Embeds with soap dough
When I was told the name of this collaboration, Summer Sunshine, my mind immediately went to the song "You are my sunshine". It is one of my favorite songs. I heard it for the first time while watching Star Trek with my husband a few years ago. I know the song is older, but I… Continue reading The little prince soap
I like making soap flowers, I feel they add a special touch to what otherwise would be a plain soap. (Nothing against plain soaps, though, I like those too). Here is how to make them by hand, though a mold/mould makes it soooo much faster. Here is a flower mold examplethat works with soap dough… Continue reading Making Soap Flowers
For the longest time, I had believed that strawberries were called so because straw needed to be added to their beds to keep them from getting soggy if in touch with the ground. Turns out that was a myth! If you want to learn why they might be called that, here is an explanation. I… Continue reading Strawberry Soap
I got into a faux gemstone streak with soap dough about a month ago, and these were the second gemstones I made (the first were the turquoise, and soon I will publish the amethyst ones, those are easy, with MP soap) I am at a loss thinking about which fragrance would go well with these. … Continue reading Lapis Lazuli Soap embeds

It was a limited release movie, that only played (or may still be playing) in some theaters. Actually, it was a double feature, animated, followed by The Reign of… Continue reading Superman Soap
Christmas went by and I did not get to make a soap with the frankincense and myrrh fragrance I had bought! I realized this early in January, and then I thought, well, the Three kings day is around the corner, and frankincense and myrrh is what they actually brought, so why not make it now?… Continue reading Three Wise Men Soap
I made this soap last year (it sounds like such a long time ago when you say that even if it is only January) for a friend whose birthday was in December and she told me she liked this fragrance. I had bought 1 lb of this fragrance earlier because it is one of my… Continue reading Apple Cinnamon Soap
This soap could easily be a "Galaxy Soap" famous in soap making circles, if you forgo the star trek embeds. The galaxy soaps I have seen though, are usually made with soap balls, which are usually formed with soaps shavings from other projects. This one is a bit different in that regard. I wanted a… Continue reading Star Trek Inspired Soap
I used to work at a company that had two buildings and a courtyard in between them. The courtyard had fountains and crape Myrtle trees around it. I used to walk between the buildings at least once a day. In the Spring and Summer, the trees around the courtyard fountains displayed bright fuchsia flowers that… Continue reading Flowers at the Fountain Soap
