Candling

Well this is the reason - one of the reasons. Probably the main reason - why I have not been blipping so much recently.

Much of my time has been spent stirring wax in a pot, pouring it into moulds and painting it when it comes out. This was to be my first attempt at a craft fair but it was something of a damp squib. The fair was dead. Hardly anyone came through the door. It did make me wish I hadn't put so much effort into it but I did enjoy making the candles. And people did seem to like them which is a relief. They are soy wax candles with a Scottish theme and I had Speyside (whisky and pine needle scented - quite popular) Shortbread, Gaelic Coffee and others. I expect I could have sold quite a few more had there actually been a few people coming in to the market.
