Beeswax for a Basket

Brandy of  The Lil Prim Cabin blog and Etsy shop and I recently did a little swap.  We've purchased from each other in the past and decided this time a swap was in order.  I'm calling it the Beeswax for Basket swap.  I just love her beeswax discs - she sent me three of them....

WOW, do they smell good!  

They are all bigger than I thought they'd be too!  

I am amassing quite the collection of blackened beeswax discs.  I'm thinking a wool feather tree in off white might just be the thing to display them on.  I need to talk to my friend Joanne about this idea.  Oh, Joanne any advice?  Yes, Quentin can come help me.

This is my second week of summer vacation and my first blog post.  I've been running kids(mine) all over to weight lifting, practice and games.  Our youngest son and I spent the weekend in Battle Creek Michigan at a 12U baseball tournament.  My husband went with our middle child to a Jr. Acme tournament.  Sure wish we could be in 2 places at once.  Our daughter spent Saturday with Dad & brother and then Sunday she went to MI with me and the youngest brother.  It was nice to have her company at the games.  

I'll try to catch up on all of your doings....

  2. I think the ornies would look great on a feather tree. They are beautiful. Summers get so busy when kids are home. We are on day 4 and it see like 2 weeks have gone by already!! Good luck:)

  13. Hmmm..wax hangers. I'll have to look into these!!! Very pretty. Don't you love baseball season! With four big boys we often had to split who was going where. This time around...Kaden gets full attention! I "suppose" that is an advantage to having a woops baby, lol! Katie

  14. Those beeswax ornies are wonderful! And yes a feather tree would be wonderful but how big are the ornies? You can always make a bigger tree!
