I tried out a new fragrance… lemongrass and exotic lime! So fresh and beautiful.
I decided to try another ‘shimmy’ design and saved the cutting for the soap workshop yesterday!
The pattern made for a fun ‘reveal’
I did a Taiwan Swirl pattern demonstration after all the group members had finished making their batches of soap
By this stage of the day the table is in quite a mess
Such a pretty design!
An attentive audience haha
The leftover mixture I blend together and then pour into a separate mould
(Thanks to Sharon for getting some action shots!)
While on the soap stories, update on my facewasher and scrubby collection
I ran out of yellow so edged it in pink!
I think I have enough cotton to make 3-4 more
Still a little bit of tail tucking to be done
In exciting garden news, the corn has FINALLY popped out with fluffy tops and silky bits!
The crop is still looking happy and healthy so fingers crossed for some corn!
The carrot flowers blooming!
Dinner!
We had a decent clean up in the yard the day before yesterday…
Not that I got any actual photos of the cleaned up bits but you see we’ve got a lot of work here to do
Jeff spent a lot of time in the paddock cutting up leftovers from the milling as well and we moved and stacked a fair bit.
After a fairly busy day, we managed to get the kayaks in the car and down to the river for a paddle!!
So nice to get back on the water!
Hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend!
Cheers
Love the soap pattern! Bet it smells divine. We grew lemongrass for a short time, until winter did it in. I didn’t know when I should have brought it inside. We’re coming out of 11 days of ice and snow, so love seeing your warm, sunny photos!
Hi – thank-you! Yes, that new fragrance heads into my top ten favs I reckon!
Wow…sounds so cold at your place! Its amazing seeing all my Northern Hemisphere friends photos while I am paddling on the river and sweating haha
Hope you are having a lovely weekend!
