kdmorgan Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 TGIF Everyone!!!!!I have about (10) tart scents to pour this weekend and then I'm going to play with pillars. I have to get my swap basket ready for the Bitter Creek Convention and there's nothing like waiting 'til the last minute Just wondering what all my other candle buddies were up to. Any shows this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildangel112 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Our biggest spring show is fast approaching so I'll be a pouring fool this weekend...Pink Sugar, White Tea & Ginger, Red Velvet Cake, Satsuma, Sweet Basil & Lavender and Sandalwood Patchouli, for starters.

fredron Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Got a craft show, so not much pouring this weekend. However, I want to make a couple of my new blends tonight. Bristol Bay, and Yakutat Bay. Both are outdoor fragrances I've been playing with for weeks. My DW finally put her seal of approval on the test burns, so we're ready to pour.

LynnS Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I am pouring 10 tart scents too this weekend.A order from one of my best customers. She is keeping me caught up with tarts and now I will be ready for spring and fall shows.Just need a few more bakery scents for fall and I will be set this year for tarts.I HOPE.Also have to label some tarts besides these. I got behind.Also doing that this week-end. Then straightening up my candle area. Got 3 large bookcases last week and putting all my scents on one, jars on another and packaging on another.Got to get my work order back in shape. Doesn't take long to get it unorganized.Last but not least the tax guy called for me to pick up our taxes.YES we are the lastest we have ever been.AND we don't have to pay.We get bunches back. UMMMM Candles Supplies are always needed and I am looking at MAYBE opening a shop in my backyard next year. I will be asked this craft season "Where can we get these candles"? I need to do alot of thinking. LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerJill Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 A beautiful sunny day here and I should be outside doing some spring cleaning in the yard but......finished up some testing this week so now get to pour those for stock. And as long as the wax is melted I won't be able to resist pulling out a few new samples to test, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to do a test burn tonight to see how good it is... but as for now, it doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Making pillars as usual but am devoting this weekend to blending various scents. In the pot right now is Vanilla & Black Canyon. Went 5:1 and the BC is still the dominate scent but will see how the hot throw does and maybe increase the ratio of vanilla. Last nite I poured Van/Pomengranate pillars for a special order and that combo really rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGirl Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Dark Chocolate candles (still prepping for my Chocolate show!) and I'm going to try and sneak in some Hyacinth in flower pot containers tonight. I am so happy with the color I got on the Dark Chocolate - looks good enough to eat!Tomorrow is family day... the grandparents are coming down for my son's 12th birthday party. Don't know if I'll be able to sneak any candles with the crowd here (but I need to!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
