What soapy thing have you done today?

It has been quite a while since I popped in here. I have not done a soapy thing for a while--I believe the last batch of soap I made was in May 2023. Even put all of my soaping supplies in storage bins. Wondered if anyone has attempted to sell used supplies on eBay.

I haven't sold any soapy things on ebay, but I think SMF has a FB destash group? Maybe I'm not remembering correctly. There is also a classified section here.

If all else fails, I've never had a problem with someone quickly taking soapy/crafty items when I put them on my local Buy Nothing group (also FaceBook).

Made my first feather swirl today. We'll see how it goes! Also uncovered but haven't yet unmolded my first line pour, which I did yesterday.

Love a long weekend for finally having enough time to try new designs.

@The_Phoenix I am sorry to hear you aren't soaping anymore, and I hope all is ok for you. I was going to suggest our SMF classified section, too. I've been both a seller and buyer there, with all positive outcomes. A friend of mine keeps close watch on FB Marketplace for soapy destashes; seems like there is a study supply of them there.

I always love your soaps, you're so skilled with colors and swirls!

One of my Christmas orders were picked up today. This is the customer who specifically requested packaging so she can give the soaps as gifts for Christmas. This is the order that fueled my mission to finally figure out how to package and label. Needless to say, I was anxious to see her reaction to my packaging/labeling. She was thrilled! So thrilled that she doubled her order, gave me a tip, and told me she'd like to regularly purchase in bulk and asked when I will be making more since she now knows how long they take to properly cure.

@Servant4Christ that is great news!
@The_Phoenix I hope everything is okay and you stay well. Even if you don't soap right now I'm sure your experience and knowledge will help many of us.

I just got a delivery from my MIL. 40lbs of unrefined tallow. Guess I know what I'm doing for the next week or 2.
