I would also really like to buy a dark christmas green colorant of some sort for coloring cedar soap. Does anyone know of good dark green for cold procces? I still have not found a good red either :cry: Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated!

Rustic pumpkin....I like that:-) No, I'm not sure it smells enough like coffee to use that excuse :D Thank you so much for the suggestions!

What do you all use for colorant in peppermint soap? I would really love to get a bright red color to swirl with. Thanks!

Hi! Wow it's been awhile since I've been here! Does anyone have a creative name suggestion for darkly discolored pumpkin soap? Mine is sort of a dark brown...and well, it doesn't look like pumpkin pie at all. :( Thanks!

SBP~ You have a BEAUTIFUL place there! Wow. And your plants look lovely!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Sorry I did not respond sooner, I totally forgot that I posted this! Sheep shaped shopes :lol:

I tried making strawberry jam without pectin a few months ago, it turned out OK, but was a bit runny :D If you cook it long enough it is alright though. There are a ton of recipes and things on the internet, but don't trust them all, it is better to learn from people around you, (or people...

That's exciting! I am always way too anxious to get everything out...I put my poor tomato plants out way too early and the cold weather, wind and rain pretty much killed them. This is only my 2nd year of gardening, so it's a learning experiance :D Anyway, I like to say they are half alive...

Thnx to everyone for your imput! lovetosoap~ I have heard several people mention those seed supplier names...I have a list of safe seed co.'s as well, ( the seed co.'s that are safe as of today :wink: ) Fedco is a good one too. They have a large selection. It's sad to think that Monsanto...

Here is my website if anyone would like to see my sheep milk soaps! www.GracefulEwe.com

Tabitha~ Thanks for the link, I had not come across it yet. It IS frightening to see what they're doing. They are now estimated to own 85-90% of the nursery market, which of course includes all the fertilizers and herbicides. They've made it illegal to save seeds from "their" special...

I've never posted to this part of the forum before...don't even know if this is the right place to ask something like this.... :D Have any of you folks heard much about Monsato and their GM seed, Bovine Growth Harmones, and all the ways they are trying to take over the word's food supply? I...

Eesil7We~ Thanks for your imput! It's always good to hear from people who have tried these kinds of things. I think I'll just forget about this making infused oil thing. Maybe it would work really well in MP. I don't think I want to take any chances of it fading to nothing in my CP though...

Ok. That makes more sense. Do you think infused oil would still work though? Or would I have to use so much of it that I would have to totally change my recipe to make up for the extra oil?

Wow thank you so much for taking the time to write all that and give me the links! :D I am a little confused now though. I am wondering if the method I am wanting to use is not going to make essential oil at all...it will be sort of a scented carrier oil or something? All of the websites I...

I have been looking into using essential oils in my soap, and since they are so expensive, I am wondering if I can make my own. I have searched the web and found a lot of helpful sites, but am just wondering if anyone here has had experience with this. I am wanting to try it in a crock pot...

Wow thanks everyone. I really appreciate all of your input. I think it would be wise to go ahead and try out some different places...I would also really like to use some EO's. I have never tried them before. I have tried a lot of different scents from Gelluminations, and have liked a lot of...

I have been buying from Gelluminations so far, and I have to use about 4 ounces per 100 oz batch. They are SO cheep, but I am wondering if I would use less of other company's fragrances, because they are stronger. Does anyone know if it would come out to be about the same price to buy a...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! They are SOOOOOOOOO cute!
