the old calf shed

hubby converted the old calf shed for me a few weeks ago. had to scrub the poo off the floor before beginning.










 
Ty Andrea and Starduster-- I've had that soap sign for years, wasn't even sure why I picked it up at the time. My subconscious mind musta known before the rest of me :lol: Emilee, I've been trying to talk DH into closing off the carport and giving it to me for soaping, still talking! :D
 
 
Photos soon

Hey my photos are coming.
I have them all and I mean ALL, loaded to go. But I ate all my internet bytes listening to Celtic Music Live Radio and now they have put me on go slow till the 13th.
I think it's like being put in the naughty corner.
:oops:
This excersize really made me take stock so twas a good thing.
It's all about soaping at my place just about.
:wink:
 
My saponifactory is a little bit all over the place too.....my curing soaps are in a kitchen cupboard which I have grabbed back from the kids craft storage...well, half of it anyway! And my oils are in both the pantry cupboard and under my office desk in my bedroom. No pics.....TOO messy by far. My cured soaps are in shoe boxes stored anywhere I can fit them in my linen cupboard.

My project this year is to empty out a couple of shelves in the linen cupboard and claim them for storage of oils, EOs and FOs, botanicals and soap....wish me luck!

Not really worth posting any pics. It's just a normal kitchen, lol.

I store my Oils in the fridge / in the kitchen cupboards as I use them for cooking as well. My FOs and EOs are together with the baking flavours, the moulds are stored in a corner, together with the bisquit tins and freezer containers.

My drying rack is the top of the living room shelf. Its dry, draft free and safe from the cat.

I keep wanting to clear out a corner of the kitchen to dedicate it to soap making, but I never seem to get round to it.

LOL, that's what I call my "soap room".

I am in the process of turning one of the rooms in our basement into my little work area and would love to see where the rest of you make your soap! Even if you make it in your kitchen - show me where you keep your supplies, etc!

It's late and my basement is dark, so I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow and post it.

Let's see yours!! :)
I work in my kitchen, hubby hates the smells, i said set me up a table downstairs and i will put it all down there! I set mt soap to cure in spare bedroom, hope no body comes to visit!

Yes I know I am lucky, also a lot older and more wrinkled than you. Geez ,I did my time in not so special work areas way back.I just kept dreaming ,planning ,hoping and at times holding on by my finger tips.
And guess what I still have dreams for different things.
That is all open living. That isn't all the areas I have let my soaping seep into ,here's the packaging ,fairy dust storage area far otherside from computor
 
Starduster I am green green green with envy!! I absolutely love your fish cupboard. Did you paint that? It is gorgeous. Your place is beautiful, and exactly how I imagined it would be. It is magical and spiritual. :D

Somewhere waaaaay in the future I hope to be inside here! Currently has electricity but no heat or plumbing. I can handle no plumbing (just bring everything into the house to wash) but no heat.....brrrr. Oh...and it's full of junk :oops:
 
Thank you guys for posting your spaces! Definitely helps give us some ideas on getting organized!
 
Ok.....I'll confess.....it almost never looks that clean! But I had just finished re-organizing and decided to blog about my space.

You should have seen it before...or now for that matter...you can't see the top of the bench!
