Soap is coming along. ..

So... this week I got to make surprise visit to Jenny's.... While I was there I got to peek in on our soaps that are curing..

And to my pleasant surprise they're coming along... we have learned some valuable things in our race to make the perfect soap concoctions...

1) Pica (who we have lovingly started calling Rufus the doofus) will eat anything and everything he can get a hold of.... including lavender and our strawberry cream soap!

2) The cream and milk base soaps stink to high heavens but get better as they cure

3) Hot process method may not be our favorite or prettiest method... but it's instant gratification.... and we love that! And at times need that.... yeah we are those people... waiting for soap to cure is easier when you have work to distract you....

4) The "lye dance" is the best and we can't wait to do it again!

5) We want to be Soapysmiths when we grow up!

And 6) honey slows down the curing process... or we botched the batch.... we are still waiting so see what happens to our lavender earl grey and honey infused soap...

I hate the waiting game!...

Well friends until next time...
Keep the gloves and vinegar handy... you never know when you can help a soapysmith out!
