These are some soaps I made earlier this Spring, inspired by a pop tart I was eating. Something I try not to do often. It was not until a few years ago that I realized how many calories pop tarts have! Sometimes ignorance is indeed bliss. When I was younger I did not have to… Continue reading Breakfast Soaps

Goat milk, oats and honey Soap
I have only made soap with goat's milk a handful of times. I made this one at the request of someone who really likes Goat milk soap. She also wanted lots of colloidal oatmeal in the soap and honey. I knew I had to freeze the goat milk ahead of time, so I did. I… Continue reading Goat milk, oats and honey Soap
Watermelon Soaps
I love watermelons, and ate them a lot when growing up. Not cut up in small cubes like I cut it for my hubby, but I ate it straight from the slice I was given, it was messy, but yummy. Imagine my surprise five years ago when one of my allergy test show me to… Continue reading Watermelon Soaps
Tie dye Soap
The inspiration for this soap came when I was watching a murder mystery TV show ("Only murders in the building") starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. Though I generally like murder mysteries, I try not to watch them in the evening because it affects my dreams a bit too much, but this particular… Continue reading Tie dye Soap
Beach Soap
From the Soap diaries of September 7th, 2021 I have not been in the mood to make soap lately. I have found my sewing machine more interesting than the stick blender. Yet, because I signed up for a show for November, which being in Texas means that it will probably happen not matter what, I… Continue reading Beach Soap
Gift Box Soap
After Christmas, I enjoy shopping for the clearance sales. In such a shopping trip last year, I found this gift box silicone mold at Michael's that I thought would be good for Valentine soaps, or any other special occasion soaps. I thought it would be cool if I made it resemble a Tiffany gift box.… Continue reading Gift Box Soap
Wonder Woman Soap
I have wanted to make a Wonder woman soap ever since seeing the movie that came out in 2017. I felt pretty much like this girl after watching it. But like many ideas on my Soap idea list, it was buried by other soap projects. I even considered using the Wonder Woman TV show of… Continue reading Wonder Woman Soap
Dreamy Place Soap: Monet water lilies
Before getting into the soap, I will tell you about my weird dream, and then hopefully I can segue it into the soap theme. I woke up from what at first seemed a weird dream this morning. In my dream I had been given charge of three future babies (they had not been born yet).… Continue reading Dreamy Place Soap: Monet water lilies
Garden Inspired Soap
The soapmaking forum June challenge of last year was an inspiration challenge, meaning that as long as you were inspired by the challenge theme, any technique could be used in the soap. I signed up for the challenge with nothing concrete in mind. The theme was Garden Inspiration, and not necessarily one's own garden. It… Continue reading Garden Inspired Soap
Malachite Inspired Soap
I have done my share of gemstone inspired soaps. Perhaps it is because of my background of making jewelry (I still make jewelry, but mostly as a hobby now). So, when I put together this collaboration, I wanted to challenge myself to do something slightly different. In this case it would be doing an opaque… Continue reading Malachite Inspired Soap
