My evenings and weekends are spend endlessly updating my website http://dewonapetal.com/, reading the Etsy forums, posting new items in my online stores, making things, and what little time left, sleeping.
I've recently in the past few months discovered soy wax. Imagine that. I've been making candles off and on for 15 years, but I always used paraffin wax, which can be tricky. I decided to make candles as gifts for my co-workers this past Christmas, and that's when I discovered how amazing soy wax really is. It's eco-friendly, easy to work with, doesn't give off any fumes, and supports local farmers. Unfortunately, the price of soy wax has increased tremendously since last fall. That's a shame. It irritates me no end that natural, organic products always end up being more expensive so that only the elite can afford to live healthy. In any case, I purchase all my supplies wholesale and try to pass on the savings to my customers as much as possible.
