Dare Devil Steeda

Here is my daring and not very smart Steeda. She is one of my Golden Comet pullets and I have no idea what she was thinking when she did this.

Getting close

Only a few more days until my first Farmers Market :). I'm pretty sure I already have one definite customer. She goes to the market on a regular basis and has tried a bar of my soap recently. She loved it and looks forward to seeing me there!
I'll be getting back to work tomorrow on another batch of soap. I haven't made any for a few days because I was helping a friend move, so now its back to work I go. I am considering making a shampoo bar tomorrow. I will be taking before and after pictures to post on here.

Gazebo

I went and purchased my 10x10 gazebo a couple days ago. I put it up by myself to see how easy it would be. It isn't hard to put up but will definitly be easier with two people. My husband and I have decided that our 13 year old son will be helping me every Saturday. We think it will help him learn a few things this summer while school is out.

Soap inventory

I just counted up how much soap I will have ready for the Farmers Market. I have 273 bars ready to go! That is a over hundred more then I had a while back. I didn't think that I would have that many ready. I also have about 49 bars curing right now as well. Hopefully I will get a good response when I go. The market has never had a soap maker there before so it will be interesting. Right now I am working on printing out 273 labels while I have the motivation lol. That is certainly not something I want to put off for long.

New Berry Fusion

I made another batch of Berry Fusion soap tonight. This time I decided to try something new. The last batch I made was a double layer with one color on top and another on the bottom. This time I decided to do a swirl in both layers but with a different color swirl for both. The bottom is a turquoise and the top is a violet. I can't wait to unmold it tomorrow and take a look at how it turns out. I also used the same to fragrance oils, sun ripened raspberry and strawberry delight.

Eucalyptus Swirl

Here it is. I swirled it with brown oxide and forest green oxide. I'm really surprised at how fast the eucalyptus fragrance oil accelerates the process.

Tonight's Soap

I will be making Eucalyptus Swirl tonight. I'll post pics after pouring it into the mold. And there isn't much time left before the market starts either so I need to get what oils I have together and try to squeeze in a few more batches.
