Fun projects for baby
When we lived in Houston Katy and I were part of a Threads of Love group. We crocheted edging on fleece blankets and made matching hats. The blankets went to the NICU at a local hospital. I decided it was a perfect thing to make for our new baby. I even made matching booties. The second blanket is flannel on one side and minky on the other. I also made coordinating burp clothes. The last project is nursing cover. They sell for $35-$50. That price is out of my budget so I made one. I spent $7 and 30 minutes. I am hoping to get a few more things made in the next few weeks.
Soap and lip balm
Recently I spent the morning in the kitchen creating. I made peppermint cocoa lip balm, powdered laundry detergent and two kinds of soap. I love making things like this and have considered making a business out of it in the future. The laundry detergent is cheaper than anything I could buy and always comes out on top when I put it to the test against store bought detergent. I am excited to try the soap (it just finished curing) as I experimented little. My two soap creations are lavender goat milk soap and oatmeal cinnamon goat milk soap.
