Oh Ye of Little Faith Paloma.

This made me laugh so much because scented candles MAY be a bit unimaginative but who the hell has time to think of elaborate gift ideas all the time? Not me. Anyway…how lucky are Paloma’s friends - she gives all her scented candles away!

Maybe we could cure her with a dose of Meadowfarm?

I think I’ll send her a diffuser, she never mentioned those…

A Calf is Born ✨
We thought Ruby🐮was due around March 1st, so in early Feb we put her into a dry barn to get ready for the imminent arrival. We wanted to make sure we were organised and were even going to install a camera so we could check on her from the house.BUT. Last Saturday Philip was out filling her water buckets and as he opened the barn gate out she bolted, she was obviously in labour and didn’t want to be confined at that moment. She refused to go back in so we decided we’d have to let her give birth outside. At this point the calf’s feet were already sticking out and we didn’t know how long she had been pushing. We brought plenty of straw out for her to lay on and that’s exactly what she did while all the time having strong contractions. The calf was born about an hour later with a bit of help from Philip. What an incredible experience watching an animal being born! We’ve done it before with 3 puppy litters but it never ceases to amaze me how Mother Nature works. That was the easy part! (for us anyway, not sure Ruby would agree) By this time it was around 4pm, getting dark and it was raining heavily. We knew the baby needed milk and that he needed to be dry, the problem was that Ruby wouldn’t let us anywhere near him because rightly so, she was protective, but also aggressive, so we had to be careful. Long story short, we roped the kids in to help and with some tactical gate manoeuvring and lots of perseverance Philip managed to carry the calf into the barn. 💪🏾 We just assumed Mum would follow and come straight in too but she didn’t. She was stuck to the spot no matter what we did to entice her in, heartbroken that someone had taken away her calf 😭 honestly it was traumatising for her and us, but it was the right thing to do. He wouldn’t have survived a night in the rain and he needed milk that she couldn’t give to him because of how bad the weather was.
Once towel dried, covered in blankets all warm and cosy, we fed the calf colostrum and settled him down for the night - yes Philip did consider sleeping in the barn - I did not. We both had a sleepless night worrying, but the next morning they were reunited …

Pour, Poke, Blow 😮‍💨

If you look at the two candles above one’s completely smooth and the other has a wavy surface. That’s because one is double poured and the other is single pour. I use both techniques depending on the scent / wax / jar size and many other factors.

🕯️ Poking Holes:

I don’t know why this irritates some candle makers, but it does. 😈 It’s a perfectly acceptable and useful way to ensure your candles don’t have any lurking sink holes or air pockets beneath the surface. You feel for the air pockets with a clean wooden stick (you’ll know when you feel one) then fill in the holes with the melted wax. This method is best used on single pour candles. But holes can be poked on half pour too.

🕯️Double Pouring:

Pouring in two stages helps create a flawless finish as it allows the top layer to set evenly and smoothly. Wax shrinks as it cools and doing the second pour can fill any gaps or holes. The second pour always gives a super smooth surface so you won’t need to use a heat gun.

🔥Heat Gun:

This tool helps smooth the tops of the candles, giving them a polished and professional look. A little heat goes a long way. Don’t go blasting a blow torch like it’s a creme brûlée. Make sure it’s a specific low heat wand designed for candle use and use at a sensible distance so you don’t burn off any of the fragrance oils.

There are many variables with candle making and it involves lots of trial and error. The key thing is to burn your testers meticulously for safety reasons.
Wax and wicks especially can be very temperamental, but that’s for another day ….
