I have been picking up various containers for candles since your post before Christmas. I found a bunch of the old fashioned jelly jars (the kind with the flat tin lid, not the screw on lid) and some cute little fluted tartlet pans. I intend to use the jelly jars for Christmas gifts, and maybe make floating candles with the tartlet pans. Love the berries and cream candle.

When I saw your ideas about candlemaking I was reminded of how we used to make homemade candles. One idea we had was to pour orange wax into a round ice-cream container that was partially filled with small ice-cubes. The ice-cubes left holes in the wax and after removing the container it looked like a chunk of cheese! We then decorated the "cheese" with little plastic mice for fun ;) Can't wait to read more of your ideas and recipes!

I am a new blog reader and I have to tell you I LOVE YOUR BLOG!! You are living my life, I am so jealous. I love animals, have always wanted to live on a farm, although I am not a writer I wrote 1 romance novel and 1/2 of a suspense novel (both sitting in the garage). :( I also wanted to ask what kind of dog Coco is....I have seen his type in different places and I just LOVE his adorable little face!

It had like a solid layer, then a mousse layer, then a creamy layer...it was so cool. LOL Oh, your layered candles remind me of a jello, I loved in the early 70′s, called “Jello 1-2-3″.

One day you make cakes, pies, cookies...or one day you make cheese...or one day is candle day. I love that! LOL We used to have these candles in Germany, that were very popular and I wish I could see my sister's picture of one she had, but it would drip different colors of wax - they were so cool. So, they had to be tall/tapered...but the wax would be all different colors and dry like that, running down the candle. People put them in wine bottles that had basket type bottoms of straw. Stuff like that. The wax would dry in a pretty shape too, trailing down the candle, like lava... Anyway, I LOVE all your candles - they are so pretty! Suzanne, I think you pick “craft days” to have.
