I was wondering if you all are still soaping. I love seeing the pictures of what you all are creating.
Has anyone had there Christmas fairs yet? If so how did it go? I'm hoping to get to a few myself.
Also Danielle, I am trying my hand at Cold Process Soaping and I just love the look of your soaps, would you be willing to share your recipe??
Also what do you use for color, I tried the crayon and I can't seem to get it to melt?
I have been using goats milk in mine as I have a doe in milk and her kids have been weaned.

Funny I find this thread here tonight. On my way home tonight from work I was just thinking "wonder if anyone is still soaping?" :lol: :lol:
You are all doing wonderfully!!!! :aktion033: When the minis in Kansas happened I basically had only them on my mind and was totally and emotionally exhausted so I didn't soap in about 2 weeks but two nights ago and at midnight
I decided to make a batch of coconut soap. I plan on making a honey almond soap tomorrow and a coffee kitchen soap and a jasmine soap, since its suppose to rain all day
On top of that tonight, just after getting home from work, my husband and son were busy trying to put the end on the steel building we put up this summer, it's 26 feet wide and 46 feet deep and 16 feet in height. Yep, they were trying to do this and it was getting dark :no: , WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???? Anyway to make a long story short my husband fell off the ladder and plunged to the ground and dislocated his shoulder. My son took him to the hospital (around 7 p.m) as I am babysitting my grandaughter (daughter gone to Hamilton to see the B.C. Lions (football) tomorrow. My husband got back about 1/2 hour ago and they managed to put the shoulder back in but he will be in a sling for 2 weeks, oh dear. Guess my son will finish that end piece because my hay guy is just waiting to deliver the major load of my hay. Two weeks ago my husband sliced his thumb pretty bad on the same structure and had to have 9 stiches in his thumb
Anywho, I should have some times on my hands tomorrow to also get some bath bombs done as I have a large order for those as well.
I will post a recipe tomorrow for you to try with oils you may have on hand. You don't have to go with fancy oils to start with. Basically if you have soya oil or any kind of vegetable oil (crisco which is soya oil), coconut oil (you can get at walmart) or you can substitute for palm kernel oil, grapeseed oil in small amount (get at your grocery store), sunflower oil, olive oil (not the extra virgin just plain old olive oil), etc. Tell me what oils you have on hand and I will figure out a recipe with the amounts of each and tell you what each oil contribute to the soap.
Nite for now.
