Jcandleattic Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) This weekend I am making my son's girlfriend some candles, and also making up a bunch of candles for my show next weekend. My pour pot will consist of container candles, palm containers, palm pillars, and maybe just for fun, some regular paraffin pillars. I do need to clean my lab, and do up my last soaping dishes (which have literally been sitting there since mid October! LOL) before I start my pour-fest, but that shouldn't take long. Nothing too exciting for me. No soap because I still have to masterbatch, and I just do not want to do that. I *might* make some bath bombs, but eh, IDK - really depends how I feel once the candles are done. What is everyone else doing? (even if it's not candle related, you can still post - I love hearing what everyone's plans are!)

Sarah S Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 That sounds like a lot of pouring! I am going to pour some mason jars in Filmore's Lemon Biscotti now that I'm done testing it. My daughter has already claimed one, lol. Hopefully I can crank out some more Cracklin Birch and Christmas Splendour too. My melting pot is very small, so I have to break up my batches. Meanwhile I have a Creme Brûlée from Filmore to test burn, and OH MY GOSH, I poured CW's Mohagony Spice last night and I can't wait to burn it!!! It smells soooo good! And maybe I'll get around to cutting that CP soap I said I was going to cut on Sunday. 😂 I have a small small craft show next weekend as well (I am still very small potatoes, lol), so I should probably check to make sure I have enough body butter and stuff like that too. whew! And I have to work my real job. Maybe I should start working on all that now. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote My melting pot is very small, so I have to break up my batches. I only have my prestos, but will only be using 2 of them, and usually only pour 1-2 lbs at a time. it's my zen though, so I don't care that it takes a long time to do it.

bfroberts Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I'm working on Christmas gifts for friends, family, a few customers. For the soap part of the gifts, I'm doing a 3 bar soap set this year in a floral theme. One bar each - Gardenia, Gypsy Rose, and Lavender. I'm trying to find a rectangular box for the set and figure out how to package the set, so just playing around with ideas. Gotta make some room sprays - stat. I just realized we are down to only 2 (total) on the shelf. How the heck did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
