Actually, real dirt! We didn't have any problems until about 2 weeks ago when I noticed a few fungus gnats that must have been in the topsoil, tossed some diatomaceous earth on top 3 days in a row and they are gone...I hate bugs! I got a little heavy-handed with the water around my carrots! I am...

Didn't do too much soapy stuff except look at micas and try and reduce the ones I want, (which are all of them!) BUT I did pull this out of our basement garden: It is the first one of the winter season, 12" from stem to stern. My son didn't think they would grow, hah! I made 5 jars of pesto last...

I love the colors and swirls in these soaps, the dragonflies don't hurt either!

Where are you moving to in WI? I live outside of Milwaukee, the reason I am asking it is harder than hen's teeth to find housing in this area and Madison isn't much better. Hopefully, you have already bought a place! If you need any help please let me know. I would just take the soap out and...

Thanks, Phoenix. I always do test batches with new products as when I make soaps to sell I want to know what to expect. It takes longer but then I always have soap here at the house and giveaways to friends who don't care what the soap looks like if it turns out to be a dud! Isn't their...

Thanks, Angie, that helps a lot. I never used to color my soaps like they do now and usually used more clays, than micas. It's a totally different experience but I am looking forward to doing it once again. Now just to be able to get the milk from the girls instead of the dairy dept! At least...

I won't buy any ingredients that go into my soaps from Amazon, big box, and rarely from Etsy unless I can't find it anywhere else. I found a reasonably priced Woad from a guy in Italy but also had several conversations with him before I bought it.

The couple of jars I have of micas don't have weights on them, any idea how many teaspoons/tablespoons are in an ounce. I was thinking I would need 4 oz. of everything and was feeling I would be in the poorhouse in a matter of days if I kept buying as I have been LOL!

Thanks for showing the cut, really love that color! Tops look quite wonderful! I need to buy a bunch of Micas and am wondering do you folks buy your micas from one source or from different places? I really don't know where to start. Am I correct in assuming all micas are not equal?

Absolutely beautiful!! How did you do the swirl in the middle, I need to learn how to do that! Perfect, the wine soap looks good enough to eat!

Does anyone in the States use the GW415 Hydrogenated soy flakes or something like it? Sounds interesting. I have to admit everything sounds interesting to me about now! Did get my mold made today, I don't think I have enough mica's to do my four colors though! I am so dumb, I forgot that I need...

I am so glad you posted your soap, I was wondering what Mango Tango would look like, I love, love that color! Please show us the cut, I am probably as excited as you are! WOW, how cold is your garage? Mine is -13F at present! I hate winter...always have, always will!

linne, where have you purchased your woad? I have found a place in Italy but would rather purchase from the US if possible.

Thank you for posting the numbers where I could see your soaps! I just put out a post as I have not seen any of the pictures folks put out there to show what they are doing. I looked in the picture places and couldn't find anything connected with the Taiwan Swirls everyone is getting ready to...

These look so cool. I keep forgetting to order mine. I need to do it NOW, otherwise, it will be another week before I remember...the fate of getting old!

I am putting in an order from Lotioncrafter probably tonight or tomorrow for Sea Clay from them. It is 10.95/lb. and if you want to split a pound with me after looking at the description I would be fine with that. When I started soaping many years ago they were one of the first places I bought...

So pretty and relaxing as the music you described!

Your soaps are absolutely stunning!

Terri, Would you mind sharing where you got your fish mold, I would love to purchase one. Thanks
