Crafty Week

I’ve been quite a busy little bee these last few days.

Saturday:  I tried my hand at making Shea Whip. I am attempting to reduce the amount of chemicals that I use on my body. Although I buy chemical free products, I was given a lovely little bit of Shea butter from my good friend Leonora via another good friend Kukua and again via Kukua's mum. So I thought I would try making my own moisturiser.

I made a lovely blend of Shea butter, olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil and Vitamin E (Squeezing Vitamin E capsules  is an amusing task. I didn't have the oil form. Luckily I had Mark on hand for this hehe)

                                                     

      

The Finished Product

I was pleased with the out come!

Monday: I am off to Norway at the weekend, and thought I would make myself a passport holder as my old one was falling apart. Whilst I sat watching my shows, I crocheted this little pouch.

Annoyingly it hasn't come out very well in the picture. I just need to attach a lanyard to it and it will be ready for travel on Saturday!

Tuesday: My friend announced the arrival of his baby on Wednesday, although I had already made a few items. I now knew the sex so I thought I would make something a little more girl specific. So I made a little headband with a big flower on it. 

That was pretty much it, for it my crafting this week. Perhaps I will do something on the journey that I can report back later.
