I made my version of African Black Soap using a African Black powder from Amazon. I've seen other soapers use it on YouTube so I decided to try it. First use, the bar was kinda of scratchy but every use after that has been wonderfully lumpy, bumpy & scrubby. I'm really liking it but because the...

Today I really didn't do anything. The most I did was nap, wash dishes & cook dinner.

Thanks! That is a nice soap. Great carving job.

@szaza, I can't see your pic on the entry thread (see my screenshot). Can you post it here?

Soap [emoji1]

Good news: I finally made the 3 Wise Men soap that I was supposed to make 3 weeks ago. I also made the 72% Olive Oil soap that I'd been wanting to make and I got to use the new stamp that I bought for it. And a second family friend had expressed an interest in buying my soaps for Christmas...

I missed the challenge.... Again [emoji19]. I always have high hopes of participating and then life happens. I made my bar, picked a few bars to practice on, picked my pic to use as a template, went to the library to print it out and then life happened lol. I still plan to try the carving...

At the gym with the hubby. I'm not working out lol I'm just here to crack the whip and make him train harder.

I got to unmold 2 soaps. I cut 3 Wise Men & I got to use my new stamp on my 72% Olive oil soaps. It's 72% & a pic of an olive.

I've been craving a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup for a week now. So after work today, I went to the grocery store and bought the ingredients to make tomato soup from scratch (canned soup has flour or cornstarch). Homemade tomato soup is different but I'm liking it. And I got my...

I have that pic saved to my phone as inspiration.

That's a nice drawer. I think I've still got the same brown loaf mold that you have in picture #5. We had 2 basement floods and then we moved so I'm not sure now. It was the very first mold I bought.

I've been thinking about it and my Ken supports me. I wish that co-worker would leave. I've had to restart my life 3 times in the last 15 years for various reasons, I don't want to have to start over with a new job. And now 1 of my good friends may be coming to work there too. I keep hoping that...

I have a co-worker that irritates my soul! He was out yesterday because he cut his leg with a chainsaw last week and stitched himself up with household needle & thread and that caused him to develop a cellulitis infection. Yesterday was peaceful but I went home ill. Today he's back and annoying...

Fleeting

I came home from work at lunchtime because I was ill (there's a virus going thru the shop). I was in bed and sleep probably 15 min after I got home. My hubby kept waking me to ask me dumb stuff like "are you sleeping?". Then he woke me to tell me that I had a fever. Umm, yeah Sherlock! I'm sick...

I'm having the same problem today with the temp of my workplace. It's Monday so the curing ovens will be off until tonight. It's freezing out here in the shop so I shut off the ceiling exhaust fan closest to me. I was so cold that my body ached. It took about 45 min but I finally started to warm...

I was on Pinterest when I saw this. mind blown lol.

My grandpa always said "one man's junk is another man's treasure!" That's how Ken and I furnished our first apartment together. I especially love when I find soaping supplies! Will you post a pic of your 12-bar mold? I'm curious to see what you found!
