I did a non weird, non soap challenge soap lol. Simple white and yellow itp swirl with White Tea and Pear from Nurture. I did more yellow than i should have, so it might be yellow and white instead of white and yellow lol. It smells juicy though, so either way is ok. Wish i could have done two loaves at once, but i dont have a big enough soaping container, and i needed to do something easy without all the math after this challenge lol.
Someone said something about velcro to keep your mold from bowing, sorry i cannot remember who it was. I dont have velcro, so i started tying lengths of yarn instead. Pita, but it works. I hate trying to trim the edges to make it even.
Trying to get this all in one msg lol
ummmm....i was at work today, and all the nurses that i had previously given soap to for Nurses Week are super excited and love my soap. All lard soap. Even one smelly fragrance that i hated lol. One girl said to give up my day job
.
The biggest proudest moment was that they were talking about how great the SOAP was, not just the fragrance or deco.
One of the guy nurses asked if i could make a soap that smells like zest. Im like yeah (i hate zest lol) but lime cilantro from elements smells like that.... He said that his wife loves the coconut soap i gave him, and she wants more of that, and he wants the zest smelly soap. He wanted to know if there is a sign-up sheet somewhere LOL
I inquired a while back at a green market, asking if they had soap makers out of curiosity. This lady emailed me yesterday asking if i could come sell soap. But the funny thing....she said i needed a 10x10 tent. I get that part with the size. I said all i had right now is a 12x12 tent. She got all annoyed and said it had to be 10x10 with sandbags, and a lot of blah blah annoyed stuff about the 12x12 lol. I get it, just saying thats all i had. YOU called ME lol. I told her i would get back to her when i got the right size.
And im not sure about what to do with sandbags lol. I know, hold down the tent...but where do you put them? The tent i have (12x12 one lol) nails into the grass. Where do you get sandbags? My biggest problem with this venue, is that i gave away a lot of soap for nurses week. I have a lot of soap to sell, but not enough to make a nice display, if that makes sense. Plus if i were to happen to sell all of them soaps, i dont have back ups to do another market. I just counted, i have about 75 sellable soaps (I have a lot more, but not sellable based on size etc, imo). I have a lot more curing, but thats all i have right now that are ready to go. Gonna have to pass I think. I know, i am giving myself a lot of credit on how many i could sell, but i never want to look like i am running out.
