RobinInOR Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hope everyone is nice and busy. Good luck for anyone starting spring shows, brrrr! Anyone doing St Patricks Day?This weekend will be testing something new, oil candles. Got my set of test wicks so I'll be playing with those. Found a wholesale silk floral place in town, so maybe I'll run by there and see what I can find for decorations..And testing bath oils with some new emulsifiers. So 2 baths/day Have a great St Paddy day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Spring shows started last weekend and the one this weekend was cancelled. All I know is there will be wax in the pots and I do want to make another batch of soap with a different recipe (if I can find it) and using colors AnitaG sent me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giedre11 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Well, my pourette molds have not yet made it in, so wanted to try those again. I just love the different shapes, but had some trouble with leaking. They are just too cute to pass up! I will be using cookie cutters to cut out wax shapes to put on my square pillars. I also need to make a batch of soap, as one person at work has fallen in love with it and asks for it regularly. I hated to tell her what the cure time is...I only do cold process at this time.

Grannyscandles Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Well so far this weekend I made 2 3 pound batches of soap. The first was scented with KY's Summer Breeze,..a very soapy scent and swirled with Green Moss. The second is still in the mold but is peppermint (white) with a blue swirl.I also made a small batch of cream soap, my first. That was fun! It is bottled now. Lavender eo added.I just mixed a batch of Olive oil and Mango Lotion. Can you believe I was completely out of lotion?I am also test burning my new metro jars...they are so darn cute!
