Cup o' Wax


I'm at it again, stinkin' up the house with candle scents. Hubby hates it when he finds me melting wax in the kitchen.

This one is peppermint soy in a 12 oz mug. The peppermint isn't very strong. I'm a little disappointed. Maybe after it cures it'll kick up a bit.

I've had such trouble with the soy in 16 oz apothecary jars tunneling when they burn that I've about given up on that idea. I came across these mugs today. They're just too kyewt! They're also smaller diameter so I'm hoping for better luck.

I've read some posts at candle forums that this particular 100% soy wax is hard to work with. What I like about using 100% soy is that the containers are safe to use afterwards - unlike paraffin candle containers.

I enjoyed the cold, rainy, sleety, snow-spitty day today, but I'm ready for more warm days.

School continues to be a brain drain. I missed two pieces to problems on my last batch of homework. What ticks me is that it was plugging the same amount into a tax form on each problem, and she took off 3 points for one, but 4 points for the other. On the previous chapter's homework, she sent explanations of the problems I missed, and her answers were the same as mine!!! What's up with that? I emailed her but got no response. No more internet classes for me.

I really want to sew and craft. Work and school are hindering my creativity.

The candle is very cute. I hope it smells good. I hated high school so much that I have never taken any classes since then not even on line.
