It’s a fun and busy year

Hi everyone! I hope all are well. It’s turning into a very busy year for us. I’ve been super busy filling orders, getting ready for a silent auction for a charity event, and making new products. Currently, I’m attempting a body butter and a lotion bar. I’m really excited and hope they turn out.

The great fails of beeswax

This is the one…sort of

Happy new year! I hope everyone is staying warm on this very cold day. I decided to finally try a recipe in one of my books by Petra Ahnert. I decided to substitute the lanolin for extra cocoa butter just in case there was an allergy to wool. It worked out though because this lip moisturizer feels so good on your lips.

I love making candles

These are just some of the beautiful candles I make. Just looking at this picture I can smell the honey. Not long after this picture was taken a friendly bee came by and began walking on them.  I love making 100% pure beeswax candles.

Candle making

I’ve decided to make candles with the wax from our bees and it turns out I love it. I’ve gotten pretty good at the pillars. The honey scent is so nice. I tried experimenting with different scents and smells. Those are a bit tricky. Now I have a new mold for an owl and I love it. I’m working on perfecting it. More pics coming soon.
