I think it is perfect for casting soaps that look like carved coral, ivory, or jade. The coral one is scented with “fresh peach,” and the ivory one is “magnolia” scented.

I’m working on a new batch of Gemsoaps with summer fragrances. This one is cucumber melon.

I deliver!
I hand wash my caps in warm water and Dreft Detergent. I put them in the dryer with a Bounce Free sheet. Then I pop them in a clean zipper bag while they’re still warm. I slap my handmade label on them and deliver them to the birthing center! What a great feeling!

After looking at the following photos, I see that the seams on the solid colored caps are really noticeable. Note to self: Use circular needles when knitting solid color caps.

Beatrix Potter Buttons
They are cute for baby wear anytime, but I epsecially like them at Easter.

Easter Caps!
I dug out my bunny buttons. This one is my favorite (and of course, it’s the most expensive button I buy! I try to use a discount coupon when I buy these at JoAnn.)

Just in time for Easter, I hope!
I’ve just finished a batch of newborn caps for the hospital. Some you’ve seen in construction. This one is “Lemon Pie.”

A box of yarn!
I bought these on eBay. There are a lot of discontinued yarns that can’t be found in stores anymore. I also bid on them because there’s an ivory skein which will match some lace embellishments that my friend, Nancy, gave me.
One woman’s stash is another woman’s treasure!
