Burlap Yardstick Holders

I had to take a timeout from making Wee Folks to whip up one of these yardstick holders.



I got this idea from my Aunt Joy. She made this one 30+ years ago.


Here are some close ups of the folks.



I've started another one with felt chickens. Then I want to make one with a barn and some animals. And then... and then.. and then... Cheers!

Beeswax

I melted some beeswax yesterday and made these heart shaped votive candles. Their burn time has been steadily exceeding 30 minutes. Which was surprising to me. I've not tested a regular votive candle's burn time. (Good science experiment to add to the list!) They are so sweet. They also float! Note: burn time not tested on floaters. You can get the beeswax at The Dutchman Store.
