Hello! Today we have had lovely, cool weather. It's been in the eighty's for a few weeks and very dry. I live in a rural area so most driveways here are gravel. When it doesn't rain for a while, it gets dusty. We had rain yesterday and partially through the night. The high was around sixty degrees! Can you tell I love cool weather?
After getting my children off to school, I decided to spend part of my day making a lovely candle. My son gave me a candle for Christmas that smelled like cinnamon rolls. It made my home smell warm and inviting, so I lit it for an hour or so every day.
It didn't take long for it to burn down in it's cute ceramic jar. At this point the wick was gone. The problem was it still had a lot of wax left in the bottom.
I carefully removed the remaining wax from the jar. I had a glass jar set in a pot of simmering water. I added the wax plus more from another candle stub to the jar.
While it was melting, I added two fresh wicks to the ceramic jar. Then after the wax was melted, I carefully poured my new candle back into the jar my son gave me.
It took a while to set, but my home smells like cinnamon rolls once again!
