Right in the middle of doing a CP...my scale died and when I say died I mean ready for the garbage can. Now Ive got all these oils all measured out and cant even re-do my lye water.:mad:

Here is a shot in the dark...How old is the lye?

I didnt even see this Michelle. I dont even know. OMG! Let me go check.

Ummm It says to use between 8 and 12 oz.

Im using 9 but 3 of that is milk slurry. Should I up the water again?

Ok that didnt work either damnit. Im mad cuz I need to make some darned soap. Why would it not dissolve?

They look nice. I am working up the courage to do this next week.

NM I figured it out. My water and my lye are too cold.

I have tried to make soap 2 days in a row and my lye has not dissolved all the way both times.I have not changed any conditions except now I do water discount but other that nada. I see little white flakes in my water. I am using one of those rubbermaid pictures. Could it be eating away at the plastic? Im at a loss

Does that help it cure any faster?

Is there anyway that you can do a CP soap and have it cure faster? Can you like put it in the oven and help it along?

Oh I did not need to see that. Milk baths and bath salts!!!

LOL I added a couple of pictures.

Heee!!! Im gonna try adding it in after trace next time. I lost my courage last night. It is like a powder basically.

Thanks. I have some shimmer dust from here:

I dont think these will work in CP so I just sprinkled it on top.

I haven't tried Select Shades yet. I think I am going to wait until the fallout from recent troubles others seem to have had is over.

Is the red still changing colors? I'd be interested in hearing about what color the soap finally decides it wants to be.

Your neighbor has the right idea. Hey, no fair, you've already started your Christmas shopping. Bah humbug (I think that's how you spell it), it seems like Christmas comes earlier every year.

No the red is not changing. The rest is turning brown. I just dont like the red,LOL!

Thanks TLC!!!

Do you add it to your cp? When and how much? I think I wanna try adding it at trace so that there is glitter through out.

It was my Select Shades( I sent some samples off to work with my mother to get them tested. They were fine). My neighbor was like give them to family for Xmas so I said hey sure!

I dont mind the brown but I wanted a pink top lol

Yesterday I made Pink Sugar CP and I colored the top layer with what was supposed to be pink and well its not pink. *weeps* Its X-mas Red and turning brown. UGH!

Very nice!

THANK YOU!

Anyone know of one. Making some things for my neices for Xmas!

Congrats! Your baby is adorable!!!

I like it!!!!

I know To Die For does but they are out of stock right now.
