I made this soap embed just to make sure that the mold I had made worked well, with no leaks, before shipping it out. Most blog posts "require" some little story and a bunch of pictures before giving you the actual recipe. So here is the only cowboy boot related story I could remember: When… Continue reading Testing a Cowboy Boot mold
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
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
The beginning of the year is the time I make Valentine themed soaps and rose soaps are usually one of them. Usually I make rose embeds to be placed on the top such as in here and here or here. Mainly because rose fragrances cause acceleration of the soap batter (it thickens up really fast),… Continue reading Rose embed Soap
I have come to realize that the Glenda who volunteers herself to do something in the future, or the one who signs up to be a vendor at a craft show, is a different person from the Glenda who has to actually do those things. The Glenda who has to fulfill the obligations really resents… Continue reading My craft show experience as a vendor
I do not have many stories relating stockings by the fireplace. Fireplaces were something I used to see only in movies, since the tropical weather of El Salvador makes them unnecessary, and we were never encouraged to believe in Santa Claus so we never hung any stockings anywhere. However, my husband has a story that… Continue reading Fireplace Soap
I had been waiting for Christmas time to make another snowflake soap and test a theory I had from last year. I am happy to say that it worked, at least with the bars in which I tried the solid pour. Here are the supplies used: My affiliate links: Several of the links above/below are… Continue reading Snowflake Soap
One of my favorite shows to watch, is the Great British Bake Off. Though it has been renamed to Great British Baking Show when it airs in America. As a rule, I do not like watching reality tv or competition shows. There is too much drama and backstabbing among the contestants. But this show (and… Continue reading Soap Bonsai
I bought this pineapple fragrance formulator a while back and wanted to test it before using it in a blend. It smells just like pineapple, or pineapple candy, and has stayed very strong in the soap after 6 weeks. Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits to eat; however I cannot eat more than a couple… Continue reading Pineapple soap
This is essentially a fire soap. My only previous attempts at making flames with soap was the Campfire soap, and that didnāt turn out too good, so I thought I could redeem myself. Last December the soap making forum had an un-challenge for which the theme was fire. (It was an un-challenge because there would… Continue reading Fire Soap inspired in the Library Book
