sidetracked #2

While waiting for my sugar cubes to stiffen up a bit, I had it in my head to do something about all my soap scraps! Those slivers really add up after awhile.

So I created my Odd Ballz, hubby said it looks like a weird geode, my eldest said it looked like a food pod and what exactly did I have in there? Now that was funny as he got his nose right over them, still not convinced that it wasn't some odd looking food! Of course me being me, didn't want to do the usual soap balls so I get this idea to wrap my pre cooled ball with another layer of soap, really funky looking eh?


I'm itching to roll a bright yellow center with perhaps a green outer layer, now wouldn't that be something?!!

heh, well that previous post of mine about making soaps for the upcoming craft show? Ummmm.... well that didn't happen. I ended up on the soap queen's page and saw these cute sugar bath cubes! And I thought to myself, hey I've not tried those before, needless to say the first one wasn't too good (I hate wasting product) and crumbled into many, many pieces as I cut though it. However the others I did went perfectly! Sybrina and I of course had to test it at the kitchen sink, and we're pleased to say it certainly exfoliates well, my arms were tingling for awhile and the oils absorbed almost as soon as I was done drying! Syb thought it was too cool. The peach color is much prettier than the muted pic above my stove top and this is before I popped them out of the mold. Yummy Magnolia.
I'll really have to work to get them out before the show though, the good thing is it's really easy to do, you just have to be super quick after the sugar gets poured in!

The Fun is Over!

LOL, well I'm back into the swing of soap making after taking close to a week off from getting back from vacation! It was weird really, my schedule was so off from having too much fun I suppose that I pretty much sat around like a slug last week! Today I'm raring to go, I've got a few soap calls to make, orders to fill and a craft show to get ready for next week....YIKES, next week?!! Have I said how much I love my job?? I DO!! I've got all my soap equipment ready, my fragrance oils and essential oils all set out and I'm done talking!
