  1. a substitute for olive oil in CP soap? Would canola oil be suitable or not? TIA, Connie
  2. You're very welcome and thank you. Glad someone else could enjoy those nice patterns. I started one -heaven only knows if it will get finished. I have so many irons in the fire the fire almost out!! LOL. But hey, life is short so I like to try lots of different things.
  3. Thank You so much Carol. I plan to try the soap too. Looks yummy. Have you made the wash cloth? I searched all week end & didn't find that one but did find dishcloth botique that has loads of pretty free patterns if anyone is interested. Connie
  4. I'm anxiously awaiting this answer also. Made first soap today. Have been perusing all the soap dyes etc. and have been kind of confused as to the best way to color CP & HP soap. Like I need to spend more money on supplies ya know!! Hubby finally got me moved to the basement last week-got a big room all to myself and he made me a work bench and shelves all along one wall- about 16 feet of work bench. I'm in chandler/soaper heaven!! And we have a kitchen again. Connie
  5. You know this isn't soap but as weird as this sounds plain yogurt smeared on the burn will help. Or as I had to do last time scoop the yogurt off the top of the fruit. LOL. Hubby smelled kinda fruity that night!! Anyway it seems to take the heat out of the sunburn. Hope you feel better. Connie
  6. If it is a masterpiece! LOL. Yeah, I think I would have to say this is more fun although way back when I would have considered this a "cheater soap". No doubt it will smell better. At least I hope so. Didn't fragrance in the old days so it really had no smell at all. The mango seems fairly weak so I hope it perks up with time.
  7. Took the plunge and made my first CP soap in years! Used to do the Red Devil, render your own tallow recipe 20 years ago before all the fragrances & good stuff. Been procrastinating thinking it looks hard to do it with everyone talking about FO's making the soap seize up. Beginners luck was with me. Used a very basic coconut, crisco, olive oil base recipe and added S C mango FO and paprika for color, it mixed super. Nice and creamy right in the molds. Now if it only comes out something like a decent soap. Good thing I work tomorrow or I would be itching to cut and try it. Connie
  8. I saw the pretty mango soap and flower washcloth on the Ponte Vedre Soap Site and have emailed twice for the washcloth pattern. I never get a response. Wondering if anyone on here ever got it and might be able to email it to me? Would really appreciate it. Connie
  9. Definitely not cheap to get into candle making. LOL. Thousands spent in last few months. Fragrances are addicting!!

  11. Wow, Beautiful also. Are these considered layered candles? Just love your work!
  12. Those are beautiful. How in the heck do you make a candle like that? Just love them!!
  13. Wow, Am I glad to be back ( I used to be coogs). I've missed everyone!! Decided to update my name for the spanking new board. While we were down hubby made me a super huge new candle/soap working bench. I'm so excited. We have a kitchen again. Now to get all my stuff moved & organized & get started! Unfortunately I have to go to work tomorrow, bah humbug!! Connie
  14. Anita, How neat! Where did you find the deer molds? I love these. Connie
