Thank you. This is the tread I was searching for.

I know this was post last May, but I went to the website and can't find a place to email Yvonne. I'd like to order the acrylic soap beveller. Could you post the address?

Sorry, looks like I replied to a post instead of starting a new topic. Yes, I'm sure I did the previous one the same. I'm one of those people who measure twice, cut once. I gather everything I need and verify that I have it. I put all the ingredients in separate containers and then followed the...

I have a question that is probably too broad, but I don't know how to pair it down. It's about fragrances in cold processed soap. I searched the forum before I posed this question, but did not find an answer. I know soap has a natural scent. When I walk by my soaps they smell wonderful, but they...

I made some lotion bars this week. I did a batch with sweet almond oil and a second batch with coconut oil. Both are fabulous, glide on the skin, non-greasy, and I love them. Last year I made the exact same recipe (from the Soap queen) using the exact same bottle of sweet almond oil, the same...

Could I have her as a friend too? Happy Birthday!

Welcome Dawn. I don't have sensitive skin, but I love the art of the bars. Even if I can't do it, I love the friendliness here and the information. Still consider myself a novice.

Yes. it is. I would make this recipe again, using something other than the pumpkin spice as a fragrance.

I don't put things on Youtube, but I use lard a lot. I like it. My soap cures a long time because I do not sell it. I find my best soap is the Pumpkin Spice one I made two years ago. It has large as the major oil, lathers quickly, is very hard, and holds its fragrance. I'm not thrilled with the...

Hi, I haven't done much in the past year. While I never got the Corona virus (took the vaccine), the lockdown and news took all my energy and concentration. I did make some Christmas decorations last January. I painted them this month and I'm ready to display them for the holiday.

Yes, you set the table as if for a magazine photo. There are themes for holidays or just something simple. We just did St. Patrick's Day and Easter. There's Spring, Graduation, etc. I'm working on the theme of a Girl's Night In party with desserts. If the food was real, it would never be ready...

I do tablescapes and I'm working on one that is full of desserts. All the food here is faux. Next, I'm working on ice cream cones.

Thanks. I read the board everyday, but have had low energy for doing anything. I made the lotion bars because I was out and the liquid lotion I use fads in a flash.

I've made lotion bars from the soap queen's recipe three times now. I love the feel of it on my skin. Mostly my skin is normal, but there are patches on the dry side and the lotion bars make it feel smooth instead of rough and I don't itch there like I used to.

Thank you for the comments. I read them before I started the soap project. I didn't SB too long because the moment I added the lye-water, it started to trace. This was the recipe. I got it from Anne Marie and I added the lye-water to the oils at 110 degrees.

I didn't do a zap test, but I will. I thought that was for HP soap. I do CP. It didn't burn my skin when I used it.

The tried the failed soap I made back in March. It lathers better than any of the other soaps I've made. I don't know what happened to make it accelerate so fast. It has white speckles in it. I'm not sure if that is unused lye. Anyway, I plan to rebatch it.

Thank you.

Under the heading of There are no Stupid Questions: How do you do more than one batch of soap in a single session? Do you finish one, clean the equipment and do a second, then repeat for a third, etc.? Newbie here, never considered doing more than one per day/night.

Ditto. Soapmaking is fun and I believe you can do what you want to do not what others think you can.
