Monster's Ink

Yeah, the subject line is freaking juvenile, but that's about how I feel at the moment.

I've been appallingly lazy about writing, but last night I made lotion for the first time since Christmas. About 17 fl. ounces in all; one large bottle, two small bottles, and the excess deposited in a little disposable Rubbermaid container. Fragrance is a random mixture which I haven't really learned yet, but I'm pleased with the texture. (I'm pleased because it isn't rock solid.)

Also, I should try coming up with a wider variety of crafts that require--or at least allow me to use--smelly oils. I didn't fully appreciate until last night just how many fragrance oils I have.

Come to think of it, decorative candles are starting to look good right now. I used to think candlemaking was rather superfluous, and to some degree I may still be right about that, but it WOULD be a handy way to use up extra FOs.

The real discovery of last night, however, is that I do have a kitchen scale after all. No more guesswork on amounts. (Or at least not very much guesswork.)
