So WHO in their right mind would enter their very first SMF challenge just because they couldn’t resist adding a PUN??? ME, that’s who. Sigh. I really didn’t have time to make another soap. Let alone a “one and done” with a new-to-me recipe and a new-to-me technique. But I did it! And because I...

Sounds like a great trip! And how nice to get to spend a bit of time with your granddaughter.

Beautiful! I spent a very happy 7 months in New Zealand, many many moons ago. Such a wonderful country with amazing people. Hoping to get down under soon, to show my husband a wee bit of your paradise 😁. Thanks for sharing your photos!

Sign up list: 1. Mobjack - There’s a tree soap I have wanted to make since the moment I saw it. I hope I can pull it off! 2. AliOop - An idea is taking root (pun intended). :) 3. Marsi - branching out 🍃 4.VickiC - yes! 🌳 5. The_Emerald_Chicken - I wood not want to miss out on this challenge 🪵 6...

I need to start carrying a bar or two of soap on planes in case I make a friend!

I didn’t know cranberry champagne jelly was a thing! I want some!!! 😁

@Zany_in_CO I was going in a different direction with my recipe, but think I will follow your advice and up the percentage of goose fat! I have about 10 litres of it so what the heck… Thanks for the recipe!

I just came onto the site to look for references to goose fat; my sweetie just came back from hunting geese, and he brought a bunch of goose fat for me to use in soap! That dear man even rendered the fat for me 🥰🥰. Most of the geese (snows and a few Canadas) had a LOT of fat after a summer of...

@Nona'sFarm Nice! It’s good to be able to support local AND get an excellent product.

@KiwiMoose thank you!

Thanks so much for solving this puzzle for me! That’s hilarious 🤣 (and to my chagrin, I fit right in…)

What blends well with ylang ylang? (asked the woman who just bought a bottle…)

@AliOop “SABLE”? (I’ve had my morning coffee and still can’t work out the acronym)

I love lard in soap. But I have a problem with the way the majority of pigs in North America are bred and raised, in those huge barns with no space to move and no opportunity to ever go outside. So I rarely eat pork unless it’s from a small farm operation with pigs who live a good life with “one...

I hear the same ”too pretty” comment - but as I DO keep some of my soap in my socks and undies drawer, i just suggest to my friends that storing with clothing is a perfectly good spot until it’s needed in the sink or tub 😁. Storing in the wardrobe keeps it dry and dust-free!

But on the plus side, you can hide your own Easter eggs! 😆

I love the way I keep learning from you folks. Thank you!

Thanks so much! I have just been reading that page (how I LOVE @DeeAnna ) and I went to the thread she mentioned on making your own sodium citrate which I found highly entertaining. Now I know what to do to thoroughly clean a pot! Sodium citrate from baking soda and citric acid I am too cheap to...

@AliOop thanks for letting me know, I am not familiar with sodium citrate. Will have to look that up. (And maybe figure out what to do with almost a pound of citric acid powder…)
