Actually it's @AliOop who deserves the credit here ;)

I think we need this thread...

The only thing I really want to look at when I'm soaping is the recipe... I'm not sure which SDK you're using for your watch faces and how versatile it is; if you could send the recipe via Bluetooth and display all the ingredients in a list that could be checked off so they disappear as you go...

Or even more simply; on my system at least I can just take the screenshot (print screen of screen clipping tool) and paste right into the message where I want the picture. Curious to test if it works on my phone also now... Haha nope!

A soap-related happy. I visited my mum and family and was 'chuffed' to see they've been using my soaps - this was an unexpected and unstaged visit to the upstairs bathroom:

Did you rename the recipe? The first thing I would check is if you've included an unusual character, or started or ended with a space.

Sourdough starter 🤣

The only thing I can think is that these ingredients are to be added to an existing base of some kind, but without knowing what the base is, there's not much can be done with just those. Plus, as DeeAnna says, there's the question of the vitamins 🤔

I wouldn't expect most of those to hold their colour in soap, sadly. Once they get in contact with lye they would probably go brown, lose their colour entirely, or who knows what else... Using plants to colour soap requires very specific plants prepared in the right way - if you do some...

Omg I was shocked when I read this! 😲 ... Until I realised it stands for butterfly swirl ;)

Faffing around - doing bits of things, annoying and/or fiddly work and not making progress, probably in a way not even likely to make progress. Chuffed - pleased, content, maybe with a small side order of smug. (Now to see if the linked definitions are close to mine 🤣 )

Voted 'wow' for the right ;) I really like them both but something in my brain is insisting that the "grass" goes at the bottom 🤣

They look very traditional and xmassy to me - I was thinking of that as a dark red until I read you said brown. Definitely nice classic colours in any case; if it was me I'd keep the design simple and elegant to go with them.

One thing I like to do is knitting; I used to have a badge that said "knitting is not my hobby, it's my post apocalyptic skillset". At the very least, we'll all be clean if the zombies attack...

The Havana one sounds like it smells awesome! I tend to choose a colour scheme first and then pick a scent to match, but I can respect the inverse process.

Well, I got a negative result today but I'm a bit skeptical! I may need to take another test later on, they said it may take longer for it to show up.

I like to grate it and then pass it through a sieve to break up the clumps that form when grating fresh soap.

Well, I got my brain poked at, should get the results tomorrow. I think I might have some of that altered sense of smell going on though. I sat down and was wondering what the weird smell of rotten fruit was. Then I realized it was the glass of wine in my hand 😭

Yikes, hope Mrs Zing feels better soon! I'm going for a test tomorrow myself, wish me luck... Met some colleagues in person for the first time ever last week, and although we are all fully vaccinated, unfortunately one of us has since tested positive, and I'm now a close contact :-/ I'm not...

Ooh I'll have to think about this one! I was kind of bummed out by not getting an entry together last month, but October is both my birthday and soap-iversary so I really would like to make an effort to do something special!
