6 batches done and ...

frisco, my helper of course was not happy when i wouldnt let her and her siblings help make soap, and the dogs of course werent happy being blocked off from the kitchen, but i have to think, think, think and not worry about tripping and spilling lye water or oils on my furry helpers... it had been a year since i made soap, when i make it, i make alot so i dont have to make it for awhile. everyonce in a while i will do a batch here and there if i need to. so after i pour the soap mixture in the molds, i tuck them in under quilts.. and try not to look at it till the next morning... always hard and i wanted to get a picture of the soap starting to jell and doing what its suppose to be doing, it tends to get an ash film if the air hits it to much during saponification...



so its always fun to uncover the finished soap in the morning, i even uncover it before i have my coffee!  mom and jana are coming over to bond this morning....so i will be cutting soap, placing it on a rack to cure for few weeks and hopefully making more this afternoon!

    Such fun! Love your soap moulds. My old cutter looks a lot like yours, but my moulds were just wood boxes. You've got me inspired to unearth my soapmaking stuff. Hope you have a lovely day! ~L

    You're so organized. The only soap I made was using glycerin, essential oil and lemon zest. Not nearly as involved or as wonderful as your soap.

    WHEW! YOUR ENERGY AMAZES ME!
    YOUR SOAP IS AMAZINGLY PERFECT AND PRIMATIVE ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND WITH A SMILE I'M IMAGINING THE HEAVENLY FRAGRANCES.
    OUT HERE THE GEESE AND SWAN ARE HAVING SUCH A GRAND SPRING GATHERING ON THE LAKE. THEIR CALLS ARE JUST FILLED WITH JOY.
    WILL BE TAKING A WALK IN THE WOODS SHORTLY AND THEN A GLIDE IN THE KAYAK.
    ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH MOM AND SISTER

    I just love the soap!! I want to learn to make soap. It's on my summer "to learn" list! I do have books, but no supplies, yet. Your molds are great.
    Hugs,
