\nI’ve been fiddling around with these tags for a while. Sewed the first one on to a cowl that was a custom job. I was a little worried the recipient would be offended that I “tagged” their gift with my logo. My intention was to make it feel more professional, like something you would buy in a store.
\nKind of silly that I would aspire to make my hand knit items look more store bought.

Monday the 26th.
\nI was looking at my new tag and felt just pinning the yarn label onto the cowl would seem kind of cheep.
\nThe illustrations turned out lovely, but the actual care instructions turned out backwards. I’m good at backwards it seems\u2026
\nI’ve been asked what the name le ush\u00e9 means, basically it is the name of the black and white cat.<\/p>\n

\nAnother kitten, a friend named him the knitten kitten. I kind of love that.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nI hit the jack pot at the thrift stores on hand knit items last week, things that I would never have worn, but I loved what they were made from. I felt terrible doing this, so it took a while to start tearing them apart. But someone worked very hard on these. Now there is a tiny chance another knitter or sweater lover would have found these. But there is a bigger chance they may never have sold and ended up in the bin.<\/p>\n<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n<\/a>Thursday I attended a quick class on how to make my own deodorant, \u00a0we also made body wash and \u00a0toothpaste.
\nIt was pretty easy. It has also verified a lot of the DIY reading I’ve done, that with baking powder, baking soda, and vinegar, maybe an essential thrown in \u00a0you can strip paint from old work work, rid your face of blemishes, \u00a0make your puppy behave and help you loose that stubborn baby weight.<\/p>\n
