Over the coming months I want to share with you some fabulous crafty folk who I admire. First up we have the lovely Shazronnie, who dares to say on her cards things I would never say publicly ;) I've had a few pieces and they are always fab.

Essential Oils - Baldwins
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 Baldwins. 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 ;)
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.

Old Socks...a re-purposing tale.
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.
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.
