A couple weeks ago I found the recipes for Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub and Vanilla Brown Sugar Scrub which I made for a couple of girlfriends and family for Christmas. I'm using it for weeks now and really love it. You will need: Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub 2 Cups of Brown Sugar 1 Cup of Granulated Sugar 2 Tablespoons of Pumpkin Pie Spice 1 Cup + 1 Tablespoon of Vegetable Oil Vanilla Brown Sugar Scrub 2 Cups of Brown Sugar 1 Cup of Granulated Sugar 1 Cup of Vegetable Oil and 1 Tablespoon of Pure Vanilla Extract. Mix Brown Sugar, Granulated Sugar and Pumpkin Pie Spice/Vanilla Extract together Add in oil and mix well I bought sealed glass containers from IKEA and filled them with the mixture Labeled every single container and put a bow around it A very easy way to have skin, smooth as a baby.
Girls Quilt
I'm in love with my god child Carla. She will turn two in February. Sad thing is, I can only see her a couple times a year since she lives in Germany. To have something special for her, I decided on making a quilt. I still have a lot of leftover fabric from New York, which I collected from exhibitors when they had already left the building after the show had closed. I cut a lot of pinkish fabric in squares and laid them out on the batting which is about 90cmx200cm. After laying it all out, I didn't like it at all! I decided to buy more fabric... I found some really cute girls dresses, c ut them in little squares and sewed it all together. The dress had white/yellow flowers and bows on it. After cutting all of those out, I sewed them to my new little squares. Sewed on the bows. Stitched a stem to the flower Handstitched buttons Can you see i
