    Finally got back to soaping

    I was so excited last November to make my first lard soap and couldn't wait to make more. Well life gets busy as we all know, my mom is on home hospice in my house. Some days are better than others. I made the decision to try vendor events in my area and have two under my belt with 4 more over...

    Who made it? Whittany who?

    Hope you're healing well, do take it easy. I was very young when I had my hysterectomy and I felt great two weeks out. Needless to say I made it half way through a store and was trying to figure out how I would get back to my car, I was in so much pain. Thank God I ran into a family friend who...

    Need help please, something just not clicking in my brain.

    I understand the difference between weight and volume. I do also know that air isn't measurable and these are hand crafted items. I think we are saying the same thing in two different ways, thanks again for all your help.

    Need help please, something just not clicking in my brain.

    I understand this which is why adding more air to this batch should have given me an even greater number of jars. Standard batch = 6/4oz jars double batch if equal air should be 12/4 oz jars, this batch of additional air(volume) is only 8/3+oz jars. If this batch has more air than the overall...

    Need help please, something just not clicking in my brain.

    no I'm just about even. I have 25.5 in 8 jars of 3oz+ a little bit and about 1.5oz left over that I put in small sample jars. That's what's confusing, if it deflated, never had that happen, I would imagine it would be about the same before and after but the fact that its so full and whipped that...

    that's what I thought also but then why is my overall batch weight the same for a doubled recipe?

    I finally started producing again and feel very comfortable making body butter and foaming sugar scrubs without much issue. I made a batch of anhydrous whipped body butter yesterday and it was just perfect. 3 ingredients(13oz) plus EO makes 6-4 oz jars. I have a few orders for a different...

    Donating Soap

    There really is no pleasing everyone. I feel in this day and age of social media and everyone feeling like they can say whatever they want whenever they want they can feel free to purchase said soap from you at full price and then donate it so it would be first quality in their eyes. Such BS...

    AM I overthinking this or is there an actual design/pattern for this look?

    Thanks everyone, hoping to give it a try in the near future. I love the clean simple look of it in lovely muted colors. 🥰

    AM I overthinking this or is there an actual design/pattern for this look?

    I know it appears to be a simple color block but its more angled than simply propping the mold. is there a specific name for this design or am I just overtired at this point?

    Fall is here (in the US) - favorite soup recipes? Here’s mine…..

    its my favorite time of the year and as my husband reminded me today its time for Irish Vegetable soup. Here in the states most veg soup is in a broth but I LOVE the way its made back in Ireland with delicious veg cooked and pureed with a bit of the cooking broth added back depending on how...

    Finally ready to make my lard soap, hopefully!

    OK here it is!! I'm pretty happy with the outcome and can't wait to try it out, looks and feels amazing. I was planning on adding a fluffy lavender colored layer on top but while my brain was working it out in motion my hands went into auto pilot for an ITPS. I had a good trace going for my...

    Finally ready to make my lard soap, hopefully!

    no not waiting for trace, I just forgot to pull it from the shelves. I forced myself to make time but I was still somewhat distracted and my youngest kept trying to talk to me through the door.
