Smacky

Just plain old sparkly mica.

The alcohol burner is totally different than the oil candles or oil lamps. They are just catalytic burners. You only let it flame for a couple of minutes then blow it out, the burner really works after the flame has extinguished. Yes care needs to be taken using it, but so does an oil candle or oil lamp. This company sells 12 different brands of them. http://www.courtneyscandles.com/frlawibu.html Nice video clip http://www.courtneyscandles.com/frlain.html Ever seen a pocket warmer that hunters and fishermen use? It burns the same way as those do. http://www.hakkin.co.jp/ http://www.mathaba.net/shop/pocket-heater-history.htm http://www.cigarfamily.com/cf4/thread.cfm?Room=Humidor&threadId=22370&z=36 http://www.recipezaar.com/180353 http://fragrancelampekits.com/Howtomakefragrancelampfuel.aspx

I have used a caffeine soap, and what I noticed was that my skin felt tighter after using it. A very temporary feeling, it wasn't drying to the skin, but truly nothing to write home about otherwise.

BTMS is Behentrimonium Methosulfate (and) Cetearyl Alcohol It is a conditioning emulsifier. Wonderful stuff!

hydrolyzed silk, hydrolyyzed silk protein, silk amino acids But not cyclomethicone. That is another thing. You will get a silky afterfeel using it, but it is not liquid silk.

I make my own. Look on the Herbarie and Lotioncrafters formularies, that should get you started.

You are right, it isn't apparent in the finished product.

Do you sell, or is this just for your pleasure? If you're interested in selling a few, please pm me. These are absolutely gorgeous and imaginative.

OOps, got caught by his wife!:tiptoe: :tiptoe: :tiptoe: LOL you naughty girl!!! You know how much I adore his voice, and still you encourage me. Doing great Kitty! TY I don't blame you candlelady for letting that assistant go. I would be livid if someone was using my name and reputation and posting under that. What gall!

Absolutely beautiful and the names you chose are lovely.

Oh yes meant to say if you call it's totally worth it just to listen to Kerry speak! TDF aussie accent.

Please give them a call, they really are very accomidating. I had an order with a slight mixup a few years ago, and the response was immediate and satisfactory. They are a good supplier and go the extra length to make you happy!

I have 2 kitchenaids, but the main thing I look is for a metal detachable shaft. Makes it easier to clean throughly. IMHO

If you had looked at the 2 different links you would have noticed the difference, and maybe understood what I was talking about. The first link was to a site showing what a traditional charm quilt is. The second link is a site that is devoted to selling fat quarters. I NEVER said that fat quarters and charms were the same. In fact I never gave a specific size on the charms, as those vary. I gave a specific size on the fat quarters for the normal 45 inch wide fabric. Looked a bit more at fabric charm packs on-line, and I am seeing that some shops are selling using duplicates, such as in this site. (In other words, 2 squares of each different fabric sold in the charm pack.) http://www.quiltroom.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_CHARM_PACKS___HEXAGON_FABRIC_PACKS_167.html I have never seen the charms sold individualy either and I never said that. Let me try to make this more clearer..the fabrics in a charm pack are or were traditionally sold in an assortment of prints, solids, patterns, etc. without a duplicate in the pack. Have done several charm swaps that each person in the swap contributes a set of fabrics with no duplicates as well. What am I making with fat quarters??? Why is that important? Well....if you must know, the following should explain. I tend to buy fat quarters only for a pet project of mine, bali batiks, for quilted jackets. The scraps from that are used in scrap quilts. I also buy a few fat quarters for baby quilts. Normally I buy fabric in yard and a half pieces, if I think it would be a fabric that I want to be predominant in a quilt, I get more, 3 yards. If I have a specific pattern that I am buying for, I purchase according to its needs and a bit more. I prefer to be safe than sorry and to allow for a cutting mistake. I have been quilting since I lived in Houston and got suckered into taking a friend to the Houston International Quilt Fest back in 1988. That ended up being an annual event for me, and then I suckered my MIL to going to it one year and she was hooked. Nice to share an addiction! I am sending along a link to the quilt fest. Anyone that can go, should go if they like to quilt. The diversity is absolutely amazing, and they do mean INTERNATIONAL! People from all over the world attend this one. You go and cannot help but be inspired by all the creativity. It lasts several days for the show, the classes are normally held earlier than the festival by a few days. The Market is only open to shops and trade only, but if you have a friend that has a shop, ask about it. They might help you to be able to attend. http://www.quilts.com/home/index.php

Just hair conditioner and some quality time with hubby, my dd and sil.

Charm packs should mean that all pieces you get in that pack should be of a different fabric, no duplicates. http://www.womenfolk.com/quilting_history/charm.htm Fat quarters are a quarter yard of fabric in whole, but cut differently than the normal 1/4 yard. It is a half yard cut in half again. A site evoted to fat quarters! http://www.fatquartershop.com/ HTH

I love Lait Sucre, especially blended with other things. Try a little of it with either Black Cashmere or Ambra del Nepal. You 'gotta keep your mind open as to what different fragrances can add to something else.

Fresh Sugar Cane, Tonic, Rosemary Mint.

Looks gorgeous, love all the micas in it. I cannot wait to see it cut!*soap porn approval*

Hubby & I made a presto pot melter today! Only took us 2 pots to make it right. ouch... But now it's done, no leaks and is ready to go. I am happy, he is happy, the world is all right!

Good thing! I was starting to imagine you living in a pillar forest.

I had to look at your site. Lovely BTW, but I have to ask, you offer the monster candle in so many varieties. Surely you make it after it has been ordered?
