    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    I unmolded mine. Mine discolored right in the pitcher, too, thank goodness, because I had only one shot. It seems to be trucking right along. I will leave it out of the mold overnight and cut it in the morning. It's been slightly less than 24 hours since I put it to bed. It's hardening up nicely...

    A Good Loaf Decoration Soap Recipe

    Yes, I have liquid colors too! And some color blocks. The liquid colors I have in my cabinet are bleeders so I have an ombre planned for sometime in the future. The best thing to do always as our wise NA says is just takes your notes. I use a paper notebook then copy over into OneNote. You can...

    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    Sonya the swirl is gorgeous! The discolor against the bit of white will really make it pop.

    A Good Loaf Decoration Soap Recipe

    I wouldn't diss all micas because one didn't work the way you wanted it to. It's possible you may have not used enough, or too much, or a pigment or oxide would have done a better job. Personally, I love micas, pigments and oxides. They are my go-to's for colorants, but I use all of them, and...

    My son; showing off

    I am on grandbabies as well. Number 3 is on his way. Enjoy them at this age, as they grow soooo fast. I do not feel like I should be Me'Mere yet, but they sure aren't waiting for my brain to catch up!

    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    Thank you Viv! LOL that soap does not have warts! You give me the giggles. If it did it would be okay because Halloween is coming up, plus it does have the Halloween candy look. I think the 'background' discoloring FO looks kind of dark and stormy and actually pretty darn cool.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    That's probably something I should do, since I can't remember doing it. I'm horrible. I made my September challenge soap today, fed the cats, ate some cereal, ate some more cereal, and read a book. I thought about cleaning the bathroom and then decided that mess could all wait until tomorrow...

    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    I finally got my soap made, and I was happy enough with it, so far. We will see if that stays true after the cut. Since I had melt & pour decorations and I wanted to CPOP it, I had to CPOP half of it, then pipe the top and then put in the embeds. That's okay though, because the matte white and...

    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    Got tomorrow off work, had to go to the doctor unexpectedly today instead of next week but that is okay. Got that mess out of the way. I am waifing out at 115 pounds right now! So tomorrow I should be able to make this soap! I have all of my little extra tidbits for it carved up and fixed. Yay!

    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    I am not particularly happy about my cobbled together top decorations, either. My soapy idea is going to be a huge pain in the butt. Leave it to me to think of something I have to do in stages. The outcome soap will actually look really simple, too. However, I made M&P decorative thingies...

    Question about using squeeze bottles

    Ugh. I love this. Wish I would have thought of it before I bought 16 squeeze bottles. (I am one of those people that has to have 4x too many of every craft supply And because hey, ya just never know....)

    Closest FO to Cool Water for men?

    Disclaimer: Not much help here, since I have never smelled the real Cool Water. Nature's Garden does sell a Cool Water Type FO, and it smells really good out of bottle. I have not soaped my sample, yet, though.

    DIY car air fresheners

    I have a high school friend who is now a OTR truck driver. He scents the truck with two bars of my soap, and will come and pick up a couple of new bars for himself and his wife whenever they get a chance to drive through hometown. He picked up his 'air freshener bars in March of this year and so...

    Rescue snake update

    He is beautiful! It's been about 22 years since I last had a ball. Looks like you are a wonderful Moms for him and he has such a neat name. He is making me want one. Sigh. We have a big enough menagerie though. Thank you so, so so much for rescuing this sweet baby.

    I got part of mine made. The 'kids' are misbehaving though and making soap curls a near impossiblity.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I am trying to cut some soap curls off a small melt and pour bar I made. Although the babies are acting like they haven't had any love in 5 years. Every time I set the peeler on to the soap, Frodo head butts my hand and purrs. Liberty insists on peeking by putting her sweet little polydactyl...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Can't help with the sugar in the lye. I haven't got that far yet. I do really really good to remember to spray with the rubbing alcohol when needed (EOTH). That being said, you should be okay if your line was pretty thin. Or hopefully! When I did my last (first) mica line my batter was a...

    Thread titles and my very strange mind.

    You guys make me feel better about the way my mind wanders. Not_ally just made me think of a sunflower in a miniskirt wagging it's head back and forth though, with a very upset expression on its face. And I see a tye-dyed clipboard with review forms on it from commoncenz. Admit it, we are...
