The Fallen

So – the winds are back.
I was packing soap into some containers and looked out the window & saw this gum tree fall – happily into our front garden AND missing the trailer.
More firewood… sigh.

This was fun! More cedar and saffron fragranced soap – I experimented with dropping the coloured mix into the base mix rather than mixing and blending like I usually do! I like the effect. I think if the base mix was a little thinner then the colour would have dropped in further.

This one I really like – White Ginger and Amber!!
Such a lovely fragrance. I like the natural subtle colour too. There was some natural clay (supposedly yellow?) on sale. So I got some just to see. It suits the fragrance really well.
Pity you cant have a sniff!!

I made some more applejack peel soap – smells so scrumptious!

I found some chocolate moulds at the op shop for a huge 50 cents! These little dinosaurs are so cute. Once they cure a bit I will embed them in the top of a bigger bar of soap. Just for fun!

I didn’t unmould the lavender/peppermint one today. Just seemed a bit soft. But I love the smell… keep having a sniff when I walk by just to make sure I love it as much as I did ten minutes prior.

Anyway, I have a stupid early start tomorrow so best get a wriggle on.
First time with the soaps at the foreshore market so will be interesting to see how they go!

Have a wonderful weekend!
Cheers

  1. My how pretty all your soaps are. I know they smell as good as they look. What a tree fell. More to burn and work!! Hope you have a most successful market for soaps. Have a blessed day. Love from Georgia

    1. Hi Linda!! Thank-you! I had a good market day – so more room on my shelves to make more soap! Bliss 🙂
      There was a half grown eucalyptus in the front yard – which was the one that came down. Probably a good thing really. It wasn’t the right place for a tree like that.
      Jeff got into it this morning with the chainsaw, so now we can tackle moving it after Christmas!!
      Yes – fires still raging. The fire fighters must be exhausted! So tough on everyone involved 🙁
