Well yes lol this is one kid who can definitely say he grew up with soap making lolI see you already taught him how to assemble soap moulds. Priorities!
Awww Dawni I’m so sorry you all got sick. I’m glad none of you had to be hospitalized though. My daughter was sick with it too and had been fully vaccinated. It kicked her butt but she wasn’t hospitalized. She’s a respiratory therapist and got it from a fellow staff member and they all suit up. I’m sure you’ll need to just take care of yourself and try not to overdo it. With your little one I bet that’s easier said than done! Take it easy, it’s nice to see you back !I'm alive! Haha how is everyone?
We caught covid But fortunately we came out a lot better than some others. I have to say though, that this virus sucks something hard. It's been a month since recovery and we're still feeling the after effects.
Hence, nothing soapy has been going on lately.. Unless you count showering, washing hands and little butts..
But the soap room/dungeon/workshop is coming along nicely. It's done actually, I just have to set my stuff up and I'm only able to organize a few minutes a day. This was last night.

Also, my demonspawn has long ago decided that everything that's mine is also his. Not much of a choice since half this room is for him - I'm homeschooling him this year but a lot of his stuff is still in boxes n bags too. This was also last night.

I couldn't view either.I can’t get the video to play.
I'll be making four batches of soap this weekend. I hadn't planned on making anymore before Christmas but this is a special order. It's a collaboration with a local winery; they want to sell them in their gift shop/tasting room. I'll be making a red wine soap, a white wine soap, a rose soap, and a cider soap. They chose the fragrances and provided the wines and cider. If they sell as well as anticipated, this could become a regular thing.

@Misschief your reminding me that I have boiled red wine in the frig. Does the wine discolor the soap at all?
Yum! That look like fudge!Not Misschief, but I made soap with wine a few months ago and it came out brownish. I boiled down over 1.5 cups of dry red wine, and it came out to about 2 ice cubes, 28 grams in weight. I used this 28g of "wine syrup" and 118g of white vinegar as my liquid (33% lye concentration) in a 500g recipe. I added the melted and warmed wine to the oils before adding the lye solution. I didn't use any colorants or clay in the soap.

Agenda for the day:

That's the only soapy thing so far today (yes, new day already here hehe)
That is so kind of you to take that on. RIP poor kittyMy soaping session was delayed today for a sad reason. I was resting with a cuppa after my prep stage, when I saw a Facebook post about a deceased cat on the side of the road not too far from my home. While I know my cats don't usually go as far as the busy road, you just never know for certain if they might decide to explore a bit further for a change. I jumped up, went and grabbed some old towels and set out to find this poor kitty. Thankfully not one of mine or my neighbour's.
Here in the UK, council teams are *supposed* to check dead cats, dogs and other pets they collect for a microchip, and all have a chip reader on the lorry, but all too often we hear stories of times that does not happen, and so either the owners never find out what happened to their missing pet, or by the time they do find out after calling the council with a description, their pet has already been cremated along with all the other wild animals killed on the roads, so they can't claim a body or even their ashes. The usual excuse seems to be that the crew assumed the cat was a stray because it looked scruffy. No you idiots, it looked scruffy because it was hit by a car....
