Rocks, Compost, Soap

Hello!!
So… Jeff made it back from Lune River safe and sound. I got in from the soap workshop to find both him and Pip napping together on the back couch! Pip was so happy!

Jeff said he had all his finds out for me in the lounge room on the coffee table for a show and tell. By the time I got there, Pip was proudly sitting among them of course!

Anyway, Jeff had a great time. Found lots of petrified wood and some very cool pieces of agate.
I need to make time to get some photos
Its nice to have him home again!!

My long term compost project. Been wanting to get a third bay forever… now I have a new kind so will have to change the other two when I empty them

Luckily we have Cousin Jeff who randomly drops pallets off for us!

I am copying Fionas compost – so they are the full size of the pallets and lined with old shade cloth

I’ll put stakes at the front so I can slip down timber as a front that can be removed and all the compost accessed when needed.
(Unfortunately with the sloping land things aren’t all that even but I really don’t care enough to go and dig and level the site. Nup. Got other things to do!)

Meanwhile, as I am getting creative with compost, Jeff was down the back splitting some more kindling as we ran out!!
Pip was down there for some snoopervising. Hitched a ride back up.

The cool kids on the block really…

Pips got the pirate squint happening!

And lastly… soap. The ‘Shimmy’ that we cut yesterday at the workshop!
Cedar and Saffron. Smells so good and I really like the shimmy effect!
We had five in the class yesterday and it was a lovely day!

I am thinking that now is the time to start experimenting with Christmas soap designs…. back to google for me!!

Hope your weekend was fabulous and your new week has started well!
Cheers
