    Fall Soap

    I haven't been on here much since mom died, but I managed to finally get back in the soap lab a few days ago and made my first fall soap of the season. I call it Fallen Leaves and used Mad Oils micas and their Home for the Holidays FO. The inside colors were too muted for my taste but they still...

    Won't be here much

    Got word from my dad this morning that mom's being moved from ICU to a nursing home and to contact hospice. It's just a matter of time now. I'm leaving tomorrow for Chattanooga, TN to stay with my sister-in-law who's not far from where mom will be so I can visit her daily and help care for her...

    Finally did my honey soap!

    Here's my finished custom order for a local beekeeper who wanted me to design a soap using her honey. I hope to cut it in a couple of days. I ran low on my OMH scent so combined it with some Baby Bee Buttermilk and it actually worked well together and smells lovely. I topped it with piping and...

    Custom MP Honeycomb Embeds

    I am happy with how this experiment worked out since I've never tried it before. I simply lined my silicone mold with bubblewrap (bubble side up), melted my clear soap added some local honey and micas that I mixed together for a honey color. I poured a thin layer than unmolded after a few...

    Miracles Do Happen

    I haven't been on in several days due to my having to rush to Chattanooga, Tn which is a 6 hour drive north from where I live to see my mom who got rushed to the ER Thursday morning. Her BP went dangerously low and my dad was taking her to her normal doctor when she collapsed and daddy did CPR...

    A Little Dissapointed

    Well my appointment with that cute artsy general store that wanted to carry my soaps from the craft fair was this morning. She had told me she was interested in doing wholesale with me although she's actually a consignment shop. Well I get there with samples of most of my stock and the lady...

    Success! WOOT!

    Well sort of lol. I only made $52, BUT they showcased mine and other vendors items on the news (see the link) and I love how my basket of soaps were clearly seen giving me a nice bit of a bump! Also, one of the vendors there has an actual store and wants to maybe set up a wholesale account...

    First Show Jitters

    Welp, my first show of the season is tomorrow morning and I'm so very nervous! My hubby can't be with me for support other than to help me set up, then he'll leave to babysit our son. I'll be on my own with no help (ugh). So I hope nothing goes wrong. I understand though, our son is only 7 and...

    I'm Gonna Go Insane!

    OMG y'all, I HATE FLEAS! The hot summer months have already started a few weeks back here on the Gulf and fleas are everywhere, including our house. I've tried everything to get rid of them, and of course hubby's freaking me out by dousing the carpets and furniture with toxic chemicals! :x I...

    Just Finished...

    I have a new EO blend that has rose, lavender, orange, and ylang-ylang, and decided to test it out. The pic doesn't show it, but the base is a light to medium green with a purple mica line, then topped with white and blue cornflowers. Speaking of mica lines... I'm still very new to doing them...

    Pickle Buckets

    So I went and got a nice 5 lb. pickle bucket from Firehouse Subs since they're only $2 and the money goes to local fire depts. The only problem is, is that it hits you in the face with the pickle smell and I've scrubbed with dish soap, white vinegar, bleach, etc... and NOTHING is making a dent...

    Rainbow Soap

    My DH still has my good SLR camera and he's out of town, so I had to take photos with my really old Kodak digital camera. But until I get my SLR back, here's some better pics of the rainbow soap I attempted. I would have preferred more even layers and a brighter red. The yellow bled a bit and...

    First Rainbow

    Seeing as rainbow soaps seem to be so popular, I decided to try one this afternoon. I don't have a nice, true red, so had to settle on an American red which is much darker, so I have NO idea how it's going to look. I did it in reverse color order so the darkest is on bottom and finished with a...

    Dandelion Salves

    I love all things dandelion. I eat them, pickle them, make tea to drink with them, and now I've added soaps and salves using them! I make no claims obviously to the public, but I'm here to tell just you all that this salve has been a God-send for my son's rash. I have to give props to the...
