    TS mold from NS

    Thank you so much for this thread, I had ordered the same moulds some time ago and mine finally arrived. I too am apprehensive at the thickness of the silicone. Thank you Dibbles, I’ll be sure to use your kind advice. @CarlyB, I hope it turns out well. Please post your pics.

    Ode to Castor oil

    Yes the laxative section!!! Brings back horrible memories of holidays when my mother lined us kids up on the first day of the hols and forced us to swallow this vile stuff.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I cut some soap yesterday, I tried some new fragrances and what's amazed that they behaved so well I made (amongst others) a Cedar and Saffron soap and a Rose Vanilla soap. The cedar bar actually has more of a cinnamon scent to it. I wanted to try something different from the usual soap...
