New makes,  new ideas and craft fairs 

Now that I am back from my travels it seems a good time to update one of these . Always hard to get back into the swing of things after a long holiday .

I started with a trip to my "shelf" at the gift boutique in Petersfield and topped it up with some summery items and got a feel for whats selling and what is trending in the shop. Owls are still popular. I have experimented with an owl mold but it was a bit smaller than I ideally wanted  , although they came our rather cute so may give them another go . Been mainly making soaps this week - wanted something to keep my own skin nice and soft after all that desert sun and wind but made a few extra  to get my stocks up as I need to get ready for 2 craft fayres in the next few weeks (Royston on 25th April them Emsworth on the 9th May ) so I need to get my making head on. Had some ideas on how I could make something inspired by desert sunsets so aim to experiment this weekend on those . 

Also aiming to make a few "summer favorites" such as lavender rocks and strawberry stars and toying with the idea of some strawberry and champagne moon rocks . I did buy some new cherry perfume that smell fab but no ideas what to make with that at the mo !

The garden also needs some attention as its starting to get a bit wild and woolly so going to be a bit of a balance on how to best spend my time this week and I of course always need to make time for a nice relaxing soak to try out all the goodies I am making :)
