Nope, not one bit. 🤣
That a LOT of fragrances to choose from!
I don't know what that creed fragrance smells like. I've never even heard of that one. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Yeah think I have a little scent problem lol.

If you like black cherry you'll prolly like that scent. it's the first thing that hits your nose. But the dry down is beautiful. I would love to do a black/ red/ black or red/ black/ red ombre. But, those are both colors that can bleed and stain if not careful. yellow/ orange/ yellow sounds good too
 
Well, i finally jumped on it. I did use the Creed Carmina scent. I love love love how it smells! I hope it doesn't morph after saponification. color choices were pink, orange and yellow. I hope they come thru ok.

I’ve never tried the Wellington FOs, but that one sounds like a scent I would love. How did it behave for you?
Very well! I was able to get through a 3 color ombre without soap on a stick lol. My recipe is 40%lard 20% coconut and rest oils, so not slow but the lard helps tame it. the fragrance didn't speed things up any.
 
Made a pound test batch of a revised formula trying to increase longevity. Mango/shea/PKO/Castor/stearic-acid.

Soaped hot (158° batter). Instant pudding adding in half the lye water. SB never used. About two minutes of stirring and done. Very very thick trace. But still just barely fluid. Scented with oatmeal milk and honey (vanillin free🤯)

Hope to cut it tonight😬

@Nonnie I can’t wait to see the cut. I use a lot of Wellington Fragrances. Most of the FO behaves itself, but stay away from Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin Latte, Huge color change. I know vanilla in it I’m sure, but it smell gorgeous! Any ideas what I could use that in? Maybe on pine cones.

Pine cones sounds fun! How do you do them?
I think candles, wax melts and my diffuser for my non soapy and non lotion FOs I love.

This was pumpkin latte from MWFC. it discolored too and I just rolled with it. I left a bit unscented for the white on top. I did a scrub with it and added a little copper mica, so the discolor wasn't really a big deal there either.

And ditto on the wax melts or crumbles for the naughty FO

Super cute!!
 
What soapy thing have I done today? None, and none yesterday and none the day before yesterday ... and none ten days in a row because I broke my left hand.
But this morning when my younger daughter came to help me have a shower she also told me they`d run short of soap and asked for three more pieces. This was a joy for my soapy heart :) 🧼

I'm so sorry to hear that. As one still recovering from a recently-fractured thumb, I am shuddering at the pain level you must have experienced with that broken hand. 😨🤗

Hope your hand heals quickly.
I understand your joy, one of my nieces loves my soap which makes me so happy.
 
I went shopping and found a top for my work bench in the new shop I'm working on. I also got started on my hugemongous rolling table. Wired up some plugs. Did some cleaning since one of the kiddos decided to break apart container of gold glitter. it's still everywhere lol.

Nice!!
I am stuck in the house as well with a cancer recurrence. But did muster up enough energy to try these spring bars with little birds nests and tiny Robin's eggs on top! Can't wait to cut it today.
