introduction The Beauty of Pure, Handmade Soap If youve picked up this book, theres a good possibility that youre consciously choosing to reduce synthetic ingredients in your life. Handmade soap lathers and cleanses just as well as commercial soap but doesnt have harsh ingredients, and you can mix and match the ingredients to come up with a soap that is just right for you. For example, coconut oil is a great cleanser and produces good lather, but used at 100 percent, it can feel drying to some skin. To balance it out, you can combine it with a myriad of other oils that are gentler. Olive oil, for example, is commonly used because skin loves it and it creates a stable, conditioning bar. Avocado oil, sweet almond oil, and rice bran oil contain vitamins and skin-loving fatty acids, and theyre cost effective. Castor oil adds extra bubbles. Shea butter and cocoa butter have wonderful moisturizing properties. With homemade soaps, you control the additives. Ingredients such as coffee grounds and crushed walnut shells add gentle exfoliating power. Oatmeal can provide soothing relief for itchiness. Infused oils provide extra moisturizing and calming properties for difficult skin. Having a pharmacopoeia of custom-made natural soap ingredients means you can create the best product for your skin, using different formulas as needed. This book contains over 30 fully tested recipes for almost every skin type and occasion. Another reason to make your own soap is that its an environmentally sound practice. In the past few years, an entire population of soapmakers has picked up the hobby and even entered the business of soapmaking because they were concerned about a variety of issues, including the use of phosphates, which are linked to algae bloom in rivers and streams. Many people also wanted to use ingredients that had not been tested on animals and did not threaten natural resources. Even using all-natural ingredients can have an environmental impact to consider. For instance, more than half of the recipes in this book are made without palm oil for those who are concerned about the link between palm oil production and the declining ecosystem of orangutans. Orangutans have become the poster child for this issue because nearly 90 percent of their habitat has been destroyed by unsustainable logging in Sumatra and Borneo, placing them on the Endangered Species list. This mass deforestation also affects the habitats of Sumatran tigers, sun bears, clouded leopards, and proboscis monkeys. Making soap with or without palm oil is a personal choice; while it is possible to soap without palm oil, there is often a trade-off for bar hardness and lather. One option is to purchase certified sustainable palm oil to use in your soapmaking (see What Is Sustainable Palm Oil?). Knowing the source of your ingredients allows you to make products exactly the way you want them, and make them in good conscience.

Percebo que a vergonha e a vulnerabilidade no precisam me definir. Nunca achei que sentiria tanta dor na alma como estou sentindo. No sei porque estou sentindo tanta dor por uma pessoa que foi embora, no me quer. Estou pedindo muito a Deus que passe essa dor, pois no sei por onde começar, mas preciso muito de ajuda, a dor e grande e as vezes eu fico com raiva de mim mesma, de ser to idiota. Sei que errei muito, mas ele errou bem mais do que eu, para que eu esteja sentindo essa dor por dentro, essa tristeza. Ja orei, jejuei, mas a dor e grande! Que raiva estou de mim, por ficar assim como estou! Querido leitor, Confisses "A Dor do Divorcio!" Quando o amor se desfaz, no ha palavras para descrever a dor dilacerante que toma conta do coraço. O divorcio no e apenas o fim de um relacionamento, mas o desmoronar de sonhos compartilhados, promessas quebradas e uma realidade que se desfaz diante dos nossos olhos. Lembro-me da sensaço de desespero quando percebi que o casamento que um dia nutri com tanto cuidado estava se desintegrando diante de mim. Cada palavra dita, cada olhar evitado, eram como facas afiadas perfurando minha alma. A sensaço de fracasso era avassaladora. Os dias se arrastavam, e eu me via imersa em um mar de incertezas e angustias. O divorcio no era apenas um processo legal, era uma jornada emocional tortuosa que me obrigava a confrontar minhas proprias fraquezas e limitaçes. Questionava-me incessantemente sobre o que poderia ter feito de diferente, se poderia ter evitado esse desfecho doloroso. A solido se tornou minha companheira constante, um peso insuportavel que parecia esmagar meu peito a cada respiraço. No silencio da noite, as lagrimas rolavam livremente, como uma torrente que no podia ser contida. Cada noite era uma batalha contra os fantasmas do passado e os medos do futuro. Mas, mesmo no meio da escurido, encontrei pequenos lampejos de esperança. Descobri uma força dentro de mim que nem sabia que existia. A dor do divorcio, embora avassaladora, tambem foi um despertar para uma nova fase da minha vida. Aprendi a me reconstruir, a valorizar minha propria vida e a abraçar a ideia de que a felicidade no esta necessariamente ligada a um relacionamento. No nego as cicatrizes que ele deixou, mas tambem reconheço o crescimento e a sabedoria que ganhei atraves dessa experiencia. Sou uma divorciada, sim, mas tambem sou uma sobrevivente. Que este relato possa servir de conforto para aqueles que esto atravessando a mesma tempestade. Saibam que, mesmo nos momentos mais sombrios, ha luz no fim do tunel. E que, no final, somos muito mais fortes do que jamais poderiamos imaginar. Com carinho, UMA MULHER DIVORCIADA!

Adquirir um novo cachorro é uma altura divertida e interessante. Provavelmente foi a um criador ou a uma loja de animais ou talvez tenha visto um anúncio na Internet ou no jornal sobre cachorros e decidiu ir ver. Sem dar por isso, aqueles olhinhos e o pelo fofo do cachorro fizeram o seu coraço derreter e foi para casa com ele ou ela nos braços. Se e como a maioria dos novos donos de animais de estimaço, teve vises de jogar a apanhada com o seu co, de o ver a brincar no lago e de se aconchegar nas noites frias. No entanto, provavelmente no se apercebeu de que os comportamentos com que sonha num co no so naturais. De facto, os comportamentos mais naturais para a maioria dos cachorros incluem pequenas coisas adoraveis como roer os seus sapatos favoritos, ladrar a cada segundo do dia e fazer xixi onde quer que estejam quando lhes apetece. Estes comportamentos podem parecer engraçados no inicio, ou mesmo controlaveis, mas, se no forem controlados, podem levar a um co adulto muito mau. O problema dos cachorros que no so treinados e que crescem e tornam-se ces no treinados. Um co no treinado pode ser um incomodo. Todos aqueles latidos bonitinhos podem rapidamente transformar-se em latidos altos que o mantem a si e aos seus vizinhos acordados durante noites a fio. As pequenas marcas de dentes nos seus sapatos podem transformar-se numa mobilia destruida e numa casa destruida antes que de por isso. Da mesma forma, aqueles cocos de cachorrinho no so to bonitos quando o co pesa 75 quilos e tem os excrementos a condizer. Os ces no treinados tambem podem ser muito perigosos. Todos os ces podem morder. E da sua natureza defenderem-se com tudo o que tem, incluindo os dentes. Tem de ensinar o seu co a no usar os dentes para que ninguem se magoe, pelo menos quando esta a brincar com ele. Embora todos esperemos que o nosso co nos proteja na pior das hipoteses, deve treina-lo para no entrar em confronto. Os ces que representam um perigo para a comunidade correm o risco de serem abatidos.

This book, and our love affair with apples and cider, started in 1998 the year we moved onto our smallholding and watched the dormant centenarian apple trees introduce themselves. First came the pink swelling blossom buds, next the riot of white blossoms resplendent and humming with pollinators, then green leaves offering cool summer shade as the small fruits grew into the apples. We soon identified most of them a Rome variety of some sort, something like a Granny Smith, a Golden Delicious, a Coxs Orange Pippin, a few towering Gravensteins, and one that was grafted to both Gravenstein and Red Delicious. We were overwhelmed by the quantity: boxes and baskets of apples were stacked along the wall in our small kitchen. Apples seemed to tumble every which way as we tried to make them into sauce, dried rings, steamed juice, pies, crisps, and dumplings. By the next year we had a cider press, and a few years later we were captivated by cider. Surrounded by vineyards, we thought we would be the first cider house in our area. As it turned out, sauerkraut got in the way, but that is another story. Eager to learn as much as we could about growing apples for cider, we visited Nick Botner, described both as a hobby orchardist and a serious world-renowned botanical collector, at his farm in Yoncalla, Oregon, 2 hours north of our farm. We arrived, three of our four children in tow, one early November day, nearly 15 years ago. "Come into my farmhouse, well talk," Nick said as he invited the five of us in. His wife, Carla, sat us down to coffee and applesauce. A good cider apple contributes to one or more of four components: color, flavor, body, or bouquet. "What kind of apples do you recommend for hard cider?" Christopher ventured. We were sitting there gazing at him like initiates around a sage, waiting for the meaning of life. Or, at least the meaning of apples. "There are a lot of great apples for cider," Nick said, and we both stared, pen in hand, waiting to scribble down the varieties that wed never heard of, yet hoped to plant. He told us a good cider apple contributes to one or more of four components: color, flavor, body, or bouquet. He didnt drop any variety names though. "Do you have the Redstreak?" Christopher asked hopefully. During the eighteenth century, this apple was believed to be the finest cider apple in England. At the time, cider made from the Redstreak commanded the highest prices. Its popularity had diminished by the end of the century and its believed that viruses may have killed the remaining trees. Now the apple is rare, even thought to be extinct, as breeders are unsure if the claimed Redstreaks are indeed the Redstreaks.

INTRODUCTION Knitting in Circles is the second in a series of books on knitting techniques incorporating geometric shapes. After going "around the block" in my previous book, Knitting Block by Block, it seemed only natural that we explore circles. Over the years, Ive used a variety of circle shapes in my designs and I thought it was finally time to share their many unique and beautiful uses with knitters of all skill levels. In this book Ill teach you different ways to shape, create, and embellish knitted circles, using traditional methods as well as some Ive come up with on my own. As youll see, a few circlesor even just one great big onecan be transformed into fabulous and fashionable knitted sweaters, shawls, afghans, jackets, and more. Every circle in this book can also make an instant pillow, hat, or bag. Youll be astonished at just how many fabulous ways there are to use them! Although knitted circles have been around for some time, there has never been a book like this. Ive created one hundred circles and twenty original designs so you can gain an in-depth understanding of all the fun and creative possibilities a knitted circle can offer. Ive also included detailed design diagrams for every project and exclusive mix-and-match circle pages so you can choose your own look for each piece. Knitting circles is very travel-friendly. I like to bring along individual circles to work on, just so I dont have to carry an entire garment. And because they are small, you can practice techniques that might be new to you, like entrelac, Fair Isle, domino, or reversible cables. Get your circle of friends knitting them, too, and you can quickly make wonderful gifts for loved ones, friends, or those in need. So "circle the wagons," start "thinking in circles," experience the "circle of life," and enjoy knitting "round and round." I loved making this book, and hope it will inspire you and other fellow knitters to think in new, creative ways as you begin Knitting in Circles Happy Circle Knitting!
