Bath Salt

Makig bath salt today for my mother in law. She is giving them as table gifts for Christmas dinner. Pie crust scent. It has a great spicey sent just like a pumpkin pie.

Soaping Buisness

For now due to personal reasons I am not making soap. I will post again though as soon as I do. I am hoping to start agin in a couple months.

Tonight's soap was Banana Nut Bread with oatmeal and cinnamon... yum. After it was poured it looked like the actual batter lol. I was joking with a friend and tld her making soap is like cooking but with a bigger possibility of exploding :)

Not the greatest pic of it but this is my Lavender and oatmeal log from today. I will have better pictures of the cut bars tomorrow. The whole house smelled great after unmolding this one.

Tonight's soap

Before unmolding my patchouly and sandalwood soap I finshed putting together and Lavender oatmeal soap. I can't wait till it is hard enought to unmold so that I can cut it and take pictures. I think it will look really good. I used the last of my ultramarine violet coloring though. I'm going to try to budget in natural colorants soon. A lot of people around here are all about the natural stuff. Well at least half. The other half don't seem to really care as long as it smells good.

This is my Patchouly and Sandalwood combo. The bottom layer is the patchouly and the top is the sandalwood. Each bar weighs over 7oz except for one that weighs in the high 6s.

Here is a felted raspberry soap I was playig around with the other day. I am trying to become more daring with the felt.

This is one of the pictures of Saturday's market set up. I made a new table cloth in a harvest theme that also serves to cover the front of the table so that people don't see anything that may be stored there.

Here is a closer look at the table setup. I like to think that it improves each week. In the middle front is my new gift from my 7 year old son from when he went to Niagra Falls with his grandma and aunt. He is so happy with that gift :)

This is my Autumn-Zin-Lily soap. I made this for a fall soap swap next month. It has Zinnia seeds in it and day lilly petals and it is scented with Autumn Afternoon fragrance oil.

Here is another table pic from a couple weeks ago.

Here are 2 of the soaps that I have been working on. The first one is my Patchouly soap that I unmolded last night. The second pic is my lime soap that I am felting for tomorow's market. In that pic you can see 2 of the soaps that are drying and then the other ones in the background that have not been done yet.

Here are two soaps I felted yesterday as part of a house warming gift. The felting process is coming a long a lot better then it was.

Saturday's Market

Here I am at Satuday's market. It went better then the last few weeks. I have to finish felting the last of my plain soaps for this Saturday. And I should have my first order from VistaPrint so I will have my car magnet up and new buisness cards out. I will also make sure I use my tote and have it where it will be noticed but out of the way.

Large Banner

I just ordered a large outdoor banner this morning. It was a great sale that I couldn't pass up. VistaPrint isn't charging shipping on anything over $30 for 48 hours. So I got a real nice banner for just under $39. I can't wait for it to get here so I can post pictures of it.

Cool stuff

I should be getting three new items for business on Friday. I will have 1 car magnet, 1 tote, and 250 business cards. They were all free and all I had to do was pay the shipping. Next week I will be ordering g a 6' x 5 1/2' outdoor banner! It looks great. When I get my stuff this Friday I will post pictures for everyone to see. Hubby said I could slap the magnet on and drive every where with it lol. I'll make sure I put it some where that people will be sure to see it when I am at the farmers market.
