"This Posey in the Square baby blanket is so cute. I probably is for a intermediate crochet person. The squares work up quite fast. The most time is sewing them all together. I usually crochet squares together and this seems to make a cleaner seam. You can do this blanket in all one color too that can be used by anybody. Fun project.."

"This is definitely a very cute baby blanket. It has six sides and works up fairly fast. I like using the same color and not using different color yarn. Perfect size for a baby. This is a fun crochet pattern and easy to do when watching TV. Have fun working on this one..."

"This looks interesting. I must admit I have never thought of using salt, only sugar, but why not!? I think I am going to try this. I infuse my own oils though, I mentioned this when I commented on the sugar body scrub. I think it is a much better idea than essential oils but you do need some sun. Why not make a whole batch in the summer by infusing your favorite peel of citrus fruit in some oil (I use coconut) for a few days, keep them and then use them when you want to make your products."

"This does seem easy enough. I make scrubs too. I like to use coconut oil, I like the way it makes my skin feel after exfoliating. I leave mine in the bathroom and use on my hands in the morning and I don't have to put on hand moisturizer afterwards as my hands already feel soft, not dry. I guess I take the long way around though as I infuse my own oil by placing lime peel, orange peel or whatever (even lemon) in my oil in the sun for about three days and I don't use any essential oils. It is more natural. Here are some photos of my scrub."

"Having recently been introduced to DIY beauty products by daughter making sugar scrubs with essential oils and aromatics, I have decided that this is the way to go. I love fragrances and the thought of making my own combinations is very appealing. I would use these percentage measures in a proportional way depending on how much of this product I want to make. I'm also a fan of coconut oil so I think I will use that."
