Thanks, powderpink! It only took my husband about two years to get around to it. Plus, trying to put my dad on the task while he was visiting this summer accelerated the production (didn't even plan it that way!). So, best of luck to you!

Over the weekend, my husband finished making a soap cutter for me. I've been cutting soap all week. I've also been making more of it...because I can cut it by myself now! I'm starting to really get stocked up for holiday shows.

This is more of a "soapy thing I did this week". Summer was busy and I figured I should pop in on the forum a little bit :) I came home from work last night and my hubs had started making me a soap cutter! I was so excited...he had underestimated my appreciation for such a gesture. I know you...

Yesterday, I made my first three-color swirl soap. I've made plenty of two-color batches, but a regular customer suggested a mash-up of two of my bars. And I did ALL the soap dishes when I was finished! Also, I wasn't planning on unmolding yet, but this morning they came out of the molds like a...

Ha ha! I never thought of it as a tongue twister before! :) Smudge sticks are like incense that people use to air out their house and/or clear out the bad vibes when they get a new house.

I haven't done any soapy things today, but I've been so busy doing soapy things that I haven't posted on the forum in a few weeks! I've been alternating two different markets on Sundays, trying to keep up popular soap stock, made a bunch of sagebrush smudge sticks (because people kept asking for...

Following! People suggest this to me every once in a while but wouldn't be something I could host until we moved to a bigger house. It would be great for letting people wash their hands with the soaps, as this is not feasible at markets or craft shows. Some appetizers and cheap wine (think...

We don't have much space for growing plants, but I'm currently growing a couple sage plants that I'll eventually start using for soaping when they're producing enough. When I use sage I either harvest wild sagebrush or buy the organic fresh sage at our local grocery store. I dry it then grind...

Made a double batch today, made a double batch yesterday. Organized labels and such to wrap a finished double batch tomorrow. Washed the dishes and cleaned up after myself.

Oh, for sure! I have developed a theory over the last 24 hours that if everyone on the forum knew that making fudge was like making soap except you could eat that soap, half the people would switch over to making fudge. The other half of us would realize that we don't need that much fudge in...

Just don't accidentally stop into a soap shop instead!

Right?! No fudge that I'd wanna eat! There's clearly a beer soap in there, one with charcoal swirls on the top, they did a great job with paprika-infused oil on that bottom one.

I know we've all done this. You're looking at something: in the store, a picture online, etc. It's CLEARly soap. Oh, wait...nope...not soap at all. Here's mine for the day. It's fudge. Yep, fricking fudge.

I've dubbed this week my official soap week. Hubs knows I'm not worrying about cooking (too much). It's on, soap! Made a double batch of salt bars and a double batch of shampoo bars. De-beaned a bunch of vanilla beans for scrubs. Cut two previous double batches.

"Chocolate and White Puppy" Now this is a new FO I've not heard of! I'm not sure about the combo of the chocolate with the white puppy. It has AMAZING reviews, though.

Those are gorgeous! Great work!

I can't believe it only lasted one season either. It was aired before its time...so sad. Key and Peele is one of those shows that we re-watch quite a bit too. I think they have a movie coming out soon as well.

Made a double batch of salt bars...and cut before bedtime! #winning

I always have a short mental list I go through in my head to make sure I haven't forgotten major things: canopy, tables, tablecloths, displays, card reader, soap! I do weekly markets so there are items I make sure I'm stocked up on (keeping a running list and writing things down is a...
