RobinInOR Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Yay, it's Friday! Of course it's been nice and cool all week, and supposed to be back to 95F tomorrow. So I'll be cooking on pavement for market.Sunday it's going to be lip balms. And more lip balms. And more lip balms. I've got 4 left - they wiped me out at the fair last weekend. Guess I need to increase batch size - now I do 44 at a time. Plum apricot, lemongrass/coconut, cuke melon, and marionberry. And more bubble bath - also am developing a foot fizzy w/ peppermint/tea tree - first batch was horrible, way too oily. Felt good though!What scents are up with you this weekend? Good luck at any fairs or markets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Whoops! I was posting a similar thread the same time as you! Too funny ... OK, Robin, I'm cutting and pasting my answer from the other thread. You can delete my old thread now!I have lots of goodies to make this weekend. Need to pour CLV and Creme Brulee candles. Might as well get a head start on my fall scents too, eh? Better get going on Pumpkin Spice because the minute the weather turns cool, everyone and his dog wants that one. Including ME. In soaps, I need to restock Honey Almond soap, plus I'm getting low on Pink Sugar, Enchanted Oak, and Orange-Patchouli eo soaps. Also want to make a batch of DSM soap w/ tea tree, rosemary & lavender eo's for my teenagers, plus make a test batch of Hawaiian Lei Flowers. I really do need to make more FLORAL soaps! I don't offer many. Well, I offer enough for MY taste, just not for the general public's. Want to make my fall soaps too ... if I don't make my traditional Pumpkin Spice soap bars, I'll be tarred and feathered by the faithful locals who buy it at our historical festival in October every year. I also do an Apple Spice soap for fall, so I need to get on my rear in gear on those two! I think every soap mold I own will be full this weekend. Well, hopefully anyway. We've got a lot on our social calendar as well!Need to make whipped shea butters in a bad way. Customers at market will buy it, but I just don't bring it when the weather's too hot to melt it. Too much hassle. So I haven't brought it in a while because our summer's been unusually hot. Oh, and I want to make a batch of the raspberry-peach lip balm with a new TDF flavor oil I got! It ROCKS!!OK, there's my "to do" list, and I know it's HUGE ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accents Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I have to take inventory so I know what to make. Haven't been making much this summer, but I need to stock up on votives and pour some fall scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Wow AJ, sounds like you are going to be busy busy!! Tomorrow I wont be making anything. We are finally going to go pick up my brothers car that we have had at my cousins house. It's been sitting there for 3.5 years now since my brother passed away. It's his b-day tomorrow so I doubt I'm going to be in the mood to pour anything. I'll most likely be with my parents all day anyway. They always have a rough time on that day. Sunday however, I will be making up a bunch of gift baskets with various items in them and I also need to work on some lotions. I've only got 3 bottles left and I got a call this morning for 2 of them. That's about it for me this weekend. Next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'm doing a steam show this weekend and the sales are okay. Will be ordering from Peaks again after I get home and take the inventory of my stock to see what all has to be repoured. I know I'm out of Amish Harvest and Apple Pie. Sold 7 Amish Harvest today at the show! Need to buy jars and put it into high gear for the fall festivals coming up in early October! I returned to work full time earlier this week so that's great after being laid off for nearly a year!!~ Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 My goodness!! I did a rare thing. I got a small batch of soap made LOL! Will see how it holds up through the process. Pretty sure I like the colors, but ended up doing a smaller batch than I wanted so this could be mighty ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlewitch Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Bat wings and frog legs with spiders will be in the pot. Poured 8 eco adv candles in frosted glass to see how it holds up to frosting, clear is easier, frosted is harder, never seems to adhere, well in soy... Soy far, 8 hours, pretty perfect... Vanilla and Mac are weak, lets see if it cures, the other 6 seem ok, but they are at a high %, so I would assume you need 30% more FO with this garbage.
