Any one who saw this before i just put direct links cause i couldnt solve the size issue
I dont even know where i caught this bug but im definatly hooked now. After i got this wild hair to do this i started the reasearch and decided on a recipe got together all the oils and other supplies i had to find a mold so i figured id use a silverware tray for hand soap bars and i made a four pound log mold out of some wood i had in the garage,so i was ready
http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz13 ... AG0281.jpg
The first recipe is : 15 ounces canola
30 coconut oil
27 olive oil
21 palm oil
5 shea butter
13.75 ounces lye
25 ounces rain water from the rain barrel
At trace i added 1/4 ounce ground lavender buds
And 1/4 ounce ground oatmeal with 1.5 ounces lavender e/o
Poured at 90 degrees
No stick blender so with the cake mixer it took 2 hours to trace b-cause it was 1 am and the kids were sleeping so i was outside in about 40 degrees till 2am making soap
I thought for sure i messed it up cause thats my luck but i didnt.
