I went through several trials and errors before I finally decided this was the best recipe for talc free powder. As I state on the de-funk de pits thread, I'm fat, so I use powder every day to keep me feeling dry. I have this recipe on SoapMaker 3. I initially made it using small amounts to...

https://www.facebook.com/dailydot/videos/1322986111105706/ Has anyone seen this puzzle? I immediately thought of the SMF color challenge and Clyde Yoshida's color theory lessons that he gives in his videos. I like doing puzzles, but I think it would take me 10 years to finish this. If I...

I initially posted this on TOMH's vinegar thread, but deleted it because the last entry was in April. Besides, it really is different. Thanks in advance for the help! I love using vinegar in my soap, but I also prefer using 50% master batched solution. I soap at 33.333% and when I...

I didn't want to hijack another thread, but this is also kind of funny. When I was in high school, my English teacher had a heavy wooden stick that he would SLAM on the desk when anyone would "um" or "uh" while they were talking. No fillers in his class. I literally cringe whenever I hear...

This is probably classified as a "rant" more than anything. I am so annoyed. I was buying a bunch of Pure Fragrance Oils samples and decided to get the Witches Brew for Halloween. If I liked it, I'd order more and make a nice batch of Halloween soaps for next year. I got the bottle and...

I couldn't help but think of myself in the first and my dogs in the second. Feel free to add your funny stuff!

I decided to start this thread because it's really rude to hijack someone else's thread. I'm sorry Marie. However, I must also thank you. You got a great thread started and that in turn got my wheels spinning. So, if you're just joining in, please read mzimm's thread here...

I tried out my new mold. I made the mold. It is a huge mold compared to what I'm used to. I used a standard recipe of mine with a twist, I added not only goat milk powder (which I've done before) but yogurt powder (which I've never used). The problem is, it overheated because I covered it...

A very short while, actually. I spend waaaay too much time on the computer. I have to finish my "great purge" because the dumpster is being picked up on the 30th. I also have the epb (that's electric power board, Chattanooga is known as "Gig City." We're the only city in the US--maybe...

To all the Dads and sorta-dads out there, I hope you have a great day. Any man can be a father, but it takes a special man to be a dad. My uncle Bill was my father figure growing up. He's my hero. We've all got that special "Dad" in our lives. Some of us it's our actual fathers, for others...

Hello, all. I've been on the forum for over a year, but have never introduced myself properly. I didn't when I joined the forum because I wasn't sure if I would stay. You know how these things can be, catty, catty, catty. I've had enough of that in my life to last a lifetime. Then, when I...

This takes ebru to a whole new level. Get ready to be blown away. I sat in stunned silence. Mesmerizing. Simply mesmerizing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dKy7HNU4vk

I don't do textured or high tops on my soaps very often. I like to wrap plastic on my mold before CPOPing it or wrapping it in towels to gel. The problem I have with plastic wrap is, I'm not an octopus. I've only got two hands and that stuff takes at least four to get it on correctly without...

I was just looking at this thread and wanted to add my two cents. When I was doing my grand purge, I found some muslin that I forgot I had. I'm using some of it as a background for photographing my soap. However, I was thinking of making soap bags with the rest of it. If they turn out...

I know I mentioned this show once before on the "What's everyone watching" thread, but I just finished watching season three and was absolutely dumbfounded. This is by far the most amazing show on Netflix. Cillian Murphy and the rest of the cast are absolutely brilliant. And he is definitely...

OK, sorry to beat a dead horse. I opened the "missing" box and pulled out the soap cutter. It's very nice and extremely well made. However, it is ever so slightly crooked. The knife guides are slightly off by a few mm and will make a crooked bar. I don't know if I should keep it or return...

Say what? Yep. Mascara wands are effective tools to clean out the squeeze bottle tips. I just discovered that. I had a bottle brush that was perfect for the bottles themselves; but the tips? No go. Until I remembered my bag of disposable mascara wands. They're also effective tools in...

On Tuesday, I had to take Shredder to the vet to have her euthanized. It has been a very difficult week for me. To help me with my grieving process, I posted a tribute to her on my Facebook page. You've seen me post about my babies and how much they mean to me, so I thought I'd share the joy...

Remember, this is Earth, not Uranus. Please treat her gently. She's the only one we have and she has to last for our children's children's children's children's children's children's.... You get the picture. (Tree hugging message officially over. Have a great day y'all!)

I just scored big at Hobby Lobby. Today is their last day for 50% off their paper. I just bought five books of 180 sheets each for $9.99 insteas of the normal $19.99. This should last me for quite a while. The sheets are 12x12 inches and each book has 60 designs. This is one of them. ETA...
