We just moved to a new house which was really stressful but it’s an old farmhouse in the countryside and I get to have a big vegetable patch now. I have cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, climbing beans, peas, squash, courgette, cabbage, kale, kohl rabi and beetroot going so far. Does anyone else...

I am running a secret Santa for handmade soaps/cosmetics over in a European soapmaking Facebook group. I know we don’t have that many Europeans on here so I struggle to get enough people wanting to do soap swaps so if you would like to join in and are in Europe then send me a PM and I will give...

I am hoping we might get some melt and pour entries for this challenge as it is open to both cold process and melt and pour makers this month. Please feel free to sign up if you would like to participate :)

Just to let you know that my example soap and video are coming, but due to my digital ineptitude I can't get it to work. My hubby is away working this week so I will upload it when he is home to help me. Sorry guys! You don't really need my example anyway as your soap design is your own choice...

I have made hundreds and hundreds of bars of soap using my same recipe and never had a problem with it tracing way too quickly, but this month it has been a nightmare. My recipe is just Palm, olive, sunflower and coconut oil. I thought at first it was the olive oil as I had changed supplier, but...

Most of the recipes found online don't include chelators in the recipe. I'm wondering if mine would benefit from the addition of some EDTA or sodium citrate? It's a bit grainy so may make the texture of the bars a little gritty, but I might give it a try. Has anyone else tried this, was it...

I have just had some powdered colourants arrive. People say that they should be 'bloomed' in water first to avoid speckled bombs and bubble bars. I was wondering if anyone had a tried and tested technique to share please?

I've been a bit quiet lately as life has been a bit tough recently, but I feel like things might be improving a little bit now and I have been making some soap again. Here are my latest bars - Rose velvet and precious oud scented Cranberry and pomegranate scented

Welcome to this month’s soap challenge. I am going to try something a little different this month. I always struggle with choosing colour when trying to make my soaps, I always tend to copy other people’s colour schemes or use palettes from places like design seeds. However there are many tools...

A sneak peak at the soap I made for November's challenge which I will put up in a couple of days. Do t worry it doesn't give away what the challenge will be! I'm sorry I have been absent from the forum lately, my dad was seriously ill, then I was forced to move house because of our neighbours...

This month the soap challenge club theme was sculpted layers. It was really hard work and I've been tight for time this month so it nearly killed me to get it done. Here is my entry in the end though, it's meant to look like a city skyline.

I just took part in a European soap swap and my box of goodies arrived today! So excited to try them all out. Thought you guys would share in my excitement because no one else understands the joy of a good soap swap!

I am with my stall at a Christian festival today. I'm not religious myself, but I'm really enjoying the music and have a wonderful view of the sea. The weather is beautiful too. What more could I ask for?
