Wow, the pumpkin soap looks better than the pumpkin bread. At least it tastes good. lol!

I canned pickled eggs and I have pumpkin bread baking in the oven. Yum. The past two days have been productive.

Water Lily & Mint (NG fo). Goats milk, blue spirulina slurry, and lard in my recipe. I don't really smell the mint, but the lily scent is nice.

Pumpkin Apple Butter Crunch (NG fos'). Goats milk, pumpkin puree, and used lard in my recipe. Nice fall fragrance.

Teakwood & Cardamom (NG fo) soap made with coffee and goats milk for the liquid. I also used lard in my recipe. Smells like a handsome man.

@MellonFriend I didn't think goats had enough fat tissue to render. I am intrigued.

Make sure you get stainless steel piping tips. I think you could get plastic ones as well. Walmart, Amazon, and even dollar general sell them.

Three months ago I had 30 FOs in my cart. I deleted it down to 10 each month. Now I have them on my shelf to use in soap...lol

@QuasiQuadrant I have my eye on Russian piping tips. I want to try piping several colors at one time by layering the soap on plastic wrap and putting it in the piping bag. I also want to make roses where the tips of the rose petal are a different color than the bottom of the petal. I just need a...

@QuasiQuadrant I make a 35 oz oil batch (not including lye solution). When I do a 70 oz oil batch I tend to run into issues. Now if I am just using one color and piping cupcake soaps the larger batch isn't a problem. But if I am doing flowers it takes longer so I half my batch.

And, half my lye liquid is goats milk that I stick blend with my oils.

@QuasiQuadrant I use a basic soap batch of OO, CO, PO, and Castor Oil. Blend and stir until emulsion. Add FO, separate into containers and stir in colorants. Then it becomes either a waiting game or a quick OMG I have to pipe right now, depending on the FO. Usually I keep stirring the batter...

Spooky Treats. Smells like Smarties, Sweet Tarts, Skittles, and Neccos.

Spooky! I finally was able to make my Halloween themed soap today. I canned 14 quarts of chicken today to add to the 10 pints from yesterday. I was bound and determined to make this soap. So I measured everything out while the jars were cooking in the pressure canner. The fo is NG trick or...

Prepping for my next soap. I was planning on making a Halloween themed soap today, but......I ended up canning chicken instead.

Congratulations to @Cindy D. , @CLMP , @ScentimentallyYours , and @Ford . Your soaps are so beautiful and creative. These contests are so much fun to see what we all can create. All the soaps in this contest were wonderful. It was tough to just pick a couple. But this gives me great ideas for...

Well, plastic is petroleum based.

Hot off the hook

Goats Milk soap. I used NG Misbehavin FO. It turned yellow when added but has a nice dark cream color now. I haven't bevelled or steamed the bars yet. I really like the fragrance. I half my liquid using distilled water to dissolve my lye, and the other half room temp goats milk that I stick...
