RobinInOR Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Rain for me. And another market - they called me yesterday wondering if I could fill in again. The town is having a garage sale weekend, so even though some of their vendors won't be there, they promised "buzz". We'll see I think they just want my $15. At least the rain cut the 90F weather we've been having all week! And I'm simplifying - not going to take the bubble balls, just soap, lip balms, face scrub. Got some new shelves to test out.Then I think I'll have a lavender weekend - lavender mint, plain lavender FO, more lavender bubble balls.What's up in your neck of the woods?

heather_dw Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 My jars are coming UPS today (that poor UPS man! Between my wax and these jars..) I am going to be making stuff to gear up for my 4th of July show. Probably strawberry Jam, grandma's kitchen, honeysuckle, blueberry muffin, some melts and if I get time, I need to do a few batches of CPOP (cucumber melon and maybe Lilac)I hadn't made candles for weeks prior to my move to a new apt and my stock was really low (about 2 cases of candles) At the rate I am going now, I will need to order wax again!:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 More testing on my 8 oz. square masons. I'm determined to get several scents perfected in these so I can start adding them to my product line soon. They're SO cute! Testing is tedious, but my house sure smells great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1_AJ Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'm playing catch-up on restocking my basic soap line. Got a large order last week that doggone nearly cleaned me out on several scents. LOL So I just wrapped batches of CLV and Ripe Mango; next up today is Spice Islands and Papaya Ginger. I hope to play with my Lavender Chamomile fragrance in soap this weekend as well as a new patch eo blend, and also need to make some men's cologne scents in soap because I've gotten requests from farmer's market customers. I'd also LOVE to test an apple-ginger blend in soap, but there's probably no way I'll have time. I'm such a sucker for ginger blends. Need to get more gardener's soap made too -- all out!Candles? Need to pour soy in Blackberry Sage, Clean Cotton, Coconut Milk & Peaches and Country Gift Shop. In paraffin I need Fresh Peach, Cherry-Coconut, Enchanted Oak, Creme Brulee, Peanut Butter Cookies, and Sandalwood Vanilla. Customers, please take note and don't order those from me this week. ROFL I need to check my in-stock tarts too -- I think I need to pour a few scents in those. Just tested a new scent in soy tarts for a swap and it worked great, so I'll probably test this one at market and see how it flies with the customers. This will be a busy weekend for me, as usual -- farmer's market tomorrow unless it rains.OK, I just got tired from reading all the things I have to do -- better go take a nap and contemplate my options.

candlesprite7 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'm practicing my layers...I really suck at them and need to get better...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I am participating in two swaps and need to pour my votives for each one. I haven't even decided what scent to do yet, so that's first on my list. I'm also testing some JS 50/50 testers that I poured last week and so far that's going well. I also got a sample of SoyPro and want to pour some testers in that this weekend. I also have two orders to finish pouring, packaging and box up.

FuzzyCandleMaker Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I may offically give up on 100% soy, for now. I really like GL 70/30 and I just bought a slab of AWE 50/50. I have tons of testing to do. My wallet really hopes I find a wax I'm happy with soon. :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaD Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Tomorrow is my youngest son's second birthday party. His birthday was Wednesday. So, I will be making the cake and decorating that. I am doing a Nemo cake. Tonight I have an hour and a half meeting for Work, and if I could get over this hideous cold, I would love to make some candles, but David won't let me do anything.

Shisha Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm making incense, body oils and sachet bags for sale at a festival on Sunday as well as making more tester candles. I'm getting a little crazy now that I've started this whole wax thang. I can't look at any kind of container now without thinking that it would make a great candle jar. And everyone I mention candles to begs me to be a "tester". It cracks me up because a number of my friends and family are bath-and-body-works-ho's who refuse to even try my handmade soap (which I've been making and selling for 3 years now, very successfully). However they are happy to grab any crappy old candle I make, even if it's totally unsafe (being so new at this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Making Orchid Magnolia Lotion Bars for the GL swap...not much time for anything else except burning some testers and enjoying the scents....can't think of a better way to spend my Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I made a cinnamon bun candle for a co-workers bday. I made a mulberry candle for my little experiment (http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?p=217671#post217671) I plan on making citronlla candles one of these days, some time soon. I also hope to get the energy to do some bath bombs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
