Our church's Fall Fellowship and hay ride is tomorrow, and I have been so busy with that, I have only poured 4 candles all week!! But first thing Monday morning, we are moving my "workshop" from the kitchen to our bedroom, and I am going to start busting out some candles and tarts for the craft show!! Toasted Marshmallow:drool:, Sugar Cookie:drool:, Pumpkin Crunch Cake:drool:, Apple Dumplings:drool:, and a few others!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Aside from my 40+ hr a week job, I've poured, labelled, packed 180 candles, and will pour, label, and pack another 200+ on my next 2 days off next week. I will be pouring 2 sizes of glass jar candles next week, using 6006, in Blackberry Sage, Citrus & Sage, Vanilla Bean, Apple Jack, Fresh Linen, and my own blend of a christmas tree scent. All FO's from Aztec. I am grateful that 6006 is poured hot instead of waiting for 464 to cool,then reheating to get smooth tops (was this week's job).It's true, I have no life, lol.

jackbenimble Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I have to make a case of Southern Sunshine and Patchouli Passion. A few of a blend that I found on here called Morning Mountain Mist(has been selling great!) and Apple Jack & Peel. I've made a few testers to burn as well.

justajesuschick Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I have just gotten a bunch of FO orders in this week so I am having a hard time deciding where to start!Perhaps against my better judgement, I am doing a "demo" tomorrow with a couple of wayward young ladies who want to learn to make melts. Megandgarr has such great blends and I have been a VERY simple/careful/cautious blender and since she was so kind to share her blend recipes, I want to try my hand at following some of hers!Community Candle Mulled Cider will be a for sure and some others I have chosen are Community Candle Cranberry Spice and Fall Harvest and thanks to a couple of other ladies here, I learned of Angel's Candle & Soap and am very eager to try Christmas Blessings and perhaps Butterscotch Brulee and/or Pomegranate Cider.

QTsmum Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I FINALLY got around to pouring tonight! It's been a long wait! My poor baby boy (10 months old) got pneumonia and was hospitalized last weekend for a couple days. . So now he's on the mend and I can take a breath and do something fun! Phew!I am trying out some clamshells and some of the new leaf mold that I just got! It's so cute! I whipped up Amish harvest (oh my goodness, does that ever smell fabulous!) apple pumpkin souffle and zucchini bread. Theyre all amazing! Amish harvest has my house smelling just divine though! I can't wait to test them out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithfulScenter Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Glad to hear your little one is doing well! I have Amish Quilt, which is just a touch sweeter than the Harvest, and it is my all time favorite!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Wow Old Glory,That's amazing. I feel lazy next to you. Know you're not alone on having no life though, LOLA little tip try pouring 464 hot, you'll get less frost, better glass adhesion, and much smoother tops. You can pour around 175 or hotter, I do it all the time. The sacrifice you make on this is you may need a second pour, but a much better looking candle. It depends on your container.Aside from my 40+ hr a week job, I've poured, labelled, packed 180 candles, and will pour, label, and pack another 200+ on my next 2 days off next week.

Chefmom Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Planting Garlic. And no that is not the name of a fragrance oil!! Working in the garden while the weather holds and getting that garlic in the ground! No candles for me. But I do have Amish Harvest going in the tart warmer thing. I wish someone would get the smell of my wild cherry tree leaves. They are dry and crispy and when you rake them the SMELL that surrounds you is divine!! It's dry leaves, outside and sweet cherry fruit with some wood too. MMMmmmmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tam1116 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I am pouring hillbilly homebrew, autumn leaves,patchouli, snickerdoodle, and winter wonderland when I figure out what color to make it, any ideas??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Jeana, I'll try pouring hotter again. Seems when I go hotter than 135-140 I get a rough top. But what the heck, I'll try it again. Thanks for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megandgarr Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I am pouring hillbilly homebrew, autumn leaves,patchouli, snickerdoodle, and winter wonderland when I figure out what color to make it, any ideas???I think of winter Wonderland as a very light icy blue or maybe a light bluish green or bright white.

justajesuschick Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Got my first BW order in yesterday afternoon after I had poured all I "planned" (yeah, right) to pour this weekend.OOB I like all I chose so I would enjoy getting some in wax to see what I really think. They all are apples, gingerbreads and pumpkins.So now I am contemplating firing everything back up again this afternoon (had it all cleaned and nicely ready to put away) and pouring some to continue my wax testing.
