New products and silicone molds

I've been very busy these days making a lot more candle products and now it's time to post pictures to show what I've been making.


Green Apple



Pumpkin Spice



Apple Jack



I also make embeds for the candles. I simply pour extra wax after pouring the wax from candlemaking into an unused cookie sheet that has expired its purpose. I use cookie cutters just for candlemaking. You can get them at Walmart's for only 97 cents or at a dollar store. It's just as good as using a fancy shmancy cookie cutter, you only want to have a sharp edge at the end.



Cut the wax when it is semi-soft, not when it is hardened. If you cut when it is hard, you can expect the wax to break. Cut when it is semi-soft and you can peel off the excess wax from the outside. Don't toss out the excess wax. Put it in a ziploc baggie and keep it for another purpose. Want not, waste not, my dears!!

I was so lucky to get a hold of this beautiful "ILY" silicone mold from a beautiful friend of mine. Her name is Michelle Schoppe Dupre and she does candlemaking as well. She does embeds. You can find her beautiful website where you can find her own beautiful personalised artwork of the ILY sign. I was thrilled to pieces when she sold me her "ILY" silicone molds and she kept 2 to herself. I wanted this kind because it is 3D as well. It is just perfect for fundraising for the CNIB.

Being DeafBlind, texture is so important for me and to learn that this silicone mold is 3D, I just had to grab this. This entry is for Michelle as this mold I just know will bring funds into fundraising. Thank you so much Michelle (deaffreckles) Tactile love to you, girl!



9 cavities each mold and I have two.. still so happy to have ordered it!!

Rosehips, doilies & wreaths

I just love rosehips as they send off an amazing potent scent. Not only do rosehips look beautiful in so many ways, you can scatter several around candles, prims and you can make wreaths out of them with cinnamon sticks. This is what I did and the results were beautiful.



I took two coffee stained doilies and sewed them together to stuff the rosehips inside and this is how it turns out. Quite beautiful!



Coffee-staining is quite popular nowadays. I did this for all of my doilies and I just love how the results turned out. I'm not too fond of tea-staining as I don't get the results I want. Coffee-staining gives me the perfect colour I want. I do a three step process. I "marinate" the doilies in the sink with water and coffee grounds. I hang them to dry and then put them back in the sink with 1 part vinegar and 4 part water to set the stain. Hang them up to dry. Put them back in the water and add a wee drop of scented oil to get rid of the "vinegar-y" odour and hang up to dry completely.

This is what you have and they are amazing!



I have added a rusty collection to Purrfect Scents as I love rusty things so much. They are just good for about any room.

New scents

Feast your eyes on those beautiful tarts!





Halloween is only around the corner!!
