Holy Hannah, Batman! Is that a Glitten?!

Yes indeed, Robin. It is in fact a glitten. You realize this can only mean one thing... I'm done with all my washcloths. Here's your proof:

And that's not even all of them. Yikes. I dropped the order off today and I'm done! I have to say I have this immense feeling of accomplishment and pride. I put together 44 facial care bags and 2 "For Him" bags and got them out the door today, without too much stress. There was the glitch of not having *nearly* enough rosewater, but that stress only lasted a day or so. Then I talked with the customer who was okay with getting her stuff a couple days later, and voila! I did have to knit 2 washcloths this morning to get it all ready, but pulled it off and left the house around noon. So I decided to reward myself by knitting some wool.

Here are pics of what the gift bags look like, now that I have changed my packaging procedures. Oh, and let me tell you the mess we had here Saturday night trying to fill those cold cream bottles. Pouring didn't work as it was too thick and the necks are too narrow. So I thought the jerky gun would work. Nope, nozzle not small enough. I finally settled on stuffing the cold cream in a plastic bag with the corner cut off and squeezing it into the bottles. Yes, I filled about 30 bottles this way. Then I decided to pour it before it gets that cool so it's still a little runny. That worked for the last few, but there's this *very* fine line between "cool enough it stays mixed" and "too cool that it doesn't pour". But I made it, they're out the door, and the customer is excited. What more could I ask for?

Oh, I wrote a new washcloth pattern too, but don't know what to name it. Any suggestions?

Almost Out of the Woods

I haven't updated in too long. I waited to put up the Cyber Monday items until they were listed since it was supposed to be kind of an exciting surprise. I will put some pics of those things up later when I don't have to worry about ds spraying vinegar and Windex all over the bathroom.

As for the large order I have going on here... I have enough washcloths to be done but I grossly miscalculated (well, I didn't calculate, and that's where the problem came in) the amount of rosewater I would need so I had to rush ship it from Utah. It should come tomorrow. I have all the cold cream done, packaged, and ready. I just need the rosewater to make the astringent and then I think I have to make a few more lip balms and I'm good to go. Who'd believe it? Other than the freakout of not having enough rosewater (I'm talking I was more than a gallon short. BIG deal), it has gone rather well. Who would've thought I could pull this off?
