And we avoided knocking even one (1) of those jars over, I would like to mention. 
(New coupe glass not included.)

so much deftness! and minimum self-waxing! i am deeply impressed with us.

are they scented? they are lovely.

the wax was a last-minute purchase (i lucked out and found it at my local art store, which has a very hit-or-miss craft section), so no scent this time around; i wouldn't mind experimenting with infusing or essential oils next time, though.

Scents! Scents! Scents!

I spoke too soon.

oh no! must hoard more jars, make more candles. i will increase my mustard consumption accordingly.

SO glad operation make candles was a success.

Also, why does mustard always come in the best jars? They're the most popular ones in our house.

okay also, when me and carinna try and have a crafty girls night we end up completing like, 1/4 of the project. too much ambition? too many distractions? not a long enough evening? i am not sure. but after no less than 3 sessions our felted christmas garland remain unsewn. :/
