Wait, what…..I see shades of green, brown, and tan. Is this about to be one of those blue/black dress vs.gold/white dress moments? 😂
See ~ I think it was just a matter of sharing a preference for the pink and purple camo ~ it didn't occur to me that people were seeing it differently! 🤣
I see 2 shades of green, a light tan (natural?), a brown, and a black ~ looks like normal camo colors to me!
 
Just checking in. I've been MIA for a while. I had my basement finished and will have a dedicated craft room. I'll still have to do soap in the kitchen with proper ventilation, but I am soooo glad to have all those workmen out of my house.

Hope all of you are well and soaping!
Such a great feeling. Now you can enjoy your new space. Have fun. :dance:

Glad you are doing well, @ShirleyHailstock! Sounds like you and @Zing are on a similar journey with the basement remodels. Love it!

Ooo! Craft room envy! I can't wait to have a place for all of my crafty stuff ~ where I can work and not bother anyone (my husband) 🥰
 
You are so sweet... I have a private room so THEY won't bother ME. 😁
That too! Usually he doesn't bother me much, it's my mess that bothers him 🙄 Some of my stuff has to sit out to dry and it might be a few days until I get back to it so he sits there staring at it asking how long until I'm done with it (sigh)
 
@Blue1969 and @Shelley D if you both wouldn’t mind sharing a recipe i would
Really appreciate it. I have been looking up information and of course i read the reviews and i have been getting discouraged. They all say too abrasive for teeth. And i didn’t know that it would not taste good 🤔. I did see a recipe on a website and it looked promising, but then i couldn’t find it again. I am still looking to find it.
Hi,
This was 5 parts calcium carbonate powder, 2 parts baking soda, 3 parts xylitol, 5 parts coconut oil, essential oil (I used peppermint) for flavour. Did not taste bad, but the pieces of carbonate got stuck between my teeth!

I know the feeling!
 
I finally made dual-lye soap! I've been wanting to do it for so long but was irrationally frightened. I followed the directions of @DeeAnna 's Classic Bells dual-lye directions, and it was so helpful!

I used a new FO (Champagne Pear by Fragrance Buddy), so I kept it simple and did an uncolored, no swirl soap. I think the creamy color goes really well with the FO.

I see an SMF spousal support group starting up, @Shelley D. My DH complains long and loud (with justification) that he wants to be able to eat at the kitchen table again. And don’t let him get started on the number of boxes required to be broken down for recycling each week. Or wanting the stove and counter cleared so he can prepare a meal. 😜

Mine agreed to give up the kitchen table just so I could transition to "work-from-home" for my day job but my crafty stuff puts him over the top 😬 (also with justification). I tried to pull him over to dark side by getting him his own set of oil paints, brushes, canvases, a couple easels, sketch pads and pencils ~ all so he could have a creative outlet also, but he's quite hesitant about me seeing that side of him. He says he only did it for himself, no one ever saw his work before ~ but I gently persist 😁
