RobinInOR Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Yay, another week done. What are you all working on for this first week of June? Isn't the year going fast? Gee, pretty soon we'll all need to start working on holiday items again! I didn't do anything last weekend besides market since I was sick, so I've got a bunch of catching up to do. Patchouli will be on the list definitely. Not sure what else is on the low stock list - probably anise. And I want to do a plain, unscented, oat flour, cream, and honey. What's up with you guys?

FarmerJill Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 We started harvesting strawberries this week - good news, I guess, because it means we'll finish that crop up early this year, maybe even before the 4th of July (Yeah!). But it also means my wax is just sitting and staring at me. I try to apologize to it at least once a day but I'm pretty sure it's still pouting. Maybe have to schedule a midnight rendezvous....

Fire and Ice Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Nothing in my pots due to my supplier being out of wax for the next two weeks. When I'm able to get my wax, I'll be pouring like a mad woman for a five day show over the 4th of July. I restock some of my scents but I still need to order others as well as reorder clamshells from Mill Creek. I went through 800 of them in three months!

Candle Kitty Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Let's see....today it's doing a mahogany rustic pour for Firewood, then try to figure out something unique for Strawberry Cheesecake. Help Erika out more with her tapers, I'm trying to find a digital scale because mine (not digital)is about ready to blow up on me, I'm surprised I'm still getting accurate measurements from it...Probably some Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough....maybe some tropical scents, everything is the new shipment from Lone Star and I've yet to smell one that I'm not itching to get into a candle to start testing it.Too many scents, not enough time.

Penny Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'll be working on my forever candles and some B&B stuff, but mostly my forever candles. I'm going in my workroom and lock out everybody. I finally realized that everyone in the house has plenty of free time to do whatever they want because I'm there doing everything for them. This weekend I'm going to do what makes me happy. Sorry, I got off on a vent; but, WHEW, that felt good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindy5140 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Well lets see, I will be retesting my tins, making tarts, some 8oz mason jars and have to make some ducky soap. I already have the boxes for the swap done. Find a baby sitter for Baby G so I can help out at fun day at the school, which is Monday. Go to T.ball and Softball games and go waste money at the local firemens fair. I hope everybody has a great weekend, Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 If you're doing patch I'm on the way! LOL!OK what's been in the pot is a mixture and what's going to be in the pot will be a mixture (seeds and stems excluded ... ha ha and J/K!)Better than SexCoconut MilkWatermelon Cherry PlumZen TeaRussian Tea (all semi done)Can't decide dang it if I should do Apple Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, Coconut Macaroons, Pink Pepperberry or Gardenia (get that out of the way amen), grandma's kitchen, Apple Tini or Sandalwood Rose. Either way, have time off from working too hard so now I can hit the wax. Plenty to keep me busy, just a little too busy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyinME Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Working on deer pillar candles. I did one for my brother for his BD, took it to work to show & got orders for more!! The only problem is I paint the candles so they take longer to do. I'm trying to get a few done up, so I can paint them all at once. Why is it that candles that are more time consuming are the ones that always sell the best??!!Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
