Getting Studio in order

I have been working on getting my studio back in order.  My husband had done some work in the basement and a lot of the items got shoved into the little work room where I do my work.  I did some work also trying to get things organized.  I cleaned out a closet and put some items in there so the room would be a little easier to navigate and work.

Now I'm trying to get all my candle making equipment and supplies together.  It seems some of the supplies are shoved under a bunch of other boxes and some of them are in my work area.  I will have to figure out how to get things together so they can be used.

My next candle project is to make some more tarts.  I have some I need to make for halloween.  I think I have some skulls and some fingers.  These would make great tarts to be placed around the house.  They are both perfect for a little scare.

After that, I would like to make some pillar and votive candles.  I haven't decided on the colors or the scents yet.  I have even thought about making fire starters out of pine cones.  These make really nice fire starters.  Not only do you start a fire, but you get the nice scent of pine.  This would be a great Christmas scent to have coming out of the fire place.

It looks like I have some work ahead of me.  I hope I can get it done in time to list for the holidays.

  3. Organizing indeed takes time and patience. At least you have your "what to make next" list. I'm not sure I know what candle tarts are? Do the shapes stay or do they melt into a puddle?

  5. Busy, busy, busy! The problem I have when I organize is that I forget where I put things! lol Hopefully you won't have that problem.

  6. LOL and I thought I was the only one who organized and then thought, "Now where did I put that?"
    Hope you get all that organizing done so you can get your candle tarts done and listed in time for Halloween. The scented pine cones sound great, just wish I had a fireplace!
