chappyk Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The message board has been to quite this weekend. What is/has everyone been up to? I am still waiting on my first supplies ( more of ) so haven't done any work with candles yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyv Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm testing a few candles today. So far so good with one and not so good with the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolcibugie Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Today I have been making fruit embeds all day long... a friend of mine asked me for 56 fruit pastry candles and I make the embeds by hand, using mouldable wax (that's the result https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/418308_316978995004556_991084327_n.jpg)... it's a lot of work, I'm tired and my hands hurt a bit... but I'm sure my friend will be satisfied!

justajesuschick Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Your fruit tarts and embeds are beautiful!I made melts for a number of weekends and everything is still curing. It is all part of testing so until I make some decisions I do not want to make more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithfulScenter Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm usually not on here on the weekends, but I'm stuck on the couch with the sick, again, so I'm shopping, chatting, and planning our girls trip in May to the Amish Country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tam1116 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Love the amish country, lots of places to shop. Check out Fillmore Containers while you are there. They have jars, wax, and FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) I'm going to Ohio instead of PA, and I've already mapped all supplier in OH, they are all too far out of the way ETA: I do believe Fillmore is going to be my new supplier for my jars though!

Whisper Girl Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 This weekend we worked to get an order ready for one of our wholesale accounts. It is all poured, labeled, boxed and ready to ship out!!! Now to set back and relax!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have been sitting here staring (litterly) at the 100+ sample bottles I have of FO and wondering how I am ever going to test them all and IF I do what the heck am I going to do if I like them- I have waaaaay to many scents going on as it is...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Test burning new mason jars and trying to control my fragrance addiction. Neither is working out too well. LOL I hate testing new jars, I should always go with what I know. If it's not broken, don't fix it. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I went and visited my FO supply earlier. I'm home alone and rather bored. So I went and starting smelling everything, it all smelled wonky. Then this voice in my head says "Your sick dummy, now go back to the couch".... so here I am.....

denetteb Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I made a handful of tester melts to test FOs to see if they make it to the "candle" list. The FOs I poured were:AHRE Chocolate Layer CakeMW Sugar Cookie RoyalICS Bear ClawsICS Camel Sticky BunsICS Cinnamon Buns (classic)ICS Cinnamon Buns (ICS)ICS Cinnamon DonutsThis was a good weekend to pour testers because I am on the tail end of a nasty cold and my nose is still stuffy, but since it is still stuffy, I can't test them yet.

justajesuschick Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Oh. I did buy/order more FO's so I guess that is something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redraider Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 We have been shut down since Christmas and are still shut down. Waiting on my new 200lb wax melter to come in and we are building our new shop. Kinda getting ancy. Ready to get new shop completed and moved in so we can start making product again. So excited though because we are going to have double the space as before and I will be able to work on candles during the weekdays when I am caught up at my real job and not have to haul everything home to the barn and only work on nights and weekends.
