What soapy thing have you done today?

[msunnerstood]

Cut my 3rd batch used a different recipe for this one and managed to get it to thin trace and somewhat successfully add and mix in patterns with the colours. I chose my 3 favorates to take a photo of not bad for my first attempt to make a few patterns

Congrats!

My vegan tester looks a bit better than my tried and true (with the ricing FO) after the cut
The ricer overheated and cracked, the vegan one looks pretty solid
No ash on either
Hopefully none shows up over the next couple weeks haha
Also
Boris is not impressed with my choice of activities tonight lol

Today I made a pink and natural coloured ombré loaf, scented in pink lemonade. It's time to start filling up the shelves.

Have to deliver Eggs to a guy (every Sunday, hey $3 is $3 ) On my way out the door I will mix the lye outside. And since it is 60 F out it will cool off nice !

Then finish coffee and make 2 batches.
Count out my left over inventory from the shows.
Think of new names for the 13 new FO's I did and put them in to Square for inventory . AND make labels for them.

You had a very productive day. I have trouble renaming to fragrances I cannot imagine coming up with creative names for 13

Market today... the Jeep is half packed and I'm finishing my coffee. Soapy endeavours have been severely curtailed this weekend because there is no lye in this town. I did, however, make bath bombs yesterday and tested one. It floats AND spins!

 

[msunnerstood]

I am hoping to make a small batch tonight with my remaining lye. Im going to have to start ordering larger quantities.

Cut the ombré MP shampoo bar
We need to buy some lumber, make some different curing racks I think

Those are gorgeous. May I ask what base you used?

Yesterday: picked up golden sandalwood power from post office
Today: me a soap with benzoin and sandalwood!!

Needs to cure a bit more time to unmold. Or the bevel gets dented....

Also is smells amazing soft and sweet woodiness

So far I have only delivered the eggs.

I just made pancakes and eggs so I still have a long way to go lol

I order the 50# as it is just easier. i will use it, but even if you only do a little, it does last

Got drunk and ordered $3000 worth of supplies.

Luckily, it maxed out on my credit card and the order didn't go through... phew!

[emoji79] good thing you maxed out! It's so easy to go overboard some days, sober or not.

Made some more salt bars cause it seems everyone loves them.

Also cut the coffee soap i did several days ago. It was still kinda sticky. First time that happens to me.

Don't suppose you have a recipe you could share for the coffee soap you made sounds interesting?

Just ordered an inferred thermometer for my soap and candle making because I'm fed up of trying to read a manual type when im outside mixing the lye and its either dark or getting dark and my digital one is a nightmare when it randomly turns itself off or starts beeping at me.

Well, the cold Lye is sitting here in the office with me. Le Sigh, I did not have the Umph to soap today.

I did manage to return some things to the store, do laundry, Sort and count the soaps I have from last FM/Fair.

I am currently in here to just grab another batch of curing soap to bevel while I am watching TV. And picking new names for soaps.
