Tie Dye Blanket Project!

This was the first time attempting to make an 8 pointed Mandala! I thought the before and after pictures would be fun to show everyone! 

This twin size bed blanket took a lot more time, and dye than I had anticipated. It took me about 1.5+ hours to dye just one side of the project. Thats not including the time it took to refill bottles, or tie the project. Using over 8 different colors of dye and many refills I am excited to see how the blanket turns out! 

I normally tie dye these larger projects with my fiance, Paul. Although my eagerness to want to make a mandala blanket led me to do it without him. After working over 5 hours on this project I was relieved when Paul came home and was able to help me finish this piece! This size of a project defiantly flows better with two people, now I know.

I now have a new appreciation for why tie dyer's sell these mandala designs for a pretty penny! There is a lot of time, energy, dye, and love that goes into making these larger tie dye projects!!!

Now, for the final result...

Our new tie dye blanket! 

Tie Dye Blanket!

So the 8 pointed mandala did not come out in the center. Although, you can see that is was cut in half. The two points almost connect in the center, and the middle of the star can be found at the top and bottom of the bed. Still cool though, right? 

We think so! Not bad for a first time. Now I know to fold it the opposite way I did last time. The center of the blanket reminds me of those brain scan images, and I love the colors!

New Line of Soy Candles!

New Soy Wax Candles!

Nag Champa 8 oz Soy Wax Candle

Earthy Scent of Nag Champa

It's been a while since Paul and I have been in the kitchen stirring up candles! Our first batch made in Washington State, and our new line of Natural Soy Candles are now Available Here!

We decided to move from using Paraffin Wax to using an Eco-Friendly Soy Wax! We choose to use Soy Wax based on these benefits:

Soy Wax Candles are...

• Clean burning & Non-toxic
• Soy burns twice as long & Cooler than paraffin candles
• Eco-Friendly
• Soy is a renewable resource unlike paraffin which contains petroleum. 
• Does not excrete harmful chemicals or leave behind that black smoke on your walls, ceilings, & furniture!
• By purchasing soy candles you are helping the US economy and the US farmers because soybean vegetables are grown in the United States! 

We  also choose to keep our new soy candles their natural creamy color by not using colorants which can be carcinogenic. 

Our new soy wax candles are going to be available in 8 oz fairy like glass jars with lids, and in 6-Pack Tea Light Sets.

Look out for these scents to be listed within the couple weeks:
- Sage & Lemongrass
- Lavender

We love to accept custom orders are always accepted for special scents and sizes!
