Updates

It's been a few weeks since I've sat down to blog.  With summer weddings and soap favours to be made, time has been limited.  Plus work and out of town guests.  My step son Saire married his sweetheart Jasmine on August 8th.  The first in our family to wed.  Very exciting! I made the soap favours.  Girls and guys camo soaps.  

Beautiful couple.  I have made some soap over the last few weeks.  

Anjou Pear smells divine.  Looks very French.  This recipe is my standard olive coconut palm castor shea butter distill water sodium hydroxide.  Anjour pear fragrance green oxide red clay hanger swirl. Deadly Weapon. Same recipe as above coral and yellow lab colour 

Sweetgrass same recipe green oxide just a tad white titanium oxide hot processed this one.  

It's got to be my favourite summer scent.  Well that's it condensed with what I've been up to thanks for stopping by !  I promise I won't wait too long as summer winds down to keep you updated on my latest projects!  Bye for now

Deadly Weapon & Wisteria Lilac, Sophronia's Secret

Deadly Weapon.          Wisteria Lilac sold out one day!!! I posted on FB all gone.  Here's the pretty packing 

Pretty Raffia Bow and birch bark.  So pretty !!

The ripple effect is my signature bar matches my business card!  Love how that turned out. 

Sophronia's Secret deep facial scrub bar. 

It's been over a week or so since I've blogged.  I should be keeping more up to date with you all.  Between work, soap, and home it's difficult at times.  In any case I have made soap.  Sophronia's Secret,  Deep Cleansing Facial Bar.  I make this soap exclusive for Sophronia's Nail Salon.  Kaylan is giving some of these as samples to some athletic people.  It's nice to see my soap

getting out there !!! Beautiful birch bark wrapping tied with jute twine.  Activated charcoal, bentonite clay, olive, coconut, castor.  Kaylan is selling these like hot cakes so she tells me!!! Exciting.                  Wisteria Lilac:  

Love the pink "ish" colour.  I used ultramarine violet, purple gel colour and titanium dioxide.   It's lavendery pink.  I like it, not what I wanted but it's gonna have to do.  This one is olive, coconut, new crisco w/palm, castor oil. Wisteria Lilac fragrance.  I have a head cold but my son says it smells good!  I'll take his word for it.  Left overs went into my ripple mould.  Just enough to fill them both.  Yay!!!  I have a lady wanting everything lilac.  So these are for her!  I hope you like them Lori. 

And last but not least my Deadly Weapon Bar.  

Canary Yellow and Coral gel colourants.  I love these colours !!! So bright and vibrant.  Same ingredients as above olive, coconut, crisco new/palm, castor oil.  Deadly Weapon Fragrance and Strawberry combined.  I am doing these for a new client Carolyn who fell in love with this as a Christmas gift.  She also has a shop in the Nor'Westor Mountain Range outside of Thunder Bay.  She's in St. Martins on the beach right now and I wanted these to be ready for her when she gets back.  And she wants to sell my soap in her shop.  Very exciting.  

Brilliant like a hot sun in the tropics.  So now you see what I've been up to.  The soap kitchen has been busy. And I've had some customers drop by too and made deliveries.  Note:  I still use the milk carton I save them just for this reason.  They make a good solid size and shaped soap bar.  

Love them. A good way to recycle and reuse.  And in the last note.  It's my fathers birthday today this year marks the third year that my dad passed away.  I miss him very much but know he is watching over me.  Happy Birthday Dad I Love You.  Hugs and kisses I send to you in Heaven.  Xxxooo Love Brat, aka Little Billy, aka Black Eyed Susan.  All my nicknames he gave me.  I'm still your little girl.  :))) you were not only my father you were my best friend.  Till next time.  Happy Soaping.
