My favourite things

A while ago I posed about mason-dixon knitting and was trying to say that I just can't believe that something this good was there all along and I took almost two years to find it. It's seriously briliant. I've been reading the Yarn Harlot for so long now that I can't remember where I first heard about it. I even read the entire back issues (back blogs? previous blogs? what do you call those?) and it seems this blog was around for over a year before i, a fairly avid (albeit new) knitter found out about it. It seems inconceivable to me. But lately, through a cooperative I'm in, I've learned there are many other coveted WAHM items available. The quality is great, what you receive is handmade, chemical free, preservative free, and reasonably priced.

My goal is to spend 90% of my Christmas budget supporting these moms, or doing something handmade.

Anyway, to do that, you need to know where the best stuff is - here's my list so far:


Here are a couple of other gems:

www.bluehousesoaps.com - they make sumptuous, gorgeous soaps, in delicious fragrances, I'm not kidding it is nirvana. Wow.

Face of the Wave - their wool wash is fantastic - I especially like Dina's Hippie Madness, it's just spicy and sweet unbelievable. I also like their facial cleansing oil, this is a cool new way to wash your face.

Ravelry - I have no idea if you've been living under a rock, but if you have, this is a link you simply must click on. But be ready get heavily addicted.


Butterfly Buggas Don't let the cutesy name fool you, I almost did not order from this WAHM because the name really put me off. But so may people were raving, I decided to put in an order, and I am so glad I did. Her teas are just out of this world, and the melts are SO good, just the right amount of fragrance, and I've used a uarter of one so far with 3 votives, and it's barely used. Such a good value..

I think I'll keep coming back and editing this post with new finds. I love finding this stuff, I hope someone gets me a ton of these goodies for Christmas. If you're reading this blog feel free to let him know at danrroch at hotmail dot com!
