The Force knows I tried. I tried my best, okay? Seriously, one of the single most generous gifts Mrs. Zing gave me was a weekend of all 9 DVDs (look it up, kids) and we shared a weekend Star Wars-a-thon.Wow!! and you still gave her a chance! Were you able to convert her?
Wow! Awesome job! And congratulations on your new cutter toy!I cut the last of my 48 pounds of soap made over the past 6 days. Much love for my new cutter that does loaves, slabs & bars as this task would have taken a much longer time to complete without it. All are now curing on my shelves with a fan on them to speed the process up, and will be ready to be labeled & put on store shelves when I get back into town mid-June. I need to go on a holiday, and good thing I am doing exactly that next week
Have ordered more essential oils in 1 litre sizes & other raw materials as I am burning through some of them quite quickly.
Have started all new batches of natural colorants & scent extraction mixtures, infusing into almond oil by the litre....Himalayan rhubarb root, indigo naturalis, brazil wood, fusic (? and I'm too tired to check), beautiful chocolatey smelling coffee beans, Madagascar vanilla beans in castor, smoked paprika, chlorella, safflower, yellow dock & so on.
My dirty soaping tools are still sitting on my kitchen counter, waiting for a wiping, then a scrub & a final de-oiling with some isopropanol, which I find very helpful in removing excess oils & other residue. My bucket-o-dirty-rags are sitting outside on my stoop, waiting to be washed. Everything can sit there until I feel inclined to begin the clean-up of the aftermath. In the meantime, I feel I have accomplished a fair amount in the last week, especially since I've managed to squeeze this into my regular work schedule & gardening.

1 tablespoon in 16 oz. hot water.
Allow to soak for 5 minutes.
Oil & wax rises to the surface. Can be skimmed off and the solution can be saved for another use.
Wow! Awesome job! And congratulations on your new cutter toy!
Indeed. Where would we be without our silent helpers. I don't give them permission... it's enough that I keep them scrambling.We all have a team working with us, if we are willing to connect & communicate with them, as well as give permission for them to assist us
I too have that same relationship with me, myself and I. When no one else is around, who else can give us that well-deserved pat on the back.THAT suddenly impressed ME, and I am not often easily impressed

One thing I have learned is that when you get the first shipping notification from CCT, it means that they have started working on the tools/molds you have ordered - not that it has actually been shipped. It can be a few weeks from that time for everything to be completed and on its way. Worth the wait IMO.My Custom Craft tools molds still haven't arrived, shipped over 2 weeks ago I do believe

Awww.when I got home from a 'city trip' yesterday, the smell coming from all those soaps curing on my shelves which greeted me when I walked in the door was amazing
