Finished a box to store my cured soap in. Made it out of Ash, my son's girl friend drew the tree on the lid with a sharpie and we rubbed it down with Coconut oil to bring out the grain. Very happy with how it came out.
Beautiful!!
What soapy thing have you done today?

I've been wanting to try Sweet Cakes Ralph Lauren Blue to see how it behaves (seems like it does pretty well). It's one of my all time favorites, and I had about an ounce and a half. I also wanted to try a funnel pour with mostly white and thin one color bands. Started out fine, but wasn't working quite fast enough and the batter started getting thick toward the end. Not what I was looking for, but - hey - maybe I should try to spin this (not sure if white counted as a color for the challenge). Nope, no spin - at least on top where I could see. So why not chopstick and skewer the poor thing. Don't have a clue what I'll find when it's cut. My soapy adventure for today. It's pink and white - happy Valentine's Day!

I ordered thirty-five (35!!) 1oz fragrance oils. Ok, this has officially become a full fledged addiction.

I got my bud cutter today! It's so awesome. Cut two loaves already, they are so beautiful. So much better then my crooked cuts!!!
I'm sorry, you all... but when I read "bud cutters", my first thought does not go to soap. Not at all.
I was alive in the 60's too:mrgreen:.

Lol!! Yea you should have seen the picture I had in my mind.
Unmolded my aloe vera experiment...
It was supposed to be a two tone green but somewhere along the sap they became one.

Spilled half a litre of soap batter down the front of my jeans when the handle snapped off my pouring jug.
Good thing I was wearing pants I should wear an apron and think I will from now on.
Rules to live by for soaping: always wear pants...

My soaping plans for the weekend have been sunk!
We are having visitors and going to watch a triathalon in the sun and heat. I have spent yesterday and today (in between achieving some work) cleaning. Even worse I have to get up at 6am to watch them run. Oh joy.

Today I made the stinkiest batch of soap EVER.......leftover christmas beer soap. Wow! First it stunk up the whole house when I cooked the foam out of it last night. Then when I mixed it with the lye I thought one of the dogs had an accident! No kidding it stinks!
I liked the caramel color of it but being who I am I needed some added excitement so I lighted up a small portion with kaolin and TD, then I darkened up another portion of it with dried aronia berry powder which will also add a bit of scrubbiness. I really hope it turns out all macho and manly since I've been on a girly binge lately.

I've been neglecting my soaping lately for snow removal and wood bringing in-ing, and a bit of knitting. Today I'm printing out my wine soap recipe, making up a new lotion, and making more leave in conditioner (I use it as a detangler on the kids). I'm playing around with fractionated coconut oil for the first time. I finally got my hands on some really cheap. I found a local lady that hosts coop buys online, so I got in on one and saved on shipping by just picking it up. I'm so excited she's also doing a tallow buy so I should finally have some of that to play with!
Planning on making several batches of salt bars this weekend. Then on to some sugar scrubs and perhaps lip balm.

Made a failed attempt at the February spin swirl challenge. The ugly details are posted in the February Soap challenge thread.
