Today was a long day of working on making new washcloths and taking pictures, all in between working from 8-6. I go to work at 8 and stay until 12-1 depending on the lunch rush. My situation is a bit unusual in the most delightful way. I work where I live, I live where I work. I also live where my mother's family once lived 45 years ago. It's really nice to still be able to use it. It's a wicked bad apartment, full of character, built long ago. They don't make them like this anymore.
I love to create everything I can. I knit, crochet, make all natural soaps and pure beeswax candles. I have made my own lipbalm and I hope to make a variety of beeswax based, natural body products.
I also love to bake! I made a lovely pumpkin gingerbread loaf recipe at work today. I used a whole cup of fresh chopped ginger for 3 jumbo loafs!
I used this recipe, doubled so I could use a large can of pumpkin puree. I do not recommend this unless you have a really big bowl to mix in.

to use fresh ginger for ground, use 1 tbs fresh for each 1/8 tsp of ground.
That's alot of ginger, but it's a good way of using up old ginger that you can find in the reduced produce.
I posted 4 new items today on etsy!

I am getting real tired now, and I'm going to post more tomorrow.
Goodnight
