Hellooooo. I've been taking a short break over the Easter Holidays, so the shops have been shut, and the family and I have been having lots of jam packed days. I also had a fair and two soap demos to squeeze in, so not entirely work free ;) </div>

I've also been having a play around with the wash mitts, as I was never entirely happy with the thick seams on my first ones. I love these now. I making a couple more before I change them over in the<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MichelleGoodSoaps?ref=hdr_shop_menu"> shop.</a></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm slightly later than I intended to be this week as one of the family decided she needed more attention than she usually gets. Kes, our nearly 20 year old cat, has been at the vets with a swollen face. She went in on Wednesday to have the teeth cleaned and the offending teeth removed, with me being slightly anxious because of her age and the anaesthetic risk. That was ok but they also found a tumour in the bone</span> <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">L</span></div>

I've tried a few different essential oil suppliers over the years as my range of soaps has expanded. Many soap makers add artificial scents to boost the smells to the soaps as some essential oils can fade over time. I don't find that with <a href="http://www.baldwins.co.uk/">Baldwins</a>. They have amazing oils that have fabulous scents that hold well. The therapeutic benefits are amazing too...many a time I've driven home from a soap making demonstration thinking I probably shouldn't have made the soap with the Ylang Ylang oil ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The prices are good, if you pay cheap prices for oils, you will get cheap oils ;) The website if full of information, and the staff are very helpful if you ring.</div>

I love my woolly socks, and usually darn them when they have holes in. These ones got to the point where they were a bit more darned than actual sock so I cut the tops off, gave them a cut, so they were no longer a tube, then stitched them into 2 long strips.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once that was done, I stitched the two strips together, stitched down the sides and voila..a cushion cover was born ;) I have three wooden buttons set aside but I'm still undecided as to whether it needs them.</div>

I'm dropping back into this space after what has been an amazing year for Handmade Haven. After all the hard work and effort that goes in, sometimes it still feels like a dream. People actually like <i>MY</i> things..<i>.MY</i> soaps...and they come back for more. <i>MY</i> things! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I'm making the time for the blog..and maybe a newsletter once a month. I won't be attending as many fairs, as I really can't split myself into several people unfortunately, so this seems like the best way of keeping in touch with everyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To kick things off I thought I would have a little give-away...start the new year with <i>something lovely</i>. For your chance to win the gorgeous soap gift set just leave a comment below. You may share if you wish, but I won't hold you to it ;) I'm happy to post overseas too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I shall draw a winner on 10th January 2015.</div>

There will be a good selection of pieces by local artisans for you to look through...I can't wait to see what else there is. Some of the artisans will be there during that week too (I'll be there Tuesday-Friday 10-1).</span></div>

The next weekend was the <a href="http://artisansinaction.weebly.com/">Artisans In Action Event</a>. This was the first time I only had my soaps and bath products with me. You could even make yourself a bath salt sachet :) I had a fabulous time here too, with great feedback from people, some of whom turned into customers. My smile grew wider a couple of days later when I'd had a customer from the event purchase more soap from my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MichelleGoodSoaps">Etsy shop</a> as she'd loved the bar she bought originally so much that she had to try some more! </div>

I'm also introducing these new 'Painters' felts. Hand-painted using colours typical of famous painters (hence the name). They are a little bit different to anything else out there, so I thought I'd give them a go. Here's the first six out of eleven. If they are popular I'll get the others in the shops too.</div>

Lots of new things in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MichelleGoodsoaps">here</a>. Firstly there's the wash mitts...to go with the face cloths. Organic cotton towelling and gorgeous cotton bias.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also have six new bath salts for you to luxuriate in. Made with himalayan and epsom salts, essential oils and botanicals, these are a little bit of bathroom heaven. If you don't have a bath (like me!) you can use these as a foot soak. </div>

Ready in the next couple of days is the new Activated Charcoal Soap. This is going to be great for using as a pore cleanser..like a mini face mask..as the charcoal is great at removing dirt and grease from the skin. I can't wait to try this one!</div>

An instant favourite in the<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MichelleGoodsoaps"> shop</a> are these cleanser pads. Great for using as a mini wash pad or as a make-up remover pad. Made with organic cotton towelling and/or unbleached flannel, there are available in three different ways.</div>

I finally succumbed and opened an <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/handmadehavenwoolfelt">Ebay shop</a> for the felt. I really wasn't sure whether to or not as I would have to charge a little more to cover their charges, but it seems to be going great so far! So, if you can't get to the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MichelleGood?ref=si_shop">Etsy shop</a> you can always see me over on Ebay ;)</div>

My lovely Hubby started a new job a few weeks back...for the same company, but an office based day job instead of a manual based continental shift job. It's been harder than I ever thought it would be, trying to get used to him being out in the day and having weekends off! We don't have as much time at all, meaning I also don't have as much time trying to fit my work in. Hopefully I'll have some sort of routine soon...especially as the craft fairs are coming up ;)</div>

I shall be doing some catch-up posts as I've not had the time to keep you up-to-date with all my makings.</div>
