RobinInOR Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I've *got* to force myself to stay inside and work - all these stories about great fairs is unnerving - my stock is adequate but not where it should be.So, I'll push for 8 log batches and 4 slab batches this weekend. Which means I'll probably do 1/2 of that Lemongrass that I haven't done in the last 2 weekends, orange and clove, lavender, rose, patchouli, a batch of each of my tooth soaps (out of spicy orange/clove), more lavender, rose, cranberryWhat scents are you all working on? We're having "Indian Summer" - 80F days, 32F nights. Hope your weekend goes well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Oh this is a making weekend for when I'm home. Have to work most of Saturday (major cry!) But I have some BSM in the pot, BRV and I have to make leather and PS before I can even get to what I want to try lol! Have a show going on over the weekend, but I'm not helping in it. My fingers are crossed though that it's a good one. I'm praying for no snow lol, but I think the threat has passed.Oh and promised to make a certain kind of soap!! Can't have three people after me for being lazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1_AJ Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I'm pouring a couple more tester jar candles (poured 3 last night) and then need to get tarts, tarts, tarts poured. Going to try a few new fun scents, hopefully, plus restock the tarts I'm low on due to the show I just did.Then I need to make a big ol' honking batch of shaving soap. I'm down to just a few bars! (EEK!)I've *got* to force myself to stay inside and work - all these stories about great fairs is unnerving - my stock is adequate but not where it should be.Sorry. I'm partially responsible for that problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildangel112 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Trying to get my stock up for an upcoming show and filling orders. The way they're starting to come in you'd swear Christmas was tomorrow . My shop is a major disaster area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I'm gonna be doing a little bit of everything once my weekend finally gets here (this week that will be Tuesday! lol) But I did a home party last weekend so I have to restock what sold there (which was pretty much everything I took), and also make up a ton of orders I got from there, such as: melts, votives, pillars and a ton of my cinammon bun candles and some everlasting candles (basically every type of candle I make including some carvings) plus I have to make up 4 seperate batches of soap for some of the orders as well. Luckily they wont be expecting the soap until mid Nov. but I still have to MAKE IT so it has that time to cure!! lol So yeah when Tuesday gets here it's busy time for me. Plus I have a show on the 4th that I have to stock up on now also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle at WW Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I spent last weekend doing tart samples for a fundraiser. Dropping the stuff off tomorrow. So, this weekend, it's all fun for me. Might try making some raspberry shaped & scented chunks and make pillars with chocolate overpour. I'll call them raspberry truffle.Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I have a small show to do Sunday; about 6 hours. But I'm out or low on everything so I've been pouring like crazy during the week! Amish HarvestWhite tea & GingerApple pieConcord Grape I have some bills to catch up as well as some new craft paper labels to order for my candles and clamshells.I have to buy a TV~DVD at WalMart too. I have scents coming in next week so I'll have to get started on pouring those as well. These are mostly what sold out at the show so I'm going bonkers trying to reorder all of my scents again!I have five large shows to get ready for. I've shown at all of them and the customers are clamering for my return!But I'm going to try and get to bed early tonight before loading the truck for the weekend show. It will be small but I bet it will be very busy for me! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Fire:wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
