I haven't made any soap in months...I've really missed it. But now that Christmas is not too far off I have to get myself in gear and start making the soaps I want to gift to my nieces and nephews. Here's the first for my lovely niece Gabby...she loves purple. It is scented with "Snow Fairy"...

I made this set for my mom for when she undergoes treatments at the hospital...a guardian angel keeping watch over her. I hope she will like it!

Wow, my sons friend (our next door neighbor) just gave me a soapmakers nicest compliment. I had given him some of my soap a few weeks back and he just told me today that he wanted me to know that a lot of his friends have been complimenting him on how good he smells and he wanted to thank me...

My question....How do you handle talking to a a very difficult person when they are very sick. The reason i ask is that my mother has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and will have to undergo lots of chemo. She just had surgery and was sent home yesterday. Throughout these last couple of...

Thought I'd share some of my recent soaping adventures. I saw the tutorial for using a column to accomplish a psychodelic kind of look on Amanda's blog "lovinsoap.com" and I just had to try it My first attempt was the square slab pic. Unfortunately my soap started getting thick way to soon so...

I've never quilted before and wanted to start by quilting something easy so my first quilt was a "rag quilt". I loved it so much I made one for my mom too. And although it is relatively easy to do, it IS time consuming. But the results are great. This first quilt I made for my son's...

This is my parents 50th wedding anniversary soap. I made it for the favors. Didn't quite come out as expected but when does soap ever come out just so? That's part of the fun of it. I used the fragrance Pleasures because that is my mother's favorite perfume.

There is a thread on here about "what is your favorite poem". I thought it would be fun to start a thread where all the talented soapers out there who like to write poetry can share some of their own poetry. I started writing poetry (or whatever you all might want to call it) in 2004-2005 when...

Need some help. My parents 50th wedding anniversary is coming up and I've agreed to make soaps as a party favor for the event. It is their "Golden" anniversary so I was thinking of making white soap with golden flecks in it. Is there any such type of golden flecks sold anywhere for use in...

I just can't remember what fragrance I used for the yellow and pink soap darnit....I HAVE to start writing this stuff down. But the blue and green soap is scented with Bay Rum and it smells lovely! I love making soap :D

I made some soaps late last night and my kitchen was smelling sooooo nice! I love that! My soaps are still in the logs but the colors came out nice. Here's hoping they won't morph on me or anything! I'll add cut pics soon......

My niece has audtioned for something called glee and there is stiff competition. It'd be great if you guys could give her a gold star! Her goal...sing on broadway one day. This is not her greatest performance...but I've seen her sing up close and personal and that girl can SING! Thanks...

Just wanted to share my latest soaps with my Pop Micas. Having so much fun with them! :D

My oldest nephew Clint Herring is in a band called B-Film Extras and they played last night at the 930 Club in Wash DC. They were sooo excited to be playing at this location cause it's a pretty big night spot in DC. Anyways I'm attaching a couple of links to their music. Hope the links work...

Here's my first try at embedding with curly thingys. At least the colors came out right this time! :-)

I've never used gel from the plant but I'm curious to know if anyone has ever gotten the gel directly from the plant...how to you get it out? Do you just slit the plant and the gel oozes out? If so, how long can it keep before spoiling? I ask because our local latino bodega sells these huge...

I made this for the boys of the house. Was supposed to be extreme blue but as you can tell it isn't. I scented it with Coolwater fragrance...a very masculine fresh scent. I like the way they came out.

I've made 4 batches the last 2 weekends. One is still not cut and not too pretty since it totally went wonky on me..you know....soap on a stick. But these others came out looking nice. My favorite by far is the Plum soap. It smells soooo yummy and by a twist of luck the colors actually came...
