this and that

[Milla]

I haven't been working on much. My husband was on vacation forever this summer (unpaid....so can you really call it vacation??). I love having him home, but don't get to soap much. Here's what I've been up to lately.

My favorite...plumeria colored with LabColors fuchsia.

Rebatched Shampoo Bars - done in the microwave with milk
Orange: fruit heaven
green: lime
pink: pineapple
blue: coolwater
multicolor: all of the above!

Salt Bars (left is black cherry and right is passionate purple)
Both overheated

HP soap with wine added and scented with woodlands.
Stupid me was supposed to add wine AFTER the cook, not BEFORE!!
Hence the BROWN!

Beer soap scented with Jamaican Bay Rum (HP due to seize).

Just realized my old recipe box makes a neat mold!
I got this 13 years ago when I got married! I used to write recipes on note cards. Those were the days.

I'm trying to focus on a few recipes this week so I don't have any more seizes!!!

My favorite too! plumeria colored with LabColors fuchsia.

The wine soap still looks "wine" to me.

CP recipe worked out .... HP here I come!

Thanks! There's just something about pink soap!

I think I'm going to try the mold tonight. I'm out of so many supplies suddenly so I have to head out and get some oils.

I moved my soaping to downstairs. I had a craft area set up for me, but only used it to make jewelry. It's so close to the utility sink. I can't believe I haven't been using it! I don't have to totally clean up either and my upstairs stays CLEAN!

Cool! Finally a keeper! I also discovered plumeria from Heaven Scent in the right amount is a very, very pretty fragrance. Can't remember if I used .7 or .8 ppo, but it also behaves very well.
