Method:
Melted the shea and coconut butter together in a large Pyrex measuring jug, using the microwave on 30sec bursts, sort of stirring in between.
Once completely melted, transferred the melted oils to a stainless steel mixing bowl and stirred until clear. Let cool for a few minutes.
Stirred in the jojoba oil and then the fragrance oil.
The mixture is now sitting in the freezer hardening. It'll probably take about 30min to set to the goal consistency of soft butter.
Today's experiment: making body butter 🙂
1 cup raw shea butter
1/2 cup coconut butter
1/2 cup jojoba oil
1 teaspoon jasmine fragrance oil
....here's to hoping this works out.
Almost done with the wedding shawl for my niece! One row left, and then a beaded picot bind off. 😃

Colorado became the first state Tuesday to ensure farmers can fix their own equipment with the governor’s signing of a “right to repair” law, which forces manufacturers to provide the necessary manuals, tools, parts and software.

Measurement of how buzzed I got on champagne punch at the wedding? I belted out Country Roads by John Denver on the drive home just now.
Finally finished cutting out and weeding 118 of these pretty little glass placards. The digital design is by a wonderful woman in Ukraine. 😊 #cosoCrafting
omg I love my cricut. Currently cutting out a ton of specialty items for my niece's wedding. Will post pictures soon.
Found it! It was KYSR 98.7. Ugh. Feels good to solve that memory itch.
Does anyone remember what radio station Ryan Seacrest co-hosted a morning show on in the late 90s in Los Angeles? It's driving me up the wall. Every site I've found skips over that time period. It's not KIIS 102.7 - I'm wondering if it was 93.3 before Jack FM took over the frequency. Thank you. 💕
...I joked that I was going to shave my cat (due to it being shedding season). She did not find it amusing on this the most sacred of day of the week. I will be giving her offerings of catnip and treats after this public confession.

Hey team,
There's only 9 days till the end of the month. Costs have risen to make the place roomy for all of us.
If you are hanging out here regularly and have the funds to support a Pro membership, then please consider doing so.
If you can't be a regular supporter, how about dropping occasional gifts via DonorBox?
If times are tough, don't worry, we'll still be here for you. Don't sweat it.

Everyone I live with is watching sportsball today, so I'm lace knitting, drinking tea from my high strangeness mug, and eating the best damn cookies on the planet. It's a good day. 😊
I miss Maui. 😔
