What soapy thing have you done today?

[violets2217]

I had a sample of OT’s Passionfruit Tropicals, so used the whole bottle. The remainder was OT’s Satsuma Guava, and, to lighten and round out the fruitiness a little, NG’s Vanilla Champagne.

Looks beautiful... and I’m wishing I could smell it! Sounds wonderful!

Making soap (waiting for lye to cool), packaging soap, and watching soap making videos. I may have a problem.

Is that moonshine in the Mason Jar?

Goodness, that is a nice setup.

I made a 3 layer lavender soap - special request from a friend, and she wants to buy all the bars.

I wish! I did back to back 4 pull throughs in a row today. First time I’ve done that, and it was a lot!! If I’d been SUI it would not have gone well, at all!
Edit: It’s aloe juice. Not exciting.

I see only problem-solving. If I had this set up, I would basically live in it.

I’m super grateful! I lost my work of 30 years due to covid. My DH helped me make this space in the garage, and I can just lose myself in there. Having this soap studio makes me feel really lucky. There’s a utility sink too! I’ll be spending most of the day at that tomorrow. not glamorous.

I love your setup!! I'm soaping out of my basement currently and I dream of having a workshop like that someday

Um, ya want glamor? Slip on your heels. If you've ever seen movies of homemakers back in the 50's, they did dishes while wearing a house dress and heels -- like in Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver. (Really dating myself here, aren't I. )

What I wouldn’t give for a space like this for soaping.

Made carrot soap using @Zany_in_CO’s carrot tissue oil recipe. Also added carrot juice and some rice water. I’m loving the addition of rice water! This is only the second time I did not use a colorant in a soap. Choosing a scent took some thought. Used a combination of BB’s Cocoa Butter Cashmere and NG’s Pumpkin Apple Butter.

I spent the afternoon trying to find Sodium Coco Sulfate. I sold all but one of my shampoo bars and I had planned ahead and placed an order 5 days ago. I found out today my SOS order wont even ship until next week. 10 days just to ship?? I cant find it semi reasonably anywhere else.

What JoyfulSudz said. I was going to say “what she said” but that’s sexist of me to assume!

Yeah coz @Basil is not a bloke.

It’s hard to top this glamour!

I just had my Foaming Apple arrive all the way from the USA last week - and it only took two weeks to get here! Shampoo bars on the agenda for this arvo...

 

[TashaBird]

i’m very intrigued by these shampoo bars in the making!

Lotioncrafter - me and @Jillyb went halves in a big bottle to offset the shipping charges.

Lotioncrafter is tops! Good lady to do business with. Good quality. She has been around forever!

A bit chilly, eh? Now I KNOW that’s a wine glass over yonder.

I threw out a bunch of soaps that were guilty of making me itch.
