You guys, I’ve been ice dyeing stuff again. #sendhelp . . . . #tiedye #icedye #tiedyelove #ice #prociondye #icecubes #pretty #icedyeing #closeup
Card making hasn’t been my strong suit lately but I did make a simple little card for a brand new baby boy recently. Felt good to make a card for the first time in a long while! . . . . #cardmaking #papercrafts #watercolor #newbaby #babycard #handmadecards #neatandtangled
Hello third trimester! My little one is now papaya-sized (or eggplant-sized or cauliflower-sized depending on which app I look at 😅)! . . In the past few weeks I’ve started to experience more back pain, lots of leg cramps, worsening restless legs, shortness of breath and a very noticeable lack of mobility (+ the list goes on...). But, all of those less-than-desirable symptoms pale in comparison to the sense of excitement and joy I feel at the thought of getting to meet this boy or girl in 3 more months! . . I’m amazed at what my body can do! . . ...And maternity leggings are my favorite. 🐋 🐋 . . . #28weeks #28weekspregnant #thirdtrimester #babyonboard #mamatobe #firsttimemom #pregnancy #mombod #babybump #letterboard #knotknotoutfitters #wordswithmeans #12weekstogo #bumpie #preggo
Celebrating #indigenouspeoplesday by (finally) lacing up my moccasins. At some point I’ll add beading to the cuffs. #wearestillhere #nipmucnation #moccasins
A tutorial on how I ice-dyed these onesies just went up at freshwater-studio.com! Considering I haven’t posted a thing to my blog in months, I’m feeling pretty accomplished this week! Link in my bio. . . . . #diy #diyproject #icedye #icedyeing #onesies #tiedye #tiedyeonesies #blue #tiedyelove #nesting #mamatobe #freshwaterstudio #cute #happyfriday #friyay #tiedyed #handdyed #artsandcrafts #makersgonnamake
Here are the results of my ice dying experiment on a formerly all white pregnancy pillowcase and two white onesies! My first attempt with indigo powder was a total failure, but I got some proper cold water dye and that did the trick. Maybe I’ll resurrect my poor neglected blog and share a post about how I did it if anyone is interested. It was so easy! In the meantime I’ll be over here ice dyeing all the things...🤗 Edit: blue onesies are just blue onesies! Not a hint as to whether I’m having a boy, I still don’t know! 🙊 . . . #icedye #icedyed #onesies #mamatobe #pregnancyprojects #tiedye #diy #blue #pregnancypillow #tiedyeonesies #teamgreen #girlslikebluetoo #makersgonnamake #artsandcrafts #tiedyelove

I whipped up some turmeric ginger citrus salt bars the other day and couldn’t get over how beautiful the color of the batter turned out! 😍 Now it’s time to wait to see if the color changes as it cures... #soapmagic . . . . #freshwaterstudiosoap #soapmaker #soapmaking #turmericsoap #turmeric #orange #soapshare #coldprocesssoap #cpsoap #soap #fallsoap #palmfreesoap #saltbars #boomarang #handmadesoap #naturalsoap
Let’s do a little Friday Introduction! I realize a lot of you are new here and I should say hello and introduce myself (with a selfie, of course). 👋🏽 I’m Kim, the chief maker over here at Freshwater Studio! Here are a few facts about me: 1. I started Freshwater Studio not only as a way to express my creativity and love of art and making, but also as a way for me to explore and feel more connected to my Native American heritage. The journey has been so rewarding already.”, and you can read more about that in the about section of my Etsy shop. 2. When I’m not making soap or working on other projects, I work as a reference librarian. Despite what you may think, it’s not a boring job in the least! 3. I’m a sucker for ice cream. Black raspberry is my favorite flavor. 4. I also have a card making and paper crafting hobby, but I share most of that work on my personal Instagram page @heykimtoney. I would have a ton of hobbies if I had the time! 5. Im growing a little baby in my belly who is due to arrive on January 1, 2019! I’m so looking forward to welcoming a little girl or boy into my life in a few short months! 🤰🏽 . Now, I’d love to hear more about YOU, so tell me a little about yourself in the comments! And thanks for being here, your support means more than you know! 💛 #soapmaker #fridayintroductions #makersgonnamake #etsyseller #gettoknowme #selfie #etsyshop #freshwaterstudiosoap
I’ve just listed a few bars of Buttermilk Baby soap in the shop! These are all-natural, unscented, gentle and skin-nourishing soaps made with 100% pure olive oil, creamy buttermilk and a calendula and chamomile infusion (for their skin calming and soothing properties). These bars are perfect for anyone with sensitive skin and especially for the little ones in our lives! . . . . #freshwaterstudiosoap #limitedingredients #naturalsoap #babysoap #castilesoap #bastillesoap #coldprocesssoap #handmadesoap #soapshare #cpsoap #sensitiveskin #sensitiveskincare #buttermilksoap
