Haha when I read “Australia” and “daggy” in the same post I don’t think soap - except maybe that I’d want to use some soon. I spent 7 months in New Zealand back in the day, and one of my more “interesting” experiences was a couple days spent dagging sheep!

There’s something about a bar of soap that is a leeeetle bit soft, that inspires kids to see just how squishy it can get! Add water and add fun! I’m happy you may have found a solution with the longer cure. Thanks to Deanna and her wonderful Soapy Stuff articles, I learned early in my...

I have found my tribe! 🤣 @katili I am in sticker shock land this week as well. Just went on to NDA site to order some of my faves which I’m close to running out of - and can’t bring myself to push the button on making the purchase. I’m just a hobby soaper and I give away a LOT of soap as I’m...

@Anstarx thanks for sharing your adoption story with us! He’s a lucky boy - and you are lucky too, I think, to have such a sweet new companion. I bet you won’t need to use your alarm clocks so much any more; Potato will be getting you up for meals and walks!

@Mobjack Bay my apologies - I missed out on making the soap as I needed to head out of town for 8 days - and didn’t see that I had a message while I was away. I should have withdrawn myself!

I'm sure I’m speaking for many when I say we need pics of your mandala rocks, @KiwiMoose!!

Such beautiful soaps! Such talent! I’m sorry I didn’t get a soap made for the challenge - have spent the last 8 days away touching base with our collective elderly parents and we are not back home yet. Sooo, another month of “best laid plans”.

@Zing well, I looked up adding a frame to a photo but I’m technically challenged. And TBH, not motivated enough to learn! But here’s the (kind of unfocused) photo I posted, once I had cleaned up the bars a bit. Because I am nothing if not impatient I did try washing my hands with the end scrap...

@Vicki C “chuffed” is one of those words that just feels good to say. I learned it decades ago, when living in New Zealand - and brought it home to 🇨🇦 😁

@Lanie yes, mistakes are a great opportunity for learning! It will be interesting to see how we like the extremely superfatted batch. We are just coming out of a prolonged severe cold “snap” (I think when it gets colder than -40 it should be called a cold “punch to the face!”🤣🥶 because the air...

Wait, what?

I grow a big pot of sage, rosemary, & thyme every summer and place a pot of parsley right beside it. Call it my S&G corner

SO FRIGGIN CUTE!!! @Misschief hmm - Winnipeg? Or Okanagan? I’d definitely choose the latter. Good move (literally)!

Double up

Hungry

Sigh. I jumped onto SMF for a couple minutes, an hour ago. Went down a few rabbit hole threads and then found this one, now I’m hungry but it’s way too late for a snack! Butter chicken, YUM! I made a bunch of turkey shepherds pie casseroles from our new years turkey dinner leftovers (we had...

Granola

@Feelin' Soapy over here in Alberta we have had a run of REALLY cold weather. Minus 40 is the point where the temperatures are the same in Fahrenheit and Celsius, and we’ve been there -and colder! - for several days! @Misschief has had it relatively easy 😂😂 but minus 20C is no fun either...

Haha, OK @Misschief - just for you we will hang on to the Arctic air for another day. Rumour has it that we are going to get into the minus TEENS by Wednesday, be still my heart!
