Aiiieee, the buttermilk-carrot-honey bastile batch is still in the mold from last night. It's not ready to come out yet, but it's a nice creamy pale orange so far. On top of that anticipation and impatience, I just poured another batch into the mold and I'm really excited to see how it comes out. The newest batch is scented with the Neroli Blossom FO from Tradewinds, and I adore orange blossoms, so mmmm. The coloring will either turn out neat or extremely homely, but it's my most ambitious attempt to date. The bottom is a solid orange color, then the top layer should be a subtle marbled/swirled layer of two paler shades of the same orange. I say "should" because I still have trouble leaving well enough alone with the swirling, and tend to fuss with it too much. I'm hoping it's more marbled than swirly, but we shall see.
Besides waiting for the soaps, there's the waiting for supplies, I just ordered a beveler/planer from Kangaroo Blue last night, and had to pick up a couple of other things to make the shipping seem more justified.
The beveler is sort of a frivolous thing for me since I'm not selling any of the soaps, but I want to pretty them up even if my husband, my parents, my kiddo, and I are the only ones who ever use them.
Isn't it sort of like pre-Christmas or pre-birthday waiting when you were a kid? You know there's something cool in the works, you just can't have it yet!
