Crafts: Ginger Honey Sugar Scrub. Sugar scrubs are so easy to make and customize to your tastes. This is one of my own recipes and a personal favorite. Ingredients 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup white sugar 2 tbsp ginger 1/2 cup Macadamia Nut Oil 2 tbsp honey Thoroughly mix the brown and white sugars, the white sugar will keep the brown from clumping too much so there will be an even consistency. Sugar is a humectant, and will help retain moisture. Then add the ginger, which is a natural anti-inflammatory. You may wish to add more or less than 2 tbsp depending on how strongly you like the ginger scent. Then add the oil and honey mixing very thoroughly. There are many other oils that can be substituted or mixed if you prefer, vitamin E, sesame, grapeseed, olive, jojoba, almond, apricot and sunflower, to name a few. Now you'll want to pour/spoon the scrub into a container, mason jars do nicely, and add a ribbon if it's a gift or if you just like pretty things.
Orange Hoopla. Inspiration Anthro : Catch and Release Scarf. So here is my tutorial for the Catch and Release Scarf from Anthro. Better late than never right? Materials: - 1 piece of fabric about 90 inches long- elastic thread- matching thread (all purpose)- rit dye (optional)- tailors chalk- sewing needle * Your fabric needs to be light weight, breezy, and somewhat see thru. I think a cotton voile, cotton lawn, or cotton gauze would work really well. 1 - Cut your fabric so that you have one long piece that is about 90" x 17" 2 - To finish the two long edges fold in 1/4", press, fold another 1/4", and press again. 3 - Leave the top thread of your machine with your normal all purpose thread. 4 - Using your tailors chalk, mark 3 vertical lines down the middle of your fabric - each 4 inches apart. 5 - With all purpose thread as your top thread, and elastic thread as your bottom thread, stitch all three vertical lines from top to bottom allowing it to gather as it goes. 9 - If you want a different color as I did, use RIT dye to dye your scarf.
Leg Warmers - These leg warmers will be most appreciated in the dead of winter when temperatures plummet and winds wail, but be sure to have them crocheted and ready to wear.
