    Mobjack Bay 2024

    When my husband passed away, I thought I would die. I was so mad at him for leaving me! I know irrational!! He was my best friend, and my second husband, we were married for 32 years. When I met him I was a single mom raising a son since he was 18 months old, and I went back & finished...

    Mobjack Bay 2024

    That is hilarious! My DH turned mine on his lath, I will have to find them and send a pic. they are quite handy, flat on the bottom and round to fit the PVC cap, and are about 6-8" high! You should see the Cherry Asian-style bedroom set he made us... beautiful! I still have lots of his turned...

    Mobjack Bay 2024

    I will step in here and tell you what I do with my PVC tubes. I cut a piece of silicone that fits the bottom of the tube perfectly, then I cover it with a double layer of plastic wrap, secure that with painter's tape and then screw the bottom on. If you look in the plumbing department you will...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I have searched and can't find the differences between Duck and Goose fat for soaping. From what I have read they are quite similar. So going forward, many years ago I was in Prague and sweet-talked our waitress into bringing me a BIG box of goose fat to take home so I could render it to bring...

    Yay for broken ankles

    My heart is with you on this, nothing like being out of commission when you have everything planned for a few months in advance! Crutches are the worst, see if you can get one of those little knee scooters, they are so much easier to navigate and your armpits and arms won't feel like they are...

    Mobjack Bay 2024

    Do you use a silicone mat in your PVC tubes? That is what I have planned on using, my husband was a woodworker, and when he was alive he made me wooden molds to hold the ends of the tubes stable after they were full. He passed away and then I just quit soaping along with just about everything...

Your feathers are fantastic and for the first time this Spring I am not going to be mad at the city where I live because they are always late to mow down the dandelions, I will be out in the...

    Etsy Shop DIY Bath & Body Shop

    Thanks, Misschief! Looked at the site and am going to purchase the lip balm recipe and see how it works with another butter I have because I can't use beeswax in any of my recipes as it dries out my skin. I have found out over the years that a lot of folks that are allergic to bees have the...

    Latest Update on Cheryl

    cmzaha, find out who the manufacturer and name of the "uber biological med" look up the phone number and ask the receptionist for the department that helps folks who can't afford to pay for this product. The hospital where you were at should have sent someone from social services to see your...

    A few good buys

    Saponif, you and I are in the same boat! It hasn't been quite as long for me and thank heavens I have a lot of my old recipes that I really liked but I am going back and tweaking my lye & water ratios, and I don't remember about the iodine numbers and what they mean! I feel like a newbie all...

    This is in 2# Bottles which is perfect for me and I don't let the "littles" go into our basement, too much for them to get into! I will give Shay & Co. a shot. Thanks for the tip!

    A few good buys

    I just put in a Google question about where to buy food-grade lye for soap making and Walmart popped up with what I think is a pretty decent cost of $4.39/# for 10#'s with free shipping. It is made by Florida Laboratories. Have any of you folks used this brand, I read the reviews, there was...

    Looking for woody essential oil blend

    When I first joined the forum I looked for men's fragrances and found some in the new member category if I remember correctly. One of them was a dupe for Old Spice: 1 part nutmeg EO to 2 parts sandalwood FO, the west were lots of different EO mixed together. Another was called Dude: 1 part...

    Lye by Essential Depot

    I read somewhere that if you wipe the outside of the bottles, pail & gloves with a dryer sheet you won't have much of a problem with static. You can use the sheet over and over when the stuff on it wears off, just grab another one. I use wool dryer balls, so I wonder if a piece of wool would...

    Goat Milk Lard Soap question with pics

    What kind of lard are you using? I have used beef, pork, and goose tallow and never had these problems. After several years of not soaping I am getting ready to start again, thank heavens! All of my soaps were made with fresh goat's milk so it has been interesting to read about the several...

    Poodle Soap Bar - Does this sound OK?

    I used to have two minipoo's that were shown, let me go look at the shampoo I used on them and their conditioner (Isle of Dog) and I now use on my CC'ed. Your's looks great for conditioning but you also need to remember their coats collect a lot of dust and debris in that month in-between...
