After watching Kirsty Allsop the other night, I finally ordered all the ingredients to make some lip & hand balm and I’m so excited, I fit to burst! I also ordered some lovely tins to put them in and will have to start thinking about designing some labels.
I have been scouring the web for recipes for hand and lip balm and have narrowed it down to a 3 or 4 which are pretty much the same but are giving me some inspiration.
I’ve never made my own beauty products before so it will be an adventure and I really hope it turns out well, especially as I use so much lip balm during the winter months so it will save me a fortune!
Also, I’ve just discovered Folksy – have you seen it? Its as nice as Etsy but all English so the postage is much better. I’m going to make a special attempt to pull my finger out and make some stuff to put up on sale there. Anyway, if you are stuck for a Christmas gift and want something different, go take a look!
I’m also waiting for 2 lots of wool to be sent to me, I won them on eBay at the start of last week and they still haven’t arrived – I’m chewing at the bit as I want to start knitting gifts with them!
