Car is Packed

Hi there!!

There is a market this weekend- over two days at the Rhododendron Gardens not too far from here.
I haven’t checked the weather but I am booked and packed! Fingers crossed
I’ve been sorting soap this week and boxing it up… good grief I have a lot!!

Been trying to get Christmassy colours happening. None of these will go with me on the weekend. Will save them for the Nov. Markets closer to Christmas.

I am getting better at the wreath design. Chose better colours that dont run… and a fragrance (Peppermint) that doesn’t discolour the base mix.

This one was a bit of fun. I did peppermint again… going for that candy cane feel??

The butterfly embed soaps unmoulded nicely and are rather sweet.

And lastly before I take myself off to bed (shockingly before midnight) my first attempt at …
Well… I am sure you are all seeing a fir tree in a snow storm right??
This was the closest one to the mark.
Made me laugh a bit but all my FB friends and family are being very kind about it 🙂

I will try again with my normal loaf mould and a fragrance that doesn’t accelerate the trace. It got a bit thick to work with so things didn’t quite go my way.
BUT – I think I know how to fine tune it. And I’ll cut the snow smaller too.
Goals… 🙂

Have a great weekend everyone
Cheers!

    1. Hi Linda!! Hope you are doing well!! Was quite the weekend… one super dreadful day weather wise (haha – typical Tassie spring) and today was superb!! xx

  3. I love the Christmas wreath soap and the tree with snow scene! If you are happy with it, you can market it as Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tree soap. ❤️ I think it’s lovely, just as it is. Hope the market sells well and you have fun. I love seeing pix when you go to market!
