    Too Much of a Good Thing!

    I have a cheese drawer in the fridge... and it is usually full. But know I'm wondering why my blocks of cream cheese are not in the drawer? They have their own organizer container of their own!?!?!:oops: :rolleyes:

    Too Much of a Good Thing!

    Can our obsession/collections be hobbies and unfinished projects!?!?!? I have a lot of those! Lots of fabric and vintage linens and pillow case. Tools for all the hobbies I've learned. One of my recent collections include power tools. I'm playing at woodworker! But I can admit that I collect...

    Must have fragrances from Nurture Soaps?

    Nurture Soap is my favorite vendor! I love their FO and micas & @SoapDaddy70 is correct, you can’t go wrong with them! My favorites list is long… but my top five that I own right now are: 1. Earth Meets Sky-spicy patchouli blend that behaves perfectly in cold process soap. 2.Persephone’s Kiss 3...

    NEEEEMMMM....

    I was waiting for your post of your NEEM experience! Awesome! It is definitely not a smell I can tolerate. I tried real hard to give the bars a fair shake after cure and forced myself to test 2 bars...I made it through 1 bar, made me gag every time I soaped up, plus I was paranoid I could still...

    Trial by Fire red mica line?

    How fine do you think you could get soap if you used a coffee grinder? Would it just clump up? Do it in stages of grating to dry it out? Maybe make the colored soap with less water? Cool idea though!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Cleaned up and stamped soap. Reorganized curing rack and gathered end pieces and scraps and ugly soap to take to work. Freed up 2 shelves for more soap…. 😬😳🤪 I’m now stressing though… the group I usually give my soap to wasn’t at the hotel tonight and a lady I’ve dealt with before with a...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    This weekend I made more shampoo, conditioner, & lotion. Had to re-stock my bathrooms! Then decided to make some soap. I’ve been working so hard lately to make sure I keep my batter fluid…that the one batch that I wanted to try out my scrapper tools on my, batter takes forever to trace. I...

    SMF October 2021 challenge - butterfly hanger swirl

    That’s what I tell my daughter when I give her the lotion she has asked for… then I get the superior “you’re weird “ look and go on about my day. I love my pre-teens, such entertainment!

    SMF October 2021 challenge - butterfly hanger swirl

    Actually.... The more I look at it, I'm reminded of the moth in the Silence of the Lambs movie. I do love the movie... but now this soap is creeping me out slightly. lol!

    SMF October 2021 challenge - butterfly hanger swirl

    Look at this BS! Lol! This was my second attempt to use up some discolored lye solution. I actually can’t wait to use it with the Shea & cocoa butter. I think it’s my favorite but it keeps getting darker! I do love dark natural colors. But the family voted and picked my entry & this did not...

    It reminded me of one of my first challenges… https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/smf-march-2021-soap-challenge-air-blow-technique-aka-dutch-pour-technique-aka-wind-blow-technique.83156/page-8 The Dutch Pour Challenge was not a success for me… but it did make a beautiful soap!

    SMF October 2021 challenge - butterfly hanger swirl

    I tried one more time just because I had a lye solution that I added something to that turned it brown and didn’t want to use it with my first attempt. I ran out of lard, so I messed with the recipe to add HO Sunflower, and Cocoa & Shea Butter. Had fun playing around with the calculator to get...

    Bar thickness for ts mold

    I’ve been cutting all my soaps at 1.25” lately. It makes my T&S bars humongous though. At end of 4 week cure they are about 7oz. If I sold my soap I’d probably think about going back to 1”. I just like they way they feel in my hand at 1.25”. But I also made my T&S mold and I think it’s...

    Got tips for my first kiss pour?

    Have you watched all The Soap Challenge Club videos from when they did it that month? There are a lot of them, more than normal it seems! Lol! That one intimidated me for sure & I’ve never tried it, so no help here. Good luck though, it’s soooo pretty!

    SMF October 2021 challenge - butterfly hanger swirl

    Well, it’s definitely harder to hanger swirl a “mapped” swirl, than just the Willy-nilly hanger swirl I’ve done before! I panicked a few times because I went off course! And pouring drop swirls in designated areas is also harder that I thought! Lol… I knew I should have not used my tall & skinny...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    They had their big 101oz? CO oil for $12 instead of $13 last time I was in there! So I saw this in a TikTok and had to wonder if it would help with my soap shrink wrapping skills. I’d have both hands to work with… in a plastic magazine holder. I’d probably drill some vent hold in the...
