Day 47

SELF CARE

Well, this was a disappointment. For my bath today I thought I’d try some Epsom Salts. I’ve never used them before so I didn't know what to expect.

And I’m kind of glad I didn’t expect anything, but it delivered nothing. I thought eucalyptus was supposed to have a strong smell, but it smelled of nothing. I don’t know if I put enough it, or if it’s just a rubbish brand of salts, but it didn’t relax me, or make me feel anything. I won’t be rushing to use the salts for a while!

CRAFT

I’ve never done felting before, so bought a kit from The Works.

It was quite fun and therapeutic, except when I stabbed myself in the fingers. That needle is very sharp. Thankfully no blood was drawn! Felting the body and head were pretty straightforward, but the arms and legs were a bit more tricky.

Once I’d got the bits pretty much done, I got to making it look a bit like my dog by adding her markings.

Putting everything together wasn’t the easiest thing to do as they instructions weren’t clear on construction. I managed to get the arms and legs on but not the head, so that’s stuck on with a sticky foam pad.
