Wind Chimes, Candles, Incense....Oh My!

MAN!  I am having so much fun cutting up my fingers.  Seriously!  I never thought I would say I love cutting glass as much as I love(d) making bath and body products.

I bought a sample pack of stained glass on Ebay and had some fun with it.  This is the first set I made.  I looked at it once I finished it and laughed uncontrollably.  Then I looked at it and smiled.  It reminded me of my first (or was it my third) batch of cold process soap.  

My first set of chimes.
 This is my absolute favorite batch of soap.....EVER.
I made this set for my mom. 
After I made the set for my mom she bought the glass and had me make these for her and my granny.  I like them.  Simple and pretty kewl.  I love the crackle glasses.
 
I made this set for the Military brat Etsy challenge.  Part of me wants to take it apart and do it over.  Another part of me feels it was meant for these chimes to be this way.  SO...I leave them as they are.
This was my first kaleidescope chime set.  I wanted to do something with all of the "scrap" pieces I had in a box.  The pieces are chipped, scratched and SO not perfect.  It's meant to be this way.  I sold it. :~)

The Happy Hour Kaleidescope set is a favorite of mine. 

Pumpkin Vanilla Latte is the limited edition candle I made for the Fall.  I love love love this candle.  It smells SO good.  My inspiration for the candle was the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte.  The manager of our local shoppe always lets me know right before it gets there and always knows exactly what I want when I show up.  Today I had a cold Pumpkin Spice.  It's amazing.

I've got Absinthe incense coming.  They are awesome.  I have Plush Pumpkin incense on the way and several others. 

I am having SO much fun.  Now that I feel I have the creative freedom to be "creatively free" I am happy and spontaneous and being creative again.  I don't miss making bath and body products.  I wake up and think....what can I make today?  THEN I make sure I know exactly where the band aids and neosporin are and start cutting glass.  And on that note....I am going to watch a little inspiration and then think about the next set of chimes.  

XOXOXOXOXOXO
