So for those of you that don't know, or haven't figured it out yet, I like to live the simple life. What I can I make. I know whats going into it, and its fun to say I made this. Things like this are becoming a lost art, people would rather pay than to learn. Sneak peak at life here on the farm So around October of last year, my husband left work a couple weeks for work, I was at home with the next several days off, it was snowing... hard, and I was just sitting here on the couch drinking my coffee, burning a candle admiring how long this candle has burned compared to the others I usually have. So I began reading. Turns out that soy wax, not only is it natural, doesn't leave a black residue on the containers (or your walls), but it burns a LONG time. I went a head and ordered a small batch of times to make a few at home. Why not right? To be honest I spent less ordering all the items to make the candles than I would have had I bought the candles at the store.
