Bath Melts
Cocoa butter melted and poured into silicone ice cube trays already half filled with lavender flowers. Drip a drop or two of essential oil into each heart.
Play dough coloured with beetroot juice as mentioned on my blog alread;, friends have liked this so we made a few batches to give away.
And my favourite! Fudge! I seem to eat half of every batch I make and so need to make more. I made some with Green & Blacks Maya chocolate yesterday and it was all eaten rather than packaged - Is this family-fudge Felix asked? Ummmmm yes, my mouth was too full too answer but the teeny lone square left over would make a pretty paltry gift. Guess I just better make more....
My next post will be my not so quick gifts which are shaping up and I am so excited to be making them, lack of time as always but that's half the fun this time of year - in any case I am glad my 'rushing' is at home with my sewing machine and not in some high street in Town :)

Gorgeous gifts for some lucky people - isn't this how Christmas should be?
I've had these ideas floating around for a while, but never seem to be able to get it together. Your gifts look so tempting I think I'm off to find ingredients for some messing about tomorrow. Emma :-)
Love those bath melts and the chocolate fudge sounds yummy!!! If my to do list was not already FULL I would definitely put them on there... Did I tell you already that I am making a Waldorf/Steiner doll for Talia (inspired by you of course)???? So far I have made the head, quite a lot more to do obviously, but at least I have started.... Looking forward to reading about what else you have been making.. X
You know, that comment at the end of your post has really struck a chord. I would MUCH prefer to rushing on the sewing machine, than around the shops. You have spurred me on to not neglect my ideas simply because I feel I don't have the time. Thank you.
I love that you're making your gifts. The playdough is great.
Been trying to make toffee tis week, argh! lol
