Okay here we go...
I made a blue cylinder of soap to make a star shaped loaf to embed into a special soap for a special boy that likes red white and blue. I took my time and had looked forward to making this masterpiece and that was no easy task because I’m a bounce off the walls type of person…
I NEVER have company!
I mixed my lye and got oils ready, my sister and brother-in-law stopped by and I thought no problem the lye & oil can sit, well they stayed and stayed and finally after they left I got busy again (I had grandkids coming and time was running out) got my soap mixed separated color added and wow it was getting thick fast, was going for a faux funnel pour with nice bright white and red stripes but decided that wouldn't work ugh <sigh>so started a drop swirl.
Bang Bang at the door it was the mailman with packages, he is new and wanted to visit while I stood there with my rubber gloves on and caustic soap all over from me panicking ok threw packages on couch and returned to my soap thick and not pouring but no problem I got this elbow deep and determined.. but almost fed-up as I’m trying to finish the neighbor guy (child like adult) walks in my open patio door with a bag of weeds asking me if it was catnip. (btw it was not)… I knew it wouldn’t be the star spangle banner I hoped for, it will be more like pink pot 1/2 swirl, if I'm lucky it might pass as faded glory... my first worst soap day! but! I do have soap...
