I didn't go out to Pagan Pride Day here in Nanaimo today. When I was looking over the schedule of things on the two different stages, only one really made me want to attend it ... and I didn't have any money to spend at vendors, which would just be depressing wandering around and not being able to buy anything ... and I was afraid that it would be a really busy event and I'd have issues being able to park, if I didn't take the bus (not looking forward to that on weekend schedules, and likely having to purchase two fares to get there and two to get back).
So, I did go out to Michaels and price out different types/amounts of wax, the wicking they have (spools), and the candle moulds they've got. I do have a taper candle mould, but I've never used it, it's plastic so it could end up being sort of flimsy to use over and over again, it needs to have a hole cut in it to pour the wax in and needs to use either a two-sided mould holder or a bucket of sand ... so I think I'm going to be getting one of the pillar candle moulds from Michaels. That's of course once I can afford it!
My friend is going to be making her candles with lard in large seashells, so we're seeing if Maxx would be up for taking us to Rathtrevor Beach next weekend, so we could look for some large clam shells. As I said to her, it's worth having not just what you need, but lots extra on-hand, so if necessary she can barter them to other folks for goods/services.
Hoping Maxx won't be asleep for too much longer this afternoon, but he did get to sleep really late after his graveyard shift, and has been up multiple times this morning/afternoon ... hoping he's up at a time when we can have dinner together and then get all four dogs out for a walk along the waterfront in the moonlight. We had them out this morning when he got home, but just down to 7-11 and back (had to check the lotto ticket ... $50 million won by someone in BC but as usual it WASN'T ME!)
