Spending money on soaping stuff. Unable to soap right now so preparing for some major soaping in the near future. Feeling withdrawal.
My fridge freezes and quits about every 2 months, randomly. Luckily unplugging it overnight fixes it, but I had just bought some goat's milk (I did get 5 bars out of that) and some cow's milk to soap with (among other uses for cow's, but still) when the fridge decided to act out. Spent an hour tossing refrigerated
soap (and other supplies). At least now I know I'm good to buy stuff for a couple months!
I have been considering doing a soap party at my house and after tossing the idea around with a few friends, it has turned out to be a list of 7 people thus far who want to come.
Yesterday I made a batch of Nag Champa soap using rose kaolin for the color. I used a bit more of the clay and am very pleased with the soft pink color.
I had no trouble unmolding the wave mold soaps. That mold is very user friendly, but the oval molds and the square one and the others will have to wait another day.
After hearing one too many complaints from my boyfriend about how my soap was taking over the entire downstairs of our house, I took the plunge and moved everything upstairs.
June - how very pretty those square soaps are! Is that a mold that gave that lovely texture on top? And I can't wait to get some colored clays. Can I ask where you get yours? That is a truly lovely pink.
June, those are lovely and creamy looking. Is the wave mold a log or individual bars? I love it - perfect for an ocean scent - do you mind saying where you got it?
June, you are amazing. Your DH, hip replacement, moving, remodeling and you *still* have time to soap, garden and have friends over? You seem like one of those people that make the best out of everything, I wish I was more like you. I so wish you the best right now, no matter how amazing you are, it is tough when the person you love the most is really ill.
