A few years ago I wanted to buy a pair of long shorts (sounds like an oxymoron, right?). After going to the mall and some stores, it appeared such item did not exist. There were short shorts though, but I wanted something that at least reached my knees or below. (I did not want to… Continue reading Pour Pull Screen Technique Soap
When my husband told me that a coworker of his had a pet hedgehog, I was intrigued. How does one handle a thorny-spikey animal? Can you even handle them? And off I went into an internet search that brought me to this cute video of a hedgehog getting a bath. That was only one of… Continue reading The making of a Hedgehog Soap
Abalone shells have always been a favorite material of mine for jewelry making. Though because they are too expensive, I did not buy them often. And having learned how endangered they are now, I may not buy them again anytime soon. I do find their colors fascinating, so when I saw this fragrance called Abalone… Continue reading Making Abalone Soap
Peacock Feather Soap It seems now that it is a yearly tradition of mine to make a peacock feather soap. Last year's attempt taught me to be more selective with the fragrance. So I looked for fragrances that were not only "well behaved" but also for fragrances that slowed trace down. So I checked fragrance… Continue reading Peacock Feather Secret Swirl Soap

He had watched several videos and wanted to try these two: The spin swirl technique from Brambleberry: and… Continue reading Spin Swirl Soap

It reminds me of it, because flowers are mentioned often in the book. The… Continue reading Making Flower Power Soap
Teddy Bear embed in Soap The first of the Valentine Soaps series, I am really happy with how these little bears turned out. I was out of brown soap dough, so I only made a couple of them brown. I figured the rest could be white polar bears instead.... For the fragrance I chose Cherry… Continue reading Teddy Bear Soap
If you like chocolate, you will love this soap. It smells like pure chocolate. It was meant to smell like peppermint/chocolate (a scent I like, though I personally do not like the taste of chocolate mints that much). However, the peppermint candy fragrance has lightened up a lot and I cannot detect it much anymore.… Continue reading Hot Cocoa Mint Soap
**This soap will be available in the store on 9/6/19 if you want to grab a bar** When making this soap, I came to the realization this might be my last time putting fruit in soap. There is nothing wrong with it if you do, and nothing negative has occurred from me putting purĆ©es in… Continue reading Snow White soap
