Homemade stuff!!!

I've taken my time at home to do some homemade crafting. This includes sewing myself a dress, making my own moisturizer, cooking mint curried chicken, and making Greek yogurt!!! Okay, the yogurt we didn't start exactly from scratch, but basically using just a tablespoon of store bought Greek yogurt and a quart of whole milk, you can make a tub of yogurt!! Yummy!!





Sewing was fun - I had a little bit of help putting in the zipper and hemming it up nicely (and also cleaning up some of the rough edges). But in the end, I had a dress that fit me well and that nobody else in the world has!! Pretty cool!



The moisturizer I'm a little unsure about. I read that all you needed was equal parts olive oil, coconut oil, honey (or beeswax), and water. So I had just that and mixed it together as directed, then left in the fridge to solidify. But it's not quite blended.... I'm skeptical but intrigued.
