LOL!! I hope they like living here, and I'm enjoying spoiling them. They're already as much pets, as livestock - more, really. I've been thinking about the stakes, and the problem with them, is that we basically live on a rock, with few areas of actual soil. I'm not sure I'll be able to get any to go into the ground - but, I'm going to try, and I'm putting the paddocks in the areas of the best soil I can find anyway, so they should/will support the brush the goats will thrive on. If all else fails, I may have to line the outside bottom of the fences with cinder blocks. I dunno.
maybe get the bottom rail that are used on chainlink fences and wire them or wooden fence posts. might be easier to work with, I am sure you will figure it out--just nice to do it before they get out hahahahaha
started making foaming bath butter--will finish it tomorrow. I found a recipe online for bubble dough but darnit the ingreds weren't right on the amounts--I should know better so I just added a bunch of SLSA and am going to make bubble bars out of them tomorrow. I hope it works--I am over it for the night though. cant wait to see how the FBB turns out--so far it seems to have gone as planned.
I need new bubble bars anyway--a couple little girls broke 4 of them on Saturday--didn't catch till they disappeared. next month they wont be allowed to touch them

I'm new to soaping so its all an adventure! I went to a local farm, Gilchrist Farm for a Goat Milk Soap making class. Great place! and Monica made it all so easy. Milked a goat too. The next day I made Lavender GM Soap, Ginger Patchouli GM Soap & Sandalwood with Safflowers GM Soap. I will definitely have gifts completed for the holidays. What to do when you have too much soap????
Beautiful!

So.. Planing makes the difference between raw meat and prosciutto lol
I love, love, love these. The color combo is beautiful.
I have trouble getting coconut scent to come through. Which one do you use? Does it not discolor?
Cut two of my batches of soap today. Forgot the sodium lactate so I had to let them sit longer before I cut them.

The trick to consistency on a drop spindle is the same as on a wheel: at least 15 minutes of spinning a day and in a short time you’ll see your yarn improve dramatically!

Made a 12 bar batch of my Perfect Soap recipe. Poured it at just the right time. Used a version of the recipe to make 15 bars but used a mold for 12. I like my bars thick. Scented with Bay Rum. As usual, the scent accelerated the trace.
Nom nom - grab yourself some mozzarella and make these: https://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/parma-ham-and-mozzarella-bites#UhkpsBmVp2QvtZjq.32
@Mobjack Bay - I used this one: https://www.naturesgardencandles.com/creamy-coconut-fragrance-oil, but only at 1/3 of my total fragrance. The others were Frangipani FO and Sweet orange EO. I'm hoping it won't discolour too much at that rate. Last time I used it I also used two other coconut FOs with it - a roasted coconut and an island coconut. That soap definitely smells like coconut!
Read the reviews on the NG site - one person actually says she thought it had faded until she used it and the smell came out quite strong in the shower.
My husband asked what I was doing and I said taking pictures of soap for the soap forum.
He’s all like: the what?
Me: the soap forum?
Him: ...
Me: they have challenges and I need pictures
Him: ...
Me: soooooaaaaap foooooooooruuuuuum
Him: why.. who... there’s a soap forum?
Me: yes....
Him: eye rolls for days

LOL @KiwiMoose.. Oh btw, I love your latest soap. I haven't touched my silicone mats in a while..
Soapy thing:
My lye won't arrive til another few days so I'm spending my time planing soap and repurposing the shavings lol
I rebatched some today in the microwave and added confetti. Let's see how it turns out. Still in the mold.
