I MADE SOAP!! TA-DA!! My intention was to make Spring Clean soap which I've been craving. However, my inventory was working against me. I not only ran out of lye but also rosemary. Darn it! As luck would have it, I stumbled upon my homey's, @Tara_H , entry in this month's challenge. She was a peach and shared her eo blend recipe. I needed 17 grams of rosemary and what did I have?! 17 grams! Hurray! Everything is tucked in and gellin' for the night.
Cut my Rose soap. Had to cut them thinner than I would have liked because muggins here didn’t think to measure where to put the roses. I usually get 11 bars out of this mold, but this time I got 12 (one with no rose because I only made 11!)

I like the rosemary mint and it doesn't look like concrete!Today I made another batch of rice soap (thank you @Dawni ) as requested by a friend who just loved it. It turned out better than Wednesday's rosemary mint that looks like concrete!View attachment 58907
LOL - @TashaBird - I just read the headline on the newspaper in your middle photo!Soapsquatch?!
He had a hole in his crotch down the length of the loaf. I took some pieces of end slices and speckled as I cut. It would have been MUCH worse if I hadn’t had the hubs help me by using the pipette under the arms.
He does like to try and blend in.@TashaBird - I thought that embed looked like sasquatch when you posted it earlier but I didn't say anything because I thought I may have been seeing things and didn't want to be rude...
But what a lovely sasquatch he is!
I wondered if anyone would catch that. It’s hilarious!
Thank you - I'm sure they will.
Thinking of all of you in the NW. My daughter is north of Seattle.
Thank you... it's HOT!!
pur-tee!!
Clearly it was meant to be! I hope you enjoy it now

Confetti soap seems to be The Hot **** right now, and I don't want to miss the party!
Turns out that 4 parts of new soap batter per 7 parts of diced up solid soap is just enough to barely cover up everything, after some (more or less gentle) tapping/rattling. Super excited how this comes out!
I had planned this anyway to make something out of my heap of indigo survey cubes. More on this over there when it's due time for unmoulding.

Ohh, these lovely glycerin rivers!
In semi-soapy news, my alkanet plants have started germinating
It's been galling me to buy the dried powdered form online when we have the perfect growing conditions here (and a dehydrator and spice grinder, because I clearly have a gadget problem).
I'm hoping it will naturalize in our garden over time and I'll have a ready source of natural purple dye

Do chicken love to eat alkanet foliage?

Let's hope not 
Probably, they love to eat everything! Fortunately they have a dedicated enclosure, to protect them from foxes and to protect the garden from them.

On vacation at Hershey Park and the thought of using hotel soap was too much to bare so I brought a bar from home!!
