Jewelry - Bracelet

I really enjoy making things and I am learning new techniques everyday. This project was a challenge. This is called a sinnet knot and I added seed beads. This project started out as a necklace. My threads got so tangled I had to cut the threads off before I was finished. So, I turned it into a bracelet.

I found a Youtube video to show you how to make the sinnet knot since the book I used was very confusing. I wish I had seen this video before I started my project.

Jewelry - Vintage Pendant

This pendant was made with my Grandmother's jewelry. It was an earring that I made into a pendant.

Insecticide Spray

I am still making lotions and potions with all of the essential oils I bought. The insect repellent (blog post 7/1/13) worked for about fifteen minutes before the mosquitoes decided the spray tasted like a marinade and NOT a repellent! The deodorant (blog post 7/3/13) worked but I would not recommend traveling with it. It was a melted mess when I arrived at our destination. I will make more and use it only in my home. My next experiment is a homemade insecticide spray. I adapted this one so my husband can use it on his garden. Insecticide Spray 1/2 head of garlic (you do not need to peel them) 1/2 T of pepper flakes 1/2 cup water Process in a blender until smooth then pout mixture through a sieve to remove chunks of garlic or pepper flakes. This is your "base." Pour your base mixture into a spray bottle. Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil. Screw on top and shake.
