With ear flaps and long braided tassels $20
 

Close up to show the color scheme, very soft yarn

Homemade Natural Lip Balms


These Natural Lip Balms are made by hand by my daughter Kate and her friend Leah.  They are made with natural ingredients such as bees wax, coconut oil, avocado oil, vitamin E oil, cocoa and essential oils. A complete listing is available.

Four flavors available, each tube is $4
~ Coco Mint
~ Vanilla Mint
~ Spearmint
~ Natural unflavored

My daughter has her own Facebook page titled "GreenLeaf Creations", but she has asked that I feature the lip balms through my blog as well.  They sold so well at the Red Bow Shopping event that they made some more in the afternoon.  A portion of her profits go to purchase chickens/rabbits for families in 3rd world countries.

2 Lil' Red Girls Aprons

Oh how good it feels to be able to update this blog once again!  The sewing machine has sat collecting dust all through out the summer.
My husband also brought me an old Viking sewing machine home, so these are the first two aprons that I have sewn on it.  Still working out the kinks, but I think I like the "new" machine.
Seen on a 10 year old model
 The first one is approx. size 7-11 year old.

 Cute little ric rac detail and 2 red buttons for height adjustment on the neck strap.
Comparison of 2 Lil' Reds Aprons.
 Approx. size 5-9 years old.

 Four extra buttons for added cuteness as well as functioning to adjust the height.

Four Little Girls Aprons hangin' from the tree ~

Finished three little girls aprons, have another almost finished, so I'll add it later.

Yes, I haven't done very much sewing this winter ~ we've moved to another province and I have to use my dining room for sewing ~ thus, not much sewing was accomplished.

I am also working with a "new" old Singer sewing machine and it seems to love the oil.  It's pretty high maintenance.

I will be experimenting with different spots to take photos as well...

( Wondering if the girls little playhouse will be conducive for photos)
 Purple flowers apron in size 1-3 littlest girl size.
Size 1-3
It features 2 adjustment buttons at the neck and a tie waist.  It is fully lined and has a dainty lace hem ~ $15


Size 3-5
A "sister" apron ~ I made 2 aprons with only slight differences.  Both have a 2 button adjustable neck strap and a high waist band tie.  They both have a delicate lace hem.

Perfect for sisters, friends or cousins!
