First freebie and post of 2023

 Hello 

and I hope you all had a pleasant start into the new year. I was actually on nightshift on New Years eve, but it wasn't too bad. Of course I slept the first day of the new year away after that. 

Project wise I have already been quite busy this month. 

The first thing I did, I made some candles. 

I love candle light and over the year I burn quite a few of them. Most times there is some wax left over in the bottom or it doesn't quite burn down to use all of the wax. Well, over 2022 I collected all this left over wax in a plastic bag, and I had plenty enough to melt it all down and make some new candles from these left overs. There was no need to add colour pigment, but I added some fragrance oils to make them smell delicious. 
I kept all the old candle jars,washed  and refilled them. 
And there you go- 5 new candles which cost me practically nothing. Just a new wick and some time and electricity to melt the wax on my cooker. 
This little Resin kit was a Christmas gift to myself. I always wanted to try this. 
As it turns out it was fun to try , but not a craft I would invest in on a grand scale. 
The bookmark turned out quite pretty and I had enough resin to make 2 more. 
I finished the cross stitch picture I showed in my last post. This will go in my craft/hobby room. 
This is the new WIP (work in progress) and will hang in my kitchen once it's complete. 

Okay, I think tat's enough for today. Just one more thing to do .....
Freebie time ! 
For now we're in the winter season. This is the first part of the winter themed minis to come. 

Here is the download link 


Enjoy , and until next time

Busy as always! Like the candles you've made, is a good idea but Not for me to do.
How far in progress is your bathroom now?
I am asking myself if I wil buy me the new Photoshop Elements, perhaps I will not design as much as I did, but I always liked to do it and it is handy to have such a program on the laptop anyway I think.
But it will be for later, now most of all busy to keep busy, and slowly clearing out things and such( and I have to do a LOT of clearing out!!).
Have a lovely week,
Hug

Thanks so much for this part of your new kit, it looks like it's going to be a beauty, I live in Minnesota and we are getting the full force of Winter here.
Your cross stitch is beautiful, I haven't done any for a few years.
