So a soapy mistake i made yesterday...i started measuring out all my oils and i was adding and adding and the next thing i am thinking is “boy this seems like alot of oil for 30 cupcake soaps!” Then i realized i was measuring in ounces instead of grams!!! So. I made alot of soap yesterday. And i am making more soap today!!! So i will have plenty for the spring fairs and festivals i am going to!!!!
Yes, LOTS of soap! But how nice you will be prepared for the fairs and festivals!
I made my first batch of Coffee soap tonight. it was much darker when it was cooking so I was worried but seems to be lightening up as it cools. Also made a batch of dragons blood which I knew there was vanillan in it so I went lighter with the red assuming it would darken.. it didnt and now I have pepto pink lol
Oh, I am pretty sure they will darken! I made Easter eggs soaps last year with pretty pastel colors, but the DB FO (which I should NOT have used) turned them completely brown. They started turning within a short time, but by 6 months they were probably all brown, now they smell great, but look awful. Brown Easter Egg soaps just don't look like Easter to me.
So as far as soapy stuff today: Nothing yet, as I am still working on computer renovations. (Newly installed HD due to previous HD failure.) So many things to do, and I am so easily sidetracked away from one project to start on another. Photo downloads, makes me want to work on making videos (and I did do one yesterday morning), but also makes me want to organize folders, and the list goes on. Software re-installations/downloads makes me want to look for other software, upgrades or latest versions, or even more powerful programs, which leads to time spent on research and searching, etc. Opening FaceBook yesterday lead to 4 or more hours of listening to the Mark Zuckerberg hearings in Joint Session while multi-tasking on the other stuff. And it looks like that's my today as well.
One of these days I am going to have to find out if any of my previously saved Soap Formulas got saved to the cloud. All I've been looking for is photos. It would be nice to find some documents, too, but I don't want to get further side-tracked just yet. Today one soapy goal is to get my Soap photos back on my HD in appropriately named folders. This always takes far longer than I anticipate. I need to follow my To Do List so I can stay on track!
