Whipped soap

Learning from on line one has to search to find out info, then a lot of people just show you and do not actually tell you.  So I want to thank Amy of Great Soapworks in America for all of her information.  She posted a video of herself at a Farmers market making soap, now I have been asked and refused but thought after seeing her video I can do this, so thanks.  When I first started I tried to make whipped soap and ice the tops of cup cakes, two years on the fear of working with soap has gone and like an artist I am manipulating the soap not the soap dictating to me, having said that sometimes it siezes and it does not work out, but am getting around that one.  Yesterday for the first time in two years I made whipped soap and used it and oh my goodness what a difference two years experience with soap makes.  Hope you like the picture.  Have a look at our face book page.

I just read that some one said that their month had not been productive they lost their creative mojo.  I love that, I have lost mine this week.  I hate indecision and the weather is definitely indecisive!!!  I need to get cracking with things but trying to find the way forward is not happening at the mo. I just want some sunshine. Am just getting organised to start up a Networking for Handmade Mums.  Evarly morning breakfasts are great if you have no kids to get out the door, daytime is ok if you have no little ones, or like me spend the day working so to take a couple of hours out really disrupts my day.   5.30 is such a good time if you are just coming out of work, but if you have kids to feed, or two coming in from work like me it is silly to walk out as they walk in for dinner, so 7.30-9.30 with a glass of wine.  Ladies talking to Ladies honestly and openly about how they are getting or have got where they are.  All there to help each other.

Soap Challenge

The wonderful soap challenge has finished but kept the emails so can go back and do them again when I have time.  Thought I had enough soap, then get asked for 25 doggy soaps, 10 peace in the garden and also 30 milkshakes 20 cupcakes, so making like made, the lounge is full and so is the dining room.  However, this is really encouraging my daughter to get my shed sorted in the back garden to get me out of the house.  No more soap in my dinner cries my son.

Jubilee

It has been a busy week, getting ready for the three day events weekend and also coping with the orders coming in which are great.  I have done two childrens birthday parties over the last two weeks and the kids just love the bath bombs see the pictures.  Have another one this week and I am as excited as the kids.  Of to Goodwood Racetrace for a Benevolant Childrens charities, looks like being a good day.  Was at a festival on Sat the only problem they placed us stalls straight in front of the loud speakers and they blarred music all day so loud I would think you could hear them in the next county.  We both felt ill with such headaches from the boom boom all day.
