This page is many days old. I’m not thrilled with the page itself but the words are resonating with me this week.
There may be ch-ch-changes on the horizon. More on that at a later time.
Hope your days are filled with the little things.

I was able to remove the blocks or loaves of soap from the molds today.The oatmeal topped one smells so good!!
I cut them into bars and set them to cure for the next month.
I have to say that they already felt “soap-like”.
The next thing I need is a better way to cut the blocks into bars to get a more even, consistent bar. They are all approx the same weight but they are definitely not even.
Can’t wait to do the next batch! I have to make room in the storage room before I do more. Space…it always seems to be an issue.

The garage is finally a comfortable temperature again so I got my soap making supplies out and made two batches this morning. The first was an unscented batch that I felt comfortable making again as it turned out well the first time around.
Next I decided to branch out a bit with new recipe, fragrance and an inclusion. I’d observed this soap being made by my friend Patty so I had a clue before starting.
The inclusion is oatmeal ground in my coffee grinder. I sprinkled a few oats on top of the mold so I’d be able to tell the two batches apart very
easily. The oatmeal acts as a wonderful exfoliant and general grime fighter.The molds are tucked away in the storage room waiting to be released from the molds in 24 hrs or so. I lifted the wool blanket a wee to show you the two batches. There was a lot of heat under there.
