Organic Homemade Bubble Bath

My week started off in the opposite direction of happy, zippy, and oh so jolly.   My nerves needed a calm down time. I've wanted to try this recipe for so long - homemade bubble bath.

Guess what?  I made it but, never tried it last night.  Ha.  Jokes on me I guess for lack of brain memory space.  I was so involved with a crochet project, the night got away from me quickly. It goes to show folks though, how crocheting is a relaxing hobby too.

Snowflake Dishcloth ~ Random Tidbits

Because I just can't stand having only one project going on at one time (and crocheting an umpteenth granny square can become monotonous), and to let the month go by without a "dishcloth of the month" would be a shame.....

 ....here you have it.  A snowflake dishcloth for January.  Honestly, this should be the "icon" for our February here.  We get the most snow that month.

The comfrey poultice I made for my elbow (using dry comfrey and warm water), really helped.  However, I'll need to do it one more time, and that's all I have in the way of comfrey.  I will really save up more this coming summer.  I will just have to refrain from push-ups (oh darn) and anything unnecessary.
