My first attempt is now in the oven - first time CPOPing. Used lower lye concentration also - trying to compensate for the freezing cold weather leaking into the house. Wood heater is "toast" and has to be replaced which was meant to happen last week. Anyhoo ... I have been smitten all week...

I used 3 teaspoons to 1 kg of oils in this recipe. Australian teaspoons are 5ml - not sure if it's the same elsewhere. So approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons ppo. The soap is quite dark as you can see, but doesn't have a grey lather. Hope this helps :)

Oh Nevaria, I just started crying! I feel a bit of a goose but my goodness, that is beautiful. And what a wonderful song. I would be proud too. Thank you for sharing, that was a lovely thing to hear on Mothers' Day :) :)

Oh I love doing this! I'm an organiser, so using up bits and bobs is intensely satisfying for me. Let us know how it turns out :)

Very nice. Now you can do it again WITH the fragrance :)

Thanks for the links earlene. My favourite soap in the shower at the moment is an unscented Bastille Guspuppy. Sometimes simple is just the thing. I have extended family members who "order" this one from me as they have sensitive skin and it works for them. Didn't think I'd like it as much...

Well done smellynewbie - what an awesome first soap. You should be proud.

Me too, I must try this sometime ... They are really lovely!

I "liked" your post penelopejane because it made me smile as I was picturing you "running around like a demented chicken" :D I hope you do have another go, I want to see it! I have a germ of an idea formulating in my brain and will have a go at it this weekend. The soap in my head is beautiful...

Wow and Wow! :D Thanks for sharing a gorgeous story!

What's laundry butter, please earlene?

Hi Vonnie - I haven't made a bath butter myself yet either. I purchased a pre-made base for these kids.

Oh I would be too earlene, that's precious!

My little daycare munchkins "made" their mummies some foaming bath butter for Mothers Day which is this Sunday. They got to whip up their bath butter base and stir through some jojoba beads and cucumber & melon FO. They were so excited! So was I - I get to do soapy stuff at work as well as home :D

1. Sonya-m - no clue where I'm going with this yet but excited to see where I end up! 2. MySoapyHeart. *Puts on safetygear, cracks fingers, stares into camera* Ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille... 3. Penelopejane - I'd really, really like to put up an entry for this challenge. It's colours...

Not very original - my name is Suzie and I live in Oz - the land downunder that is. My avatar? Well, I love Stitch ... doesn't everyone love Stitch? ... he's misunderstood, cute, alien, totally weird, and Lilo and Stitch is my favourite kids' movie. I spent 10 years as a single mum raising...

Wow that is really lovely!

They are both gorgeous. What an awesome idea - the salt and pepper bar.

I am so smelling chocolate and mint here! mmmmmm :)
