msunnerstood, I am amazed they were not appreciated for their beauty. Too bright? Has she never seen a water lily? Or looked closely at the color variations in any flower?
Here's one at the Botanical Gardens in St. Louis that I took last summer. The subtle variations in color aren't as evident due the bright sunny day, but your first soap captured them pretty well, I think.
(I love photographing water lilies, well, anything really).
Anyway, all your soaps are really quite lovely. I particularly enjoyed your antique sunflower. So gorgeous!

Thank you! I still have the carnations to do. Wish me luck
I try not to gripe but today I'm griping. First, it's really slow today. Second, my boss said one of us could go home early. My co-worker wouldn't even hear of discussing who could leave; he decided it would be him. I would have appreciated at least a conversation about it.
selfish people suck

Even If you don't celebrate I am wishing you a happy day.
Maybe Maybe this afternoon you can still go fishing?

Happy birthday! Might not be the best of days but I do hope you feel well enough to celebrate even a little. Kidney stones are no fun!
I'm sorry you are missing your fishing trip, Lin. I hope your birthday and health improves.

I haven’t soaped in over 3 months and was planning on making my challenge soap today.... my husband got me sick over the weekend and I’ve been apathetic to doing anything. It’s only a cold but it’s leaving me more lethargic than cold usually do. I have things to do but I’m just rewatching Sherlock.

I know that feeling! But it’s worth it. kidney stones are no fun.
I really like the pink one on the left! Good job.

My gripe: toilet paper! Ken does all of the shopping. 4 days ago I said "Honey, I just put the last roll in the bathroom". Two days later "Baby, we're down to 1/2 a roll. Don't forget to get more." Guess who caught a case of diarrhea after work yesterday and had to run to Big Lots for more toilet paper? Thankfully my prayers were answered and I made it to the store and back without incident [emoji6]. But Ken is in the dog house for at least a week lol.
Non soap related gripe. Brother we have bad blood with keeps pushing to come park his camper in our field at our new house and "camp" for a weekend. I have zero desire to play hostess for him for 2 hours let alone 2 days. I can't just tell him that and start a huge drama filled family squabble but after all the crap he's pulled, we dont want him here, ever.
Have tried everything. we dont have an external plug in (of course he has a generator) Its too hot out here and he wouldnt be comfortable (Of course, his camper has air) uggh

I hear you. No is not a bad word; it's a boundary.
I wish he would take a No. Ive even explained we just arent set up or ready for guests until at least next summer..
Saying NO to family is THE hardest thing to say and the hardest thing to hear. I've had to do it. I know.
My hubby tells them, he just carries the bucket and crates I do the soapmaking! When they look at my crochet he tells a potential customer he taught me how to crochet. That always breaks the ice. If I had to do markets without the hubby I would not do them, he is a great seller. I do not mind selling but he is better...
Grip for the night is this disgusting hot humid weather we are having and being stuck in one room where we have an air conditioner. My house is impossible to cool in the summer if our nights turn hot which they have
At this rate we are in for a long hot summer since October had turned into our hot month for the last several years. Have not been able to make soap for the last 3 months and I am getting extremely low.
