Soap of the month

Soap of the month has to be pumpkin for October. Found the man at Slindon with all his pumpkins. I never knew there were so many different kinds, orange, red, blue, green. Am going to roast the seeds for the top of the soap and chop the flesh into the soap. Should turn out a lovely orange colour soap.

Blogs/Folksy

My kids are computer whizz not me, I grew up before calculators, when we had adding machines.  If you wanted to talk you waited until after 6 or the weekend, if you had a phone if not you went armed with a hankie full of sinfectant to the local call box on the road.  I always got muddled about which button you pressed when they answered, cut my mum off often.  Now I am so excited, I chat to all sorts of people all over the world, and today some lovely person included me in her folksy blog and said how much she loved my ice cream soap - they look more like cup cakes now and sell so fast.  The iced bath bombs are catching on and for Christmas I have lovely Snowmen fabric to wrap them in and also snowmen soaps to make.  Wow I am excited about Christmas and it is still August.

Chocolate teasers.

Looking at real edible cup cakes gave me the idea for my soap cup cakes.
Round chocolate soap balls on top like malteasers, then drizzled with real chocolate, how
indulgent, sumptious and self indulgent without the weight problem.
