Getting in Deeper...Literally

 

It is January.

 

Unofficially I am continuing the candle business.

It is unofficial because Warren and I have yet to sit

down and have that LONG discussion about whether

this is continuing or not.

However,

short chats have led to an agreement to

try some changes......

Big changes that have to happen to make it work.

 

One of the biggest is that I'll be moving my

workspace to the room that Mikey used to occupy.

 

He's been moved out several months now and gives no

hint of wanting to come back.

He is in a very good place with very nice roomates.

We are happy for him and are always thrilled

when he pops in whether for a few minutes

or for a day or two.

Of course the rest of the family gets to see

him at work.

Made easier since they all work at the same

theater.

 

I haven't heard any more from the salon owner about the

space she may be offering me.

However, the more I think about leaving the house

to work the less I like the idea.

That's not to say that it still may not happen

but I think I really want to give this new

arrangement a real chance first.

 

I say I'm getting in deeper because his room

is in our lower level

right next to Warren's

"man cave".

 

I'm going to get buff carrying the boxes

up and down the stairs.

Seriously, buff.

*grin*

The soy boxes themselves are

50 pounds.

Yep, I'm going to get into

shape...if it doesn't kill me.

 

In the meantime the creative juices have been flowing

and I've been creating both mentally and literally.

 

For this month's feature fragrance

 I created a new fragrance that Chelsea

has been after me to make for quite some time.

Peppermint Mocha.

Yum!

 

I continue to experiment with palm wax, wood wicks

and cotton wicks.

Today I found some adorable containers to make up

goodies for weddings and Valentine's Day.

 

Oh Joy!

I'm having fun again.

 

As you may have seen in an earlier post

I'll be offering soap made by

some friends with soapmaking experience

and I'm looking into making

coordinating lotions.

 

Lots going on here!

 

Thanks to all of my dear friends and readers

who have been so supportive.

I've got a temporary reprieve.

I'll try to make good on it.

Two things have to happen:

 

First....I have to turn a profit.

Secondly,

I have to make our house a home once again.

 

That will be so wonderful!
