LovelyLathers Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Saturday I have my first show of the year. It's a fundraiser for the Relay for Life Cancer Program. I am looking forward to doing it even if I don't sell much. It is a great cause. The weather here is suppose to be very rainy (about 3 to 4 inches) and windy. Good thing it's indoors. Sunday I am going to do some whipped soap and hopefully I will take a stab at liquid soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Well, tomorrow I am hoping to make some shaving soap scented lavender. I have a request for it. Then I am thinking that I am going to start my list of oils I want to order for my spring/summer soaps. I might even make some pillars for myself and I want to finish some of my knitting I started.But I guess I don't really have a lot planned.

TexasBrat Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I might try to make some salt soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I need to make a 30 pound masterbatch of my soap so I can start soaping again next week. I haven't been selling much, so I haven't been motivated to make anymore! I also need to clean my area so that I can get something done.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecandlespastore Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have 20 restocks to do, plus the other 6 batches of my charcoal soap that I need to get done. Just ordered a propane heater from amazon for my garage so by this time next week I should be in full swing in my new 600 square foot "soap barn", with heat!!! I have been freezing my buns off:shocked2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildangel112 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Cutting my Chocolate Mint soap this morning, then boxing up some cured bars. This afternoon and tomorrow will be working on batches of Chamomile, Calendula Castile, and dog soap.Rena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 After I clean my sty this morning, I plan on making candles, soap, lotions and some roll on perfumes. I don't know how much of that is actually going to get done, but that's the goal anyway. I only know for SURE that some core candles are going to get poured so that I can carve tomorrow for a couple of orders. I have no idea what scent or what type of soap and candles I'm going to make though. I'll be thinking about that while cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'm devising my next soap. I just got my micas in and can't wait to play with them! I'm thinking of using Peak's Ocean in it. Just have to look into how Ocean acts in cp. Off to search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wick'n'Wax Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 If I can find cornmeal in our supermarkets, then some gardeners soap.Got some new EO's to try. Will be making some orange eo with calendula, lemongrass and ginger, ylang ylang and bergamot and some peppermint. Totally out of gm base though, so probably shea butter base or clear, or maybe cucumber and avocado. Made some lavender and tea tree today, so got that to cut.I'm loving this soaping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Ice Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Nothing in my soap pot but a BLIZZARD! We are have a major Blizzard here and it's very cold and windy with whiteout conditions. I'm too afraid we'll lose the power so I'll pospone soaping until things warm way back up.However, I am enjoying my first soaps I made in the shower! They've cured for several weeks! Not long enough to give out but long enough for me to test the first three batches in the shower!Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I made a batch of soap scented Satsuma for a very special friend and will be cutting it shortly. It was my first adventure with gel tone colorants so hoping it turns out OK. I can tell you it smells wonderful. I hope to make some body butter with the Satsuma for her also.

Michi Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I'm itchin' to soap some of my new FO's from the Peak coop, but I'm in the middle of "Spring Cleaning" and weeding out my candle and soap supplies, so everything is a HUGE mess of supplies everywhere!Guess I should actually finish with that so I can actually get to my oils and soaping area!

If not, save this for HP.eYeah and I am going to attempt some minor swirlage. Just laugh at me because I need to experience this. I'm determined! It will be a badge or something. I will get to be able to say "yes that seized on me badly". If it goes good though, I can say I conquered it. I love a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 OMG I get to soap and make bath bombs and other things when the sun comes up and I recover from losing an hour! It's time to make some more purple rain without the lavender lather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scent Cellar Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Yes, the Satsuma is from AH/RE and it IS awesome. I used amethyst gel tone from BCN for the swirls. I won't post a picture however as the friend reads this board and I want her to be blown away when she sees the 12 bars in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you were very pleased with you gel tones and how the soap came out. Losing an hours sleep is the pits! I don't feel like doing anything. I am going to atleast make a few restocks today if nothing else. No matter how much OMH I make I sell it, I only have 20 bars on the curing rack. I decided to wait and do Z's LS class before I attempt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
