately have been suffering terrible back pains. I bet it would be even nicer in the tub if I had some lavender mixed in with the Epsom salts. I've been reading up on how to add lavender to the salts and I think that's my next non-stitchy project for the summer. Let me know if you've ever worked with essential oils and/or made bath salts or bath bombs. Well I better get crackin'!
