I wade through and finally get to my work table which has nuts and bolts,spanners etc scattered every where ( my eldest son has obviously been messing around with his skate board again) Grrrrrrr I wouldn't mind but moved here a year ago so i could have a garage to work in!!!
It is now 11am by the time i have cleared all the tools, it's Tuesday morning meaning my daughter is at pre school until 12 noon...only an hour left to make something.
I measure the soy wax and place on in the double boiler...wax starts to melt and i get a sigh of relief then the door bell goes, sooooo i switch it all off (safety reasons..never leave wax melting unattended)..I get to the door to find the postman, but nothing exciting for me today...I go back to the garage and start to make again....
The double boiler goes on, and stare at it until it starts to melt, get a spoon and swirl it around to give it a little helping hand, the temperature now gets to 135f so i can add the dye...2 more minutes of stirring and then let cool, find a mould and then add the fragrance "Angel wings" stir again for a further 2minutes then i can pour into the mould....a big smile is appearing on my face as the aromas are filling my garage and i'm finally feeling relaxed.
Now the hot wax is setting so have time to check the website/ facebook oh no its time to do the school run so no internet.
The time is now 1.30pm we have had lunch and taken photos of products that are already made, time to update the website...
2.55pm school run again to collect my son...dinner to cook,homework to be done.
The time is now 7pm and i can go back to my heaven and help my self relax and wind down whist doing what i love...making candles :-)))
