Things I did while waiting for the holiday rain to stop: made some candles. And now all the rain is snow.
The big one was poured into a wax carton, which is something I wish I used more of, because then you get a candle that's free-standing. That one has scented wax and smells really good. The others I tried to add fragrance, but it takes a lot of essential oil and still you end up with only faint scent. That one has a chip out of the side but I still like it. I used cotton twine for the wick.
