Logs

I have this love of logs. There's just something about them...it might be the rings...but I think it stems from you love of trees.

Anyway, I've taken that love and interpreted it as Log Holders. Not holders for your logs but holders of any item that fits inside of the log shaped holder. (My sweet 4 year old son ,Shepard, is calling them 'holders' so I figured it was a good name for them)
These handy holders are complete with complimentary moss and leaves. As well as rings on the bottom.
I'll be listing them in my Etsy shop soon! And, probably making more log shaped items, 'cause I just love the logs!

Enchanted Teas Giveaway

I just can't wait for others to try this Dreamy tea blend! So, I've decided to giveaway three 1/2oz bags to the first 3 people to comment on this post!

There is one stipulation though, well maybe it counts as a few! I'd love for the winners to tell me what you think of the tea! (how it tastes, how it enhanced your sleep and dreams and anything else you'd like to add)

I'll send a message to the 3 lucky winners soon after they've left their comment to congratulate them and get address information!

Dreamy Teas

I'm super excited to finally share my new Etsy shop! I love herbs and herbal teas. I've been drinking and concocting my own recipes for years, so it just seemed fitting to begin sharing my herbal blends with others!

I am proud to say that all of my teas are packaged in 100% biodegradable bags and I use only Certified Organic & Wild Harvested herbs.

The first tea that's available in the shop is a Dream blend. I thoroughly researched folklore, myths, and common herbal information to create this blend. I included herbs that have been known for centuries to enhance dreams, calm and relax, and protect from night-mares. It's a fragrant tasty blend of herbs that's perfect to accompany a cozy chair and good book in the evening.

I've got lots of ideas and recipes brewing so I'll be adding more to the shop very soon!

Look What I Made

It's been over a year since I last used my sewing machine! I recently got the urge to sew again. As my first project back into sewing I decided to make something for myself. This is pretty unusual since I'm generally making things for other people and hardly find the time to make something for myself. So, I am really happy with how well this tote turned out!

I used Anna Marie Horner's Multi-Tasker Tote pattern. And, Amy Butler fabric.

It's been finished for 2 days and has already been put to good use by accompanying my family and I on a trip to the beach.

Simple Cucumber Treat

I thought I'd take a moment to share my favorite Summer time snack.
I assemble this simple recipe almost everyday during warm weather. It's easy, yummy and refreshing during hot Summer days.

You'll need:
1 cucumber
1/2 a lemon
2 tbs olive oil
garlic salt to taste (you can also use sea salt with fresh minced garlic)

Slice cucumber and place into bowl.
squeeze lemon juice onto cucumber slices.
add olive oil
add garlic salt
stir
enjoy
