Today I made Calendula mango butter Salve~ plain and lavender essential oil. I try to always have this on hand, especially in the summer. Sunburns. Heat rash for my precious grandbaby. Oven burns. Its the perfect Salve, especially with lavender essential oil added, for sensitive, delicate skin.

I usually use Shea butter, but one of my sweet kiddos is severely allergic to nut oils and Shea butter. I started using mango butter instead, and its a game changer. Its so smooth and applies like a dream.

A few years ago I started making homespun gifts for the kiddos. Lately I've been making cross stitch; taking it with me to the many appointments the kiddos have. Definitely passes the time a lot faster.

I was working on my youngest son's cross stitch when my eldest son passed. It took me a while, but I kept going. I forced myself to finish. And then I got another one, as a vow to keep going. My eldest son loved old books. This reminds me of him. 🥰

I'm almost finished, so my Bestie sent me two more... "to keep going". And oh boy, the detail on this is gunna keep me going for a LONG TIME. 😳

Bestie knows I LOVE barn quilts. So this is going to be a beautiful challenge.

Just keep going.

My beloved son, Elijah, was a black man. He may be gone, but my experience as a white Mum raising a black Son is not erased. Today we take a moment to honor Juneteenth.

So this is love ....

Ya know, I gotta hand it to my Husband. It's not often he surprises me, but yesterday he sure outdid himself. 🙌

I spent HOURS on ONE door, ONE side of the door. I kept reapplying the paint stripper and it was a SLOW GO. He kept saying, "Patience, have some Patience. " After hours of my struggle, this man comes out with a new to me tool in his hand, turns on the generator, and gets to work. Since WHEN do we have a heat gun!?!?! Mama LIIIIIIKE!! (I'm sure the VERY reason he hasnt told me about it! New mischief unlocked! )

The door literally took 10 minutes with that heat gun. But after 8 hours, I was pretty spent. Oh the joy and beauty of power tools! Today we will do the other side of the door and sand it all down to its glory. 🙌

Today I will try not to summon the Puritan Spirit... no promises. 🤷‍♀️
