The Kassel Family Project Life 365

Andy and I went to Musket Cellars for bottling day.

We helped to bottle eight types of wine, totaling 5,000 bottles, over the course of about 4 hours.

It was quite an enjoyable day that ended with us getting to taste all the wines. My favorite of the group was the Rosada, a Chambourcin finished like a Rosé.

It is such a fun time helping our friends to bottle their wines. I am already looking forward to the next time!

John and Andy are working to finish the Cooking merit badge. It is time to document everything.

The Crazy Soap Lady was busy this weekend. First, I replenished my Lavender, Peppermint, and Tea Tree stock. The finished product ended up looking like Neapolitan ice cream, which was not my original intention, but it is a fun soap!

Then, I made “Hearts or Clovers.” I saw this on an Instagram reel as a themed soap for St. Patrick’s Day. Since I did not see the reel until March 17, I decided to do different colored hearts. I love the way these turned out! Now, all I need to find is a scent that will go well with St. Patrick’s Day to make these next year.

I followed up that one with “Wildflowers and Honey Bees.” This is a new silicone mold, and I wanted to see if I could do the bees in a different color. These turned out so cute.

I wrapped up the day using a scent from CandleScience called, “Sea and Stone.” I decided to try to make a sea-themed soap. I absolutely love these, and the scent is great.

Add in the nine soap bars made from the “Stress Relief” scent, and I made a total of 35 bars of soap. It was a great way to spend some weekend time.

I nearly have John’s graduation announcements completed. This is the front.

This is the back. I still need to fill in the date and time of his open house.

I also matched the thank you card to the front of the announcement.

I can cross something else off my Senior list.

The sign is in the yard!
