More restocking

I had to make another batch of Oriane today, as it has proved very popular at craft fairs. I made the essential oil blend a couple of days ago to give it time to develop properly, and then spent most of today with the bottle glued to my nose, sniffing the heady fragrance. I do so love that particular blend, sigh. I make this one in a slab mould ( great old wooden tray from a boot fair, was all of 50p) so that I can swirl the top properly. Thankfully, the soap behaved beautifully and let me have enough time to swirl. It is gelling nicely at the mo. Didn't get a chance to take a pic straight after pouring and swirling, so the pic shows it half gelled -

This is another single scent soap, this time rose geranium. Of course I had to use pink in that soap, the geraniums I had in my hanging baskets last summer were a lovely shade of rose pink. I hope that this pink turns out to be a similar shade of gentle rose pink. Rose geranium is an awesome scent, I love it pure and I love it in essential oil blends. Maybe the next soap will be a new blend, hmmm.


My darling son has just reminded me that I am supposed to make new batches of soaps which I am running out of, not lots of new ones, lol. He is worried that he will have to help me with the design of labels for the new soapies, teehee. Mind you, it always costs me dearly, I have to take him out to Cosmo for an oriental buffet in return for his help.

Spring has sprung.......

the grass has ris,
I wonder where them oilies is

teeheee

The lovely sunshine this morning had motivated me to make soap today. It had to be a new batch of Clementine, of course, a) because of the gorgeous sunshine yellow colour and fresh citrus scent, and b) because it is almost sold out, I only have one bar left!

This is it, freshly poured and swirled, hopefully I will be able to cut it tomorrow.



PS - Haven't touched my beads in days! See, not addicted at all.
