Some of them did get hard last year. They were hard to get out of the container. If I were going to do them again this year I'd let them dry out a bit.

ADORABLE soap!

WSP lost my last order and to make up for it being late they sent me double the amount I ordered of everything. I was reordering Several of my favorite fragrances. I had ordered large sizes- now I've got plenty for all of next year! Also they're having a sale....

Thank you! What do you scent your lumps of coal with? I'm a bit stumped on that...

Thanks!

Thanks! That's what I'm looking for!

Last year I saw some ADORABLE lump of coal soap pictures. I can't remember where I saw it though. Has anybody made a cute one and willing to share pics and methods?

I like it! Looks beautiful!

A friend came over and made soap with me. It was fun and I think they'll turn out nice!

I read somewhere that infrequently used soaps are more likely to go rancid than properly stored soaps. It was that bubble test I read awhile back. I'll see if I can find it

I made a batch with (undrinkable) wine. It smelled off and I eventually threw it out. It mellowed some but not enough. Alcohol maybe?

Ugh this heat is miserable. I just got done working in the garden. Good thing I have good soap- this time of year we all take multiple showers a day. Oh and that blacksmith soap works great. Thanks @earlene !

Who takes a bath in the dark?

last few batches- The oatmeal ones turned out well. I pulled the bubble wrap off too soon. I vow to be more patient next time. The black and white turned out well. Scented with Somali Soul from NS. The bottom left is eucalyptus mint from NS which behaved very well and is sticking. Top...

It behaved very well, and it's sticking, but I don't like the fragrance quite as well as WSP. There's almost a floral note to it.

Today I trimmed several batches of soap. I tried two milky way molds- both released cleanly but I didn't like the tray mold. I couldn't cut them evenly- a problem I should have anticipated. The cavity molds were nice though. The accelerated batches turned out better than I expected but...

I made two more batches of soap. Both of them accelerated. The first one was a single color soap and it was moderate acceleration, so those will be okay I think. The second was another try at orange pumpkins. The batter was thicker than peanut butter. I am not optimistic. 🙄

Today only! I don't use EO's, but many of you do...
