RobinInOR Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Rain I expect for a lot of you - stay dry you guys...Working on the whipped shea I *didn't* do last week. OMH and Almond. And I just got into another fair for the 17th - a juried one that's mostly art, but I was able to sneak in anyway. So doing a lot of labeling - that makes a fair 2 weekends in a row. Then getting ready for work Monday! Excited/scared... What's up with you guys? Any new scents on the horizon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrealh1975 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 No new scents for me, but I'm working on a little of everything...tealights, votives, jars...I have 3 orders to do and the rest is just restocking. And hopefully getting some good pics outside so I can make some updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashncandles Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'll be practicing with paraffin tonight and tomorrow. I started out with soy, last night has a rather unsuccessful evening with the paraffin. Practice practice for me. Oh- and getting ready for my boyfriends surprise birthday party for when he comes home Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'm all stocked up on candles, but I need to pour tarts. Then I plan to make a nearly-castile soap and Black Raspberry and Clean for summer soaps. Need to restock citrus-ginger lotion bars too, and maybe make some coconut or vanilla lip butters.

Alajane Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Oh, my candle stock is very low on about 20 scents! I hope to get a little of that restocking poured this weekend, along with hopefully finishing a fundraiser order. I had planned to do most of that order on my holiday last Monday but DH kept me busy all day sanding and staining a door--we worked on it for 10 hours and after that my poor feet have been swollen the rest of the week and I just haven't felt like pouring any night this week after work.I'd love to also play with some of the MP soap I've bought and not worked with, so I'll know what I need to re-order from the co-op that's currently running.

Hibiscus Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Name it an it's either in a pot, bowl or microwave. More tea lights and containers. Also a few pillars(gave up on soy pillars) trying paraffin or a beeswax paraffin mix. Also, I think I might try some cp soap. My flowers are almost all in bloom except the Hibiscus and so I will be pressing more roses and foliage. I'm struggling with the clematis but I think I will master those babies...they are sooo breathtaking..gotta get it right because my canes are I got a new supply of fragrances a few days ago and I will be trying those in tarts:drool: I'm a little anxious waiting for supplies of wax and containers/bottles and such but I'll make it through the weekend..lol my neighbors flowers are starting to whisper to me at night...might have to beg some of them to let me cut few.....Have a Creative Weekend Everyone!Hibiscus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shisha Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I am going to be BUSY!! I have my biggest festival of the year next weekend and I have dozens of incense bundles soaking and drying around the house. Ditto with incense cones. My stock of body oils needs to be increased so I'll be bottling and labeling + I need to re-do my signage & make a price list! AAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!! (just kidding)I love doing festivals but it is a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I have MAJOR restocking to do on ALL my scents for an upcoming 5 day show next month!

lauren8479 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Well I have to take my bay to the dr today for excessive diarreah (yuck!). He's not sick and I thought it was due to teething but not this much. Fun...LOL Then once Jackson goes to bed I hope to try my hand at some pillars for the first time. Anyway, tomorrow we are taking the boat out for some huge bash on the lake so I guess I get to work on my tan! Yay! Then Sun, I will clean bathrooms and pour some more candles. I'm not having the best luck yet but I am such a beginner so all I can do is practice. Hope you all enjoy your weekend and are able to catch up on restocking or practicing! :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandNewToCandles Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I just did some bavarian thin mint jars (posting them shortly) and I made the wax embed for my pink ribbon candle, which I am going to pour tonight or tomorrow. I would also like to try some of the butterscotch vanilla cream I just got over the weekend. Still testing jars for wicking and pouring a ton of oils to see what I like best.Birthday party with Skye tomorrow, then some shopping, then we're going to see a movie together tomorrow evening. Mommy works all week so Sat and Sun are all about Skye!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
