Camouflage Backpacker Soap

Sept 12th is coming up and soon! Here is one soap I think will be a good seller. These are Goddessite Clay Unscented Backpack/Trail Size Bars, wrapped in a Camo Crochet Cloth made by myself I must add.

I am very proud of these little bundles of soap. I have been crocheting for a month now. There are 21 of these and hopefully they will be a hit at the Hazelwood Fair. $5.50 each, great gift for the camper or hunter. Unscented and slightly abrasive. Nice "Earthy" scent from the clay...its great stuff.

Pumpkin Patch Soap

Hi everyone! Its getting down to the crunch September 12th is coming up fast. My Harvest Festival Soaps have been curing for 3 or so weeks and are ready to be wrapped up for sale.

This was the first one I made, Pumpkin Patch, it smells so good you want to eat it.

I found the recipe for this soap on the internet and wrote it down. Glad I did because it is one of the better soaps I have made. For the next couple of weeks I will be wrapping up all the bars and as I go along I will post them for you all to see and order if you want!

If you want the recipe email me and I will send it to you for now gonna keep it a secret!

I have been really thinking how to wrap my soap bars so it takes less work, tough but I kind of came up with something which I will share. Purchased a pad of scapbooking papers and am cutting out strips to fit around the bars. Trying to colour co-ordinate them to match the bars theme. I download clipart images http://www.bing.com/ is my fav, copy the image I want into works and produce my label. It is still time consuming but looking a bit more professional then just a raffia bow. enjoy

Black Licorice Swirl

Well I don't think I have ever been this excited about soap...it got me dancing in the kitchen.

I think it is my best soap to date. I have tried marbling before with other soap recipes and this is my best result so far!! the recipe made 32 bars of soap, two full soap molds. I was exstatic when I took them out and cut them. This I will make again. Want the recipe? here it is

4 oz Castor Oil

38 oz Crisco w/palm all veg oil

24 oz Organic Coconut Oil 76

24 oz Olive Oil

34.2 oz Distill Water

12.72 oz Sodium Hydroxide

2 25 oz Black Licorice Fragrance Oil (Canwax)

Activated Charcoal (Pre-saturated with oil) I poured in maybe an ounce and a bit to swirl

At light trace add the fragrance then pour your activated charcoal ITP (in the pot) in spots here and there and pour into mold, with a bamboo skewer run thru the soap mix and make your swirls back and forth and then criss-cross, Put it to bed. I let this sit for 36 hours before taking out of the mold. It was hard not to peek :-) I am going to use this recipe for my next batch of Miyake for Women a nice perfumey soap and am going to use pink and green clay for the marble so stay tuned. Doesn't it get exciting! if you want one send me a line. Online orders $5.00 bar Harvest Festival $6.50

Hazelwood Harvest Festival

Hi Folks! Its been awhile. I have had a hot summer so far here in Thunder Bay so haven't been spending too much time indoors to keep things updated. Plus I have been getting ready for the upcoming Hazelwood Harvest Festival, September 12th I have been very busy soaping away
I have made a number of soaps since my last post including a soap I came up with for the festival. I am calling it Hazelwood Harvest Soap. a nutty fragrance of hazelnut and brewed coffee. My husband doesn't like the smell, but as it cures away in its spot upstairs I keep checking it and its not bad do have to say its not one of my favorites. I ordered 8 oz of the fragrance so somewhere down the line I will have to incorporate it into something else.
