Gorgeous soap! :) I love the color.

Those labels and the soaps look very nice. I decided to do the same for the soaps I'm gifting to family this year for Christmas. I even thought up a name--although I probably won't ever sell professionally, I thought it was a cute added touch. Dh is making up labels for me to wrap my soaps in...

It was premixed. It smells really good. I'm sorry but I can't remember which company made it. My husband bought it along with some others on a quest for less feminine scents earlier this year. ;)

Beautiful soap. I love the dark greens and purples. So pretty :) Pretty color and I bet they smell fantastic! :) I made spearmint eucalyptus scented soap for dh this weekend. I added powdered goat's milk and am excitedly awaiting the cure to be over so I can see if it has added more...

Welcome Kate! I live just outside of Louisville (12 years) and have been making soap now for 2 years. I was very scared and intimidated the first time I soaped, in fact I was sweating so badly from fear of the lye that I fogged up my eye protection and couldn't see. I also showered...

Thank you :)

This one is perfect. :sigh: When can I move in ? :) It looks so peaceful and rustic.

Gorgeous. :)

Thanks so much :) Oooo, patchwork soap, is that a possibility?

Thank you. :) I'm color motivated. I think that is why I love dyeing fabric, making soap, and quilting/sewing. I'm also very tactile. So fiber arts appeal to me. I probably went overboard. I just really fell in love with the piecing. The other women are more pinterest craftsy. I think next...

That's an awesome idea. I wish we had more crafters in my work group. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one. Janelle

Thank you :)

I've been working on tote bags for an upcoming Christmas gift exchange at my church since July. I made a total of 5 and will share two of my favorites (so you don't get picture overload :) ) I dyed the teal fabric on the black and white polka dot bag; wrapping the fabric around coarse ropes and...

Great suggestions. I've never actually made goat's milk soap. I've just been reading up a lot on the subject and working up my courage ;) . Last night I read that someone combined their lye with a very small amount of water before adding it to the frozen milk because they had problems with the...

It is absolutely gorgeous! :) I use P&J trading fo in alot of my soaps--dh bought me a couple of collections for Christmas. I use .33 oz per 1 lb batch of soap. Using individual silicone molds this yields 6 soaps. Its a perfect size to experiment with scents. I love their Freesia scent...

Thank you for your sweet compliment. I kind of just swirled around the end of my wooden spoon. ;) I thought the inside would be more defined layers because I poured over my spatula to try to prevent the layers penetrating the one below. But I actually like the way it turned out better than...

Thank you :)

I cut the inside of the soap and took pics. I started a thread called "Secret Squirrel" soap in the picture gallery to share my excitement that the quirky process I used worked. :) Janelle

I call this my "secret squirrel" soap because it felt like a clandestine operation ;) I'm fairly new to soap making. This will be year two I've been making and using and sharing with family my creations. I stick to one basic recipe that I absolutely love, and have decided 2019 will be the year...

They are beautiful :) You've done a wonderful job. I like the rustic ones as well. Janelle
