[Nfb-krafters-korner] What projects are you working on?

[minh ha]

I love hearing what everyone is working on. I've kind of taken a break
on loom knitting because I am so busy with my internship and summer
classes. I do pick up the projects on them once in a while when I have
an hour or two or when I am listening to a book.

I am working on kick starting my pet business of selling a few
varieties of fleece tug toys for dogs in about a week. It's been a lot
of working involving hand cramps and headaches just figuring out
logistics, but I am having a ton of fun with it and my boyfriend is
designing my website so I can streamline the purchasing process and
make it really professional. I'd love for you all to check it out and
spread the word once it is up. :)

Besides that project, I am getting a little obsessive with learning
and using more essential oils. I love using natural products,
especially for me and my guide dog, so I've been switching over to
applying essential oils in every aspect in my life. So far I've made
shampoo and conditioner for me and Viva, natural ear cleaners, bug
sprays, bath salts, and a bunch of different skin care remedies. My
friends think I'm crazy, but it's been a blast making my own stuff and
I have to say, my hair and skin have never felt better, and it's a
huge relief to know I am decreasing the amounts of toxic ingredients I
am putting into our bodies.

Cheers,
Minh

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
