Tatting!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! If you use earthy colors and embroidery thread you can make nice bookmarks for men. Use patterns that are simple, with rings and only small amounts of chain. Prewind large sewing machine bobbins and use only a metal shuttle that you can open up to fit the larger bobbins. Place several bobbins and a shuttle in a small tin and take it with you everywhere! I even tat while I am walking. This is the truest expression of celtic knotwork possible. PRESERVE THE LOST ART OF TATTING!

I am a soapmaker(using the melt and pour technique) and some of my best soaps are these: Milk and Honey – Oatmeal Spice – Butter Bar (I use cocoa and shea butter for this) – Lavender Citrus – Aloe Vera Mint- Green Tea -Olive oil soap.I also do decorative soap like the Victorian Cameos and other designs that are suited towards Valentines Day and St. Patricks Day (I have a lovely Victorian Heart and some Celtic Designs for both holidays). There are some books out on the subject of M&P Soapmaking (Melt and Mold soapmaking – Soothing soaps just to name a few.there’s a magazine called Create the Dream for people who are into both soapmaking and Candle making with interesting articles on both subjects.There are groups that you can join(public) in regards to soap and/or candle makers and get ideas on recipes for making candles and soaps,there’s a forum that I joined(Soap makers Forum) where you can give a favorite recipe out & get a recipe(or idea) from the other members!!
