Nude 2 go

Another typo on the lable.
I am so challenged in this field.I shall change it next printing.
It should read: No scents ,no perfume ,makes sense if you are into the plain and natural.

An excited little Soap Maker

My favorite of the 3 perfumes I made is YlangYlang ,Chamomile and Rose.My nose is certainly getting an education.
My batches of Rose soap are safely curing now.

They turned out splendid.

I will get the lables ready asp so that as soon as the 4 weeks curing is up I can share them.

Rose has arrived

The Rose Essential Oil has arrived.
What a small amount for so little.
I have put a tiny amount in an oil burner and it is beautiful.After a bit I added some patchouli to test the effct= Gorgeous.
In a moment I shall drop in some vanilla to see what that does.
I have some rebatch ready of the first moon dance to make up with a purply colouring to add to those blues.There was some chamomile and lavender first time arround.Yes I will add in a smidgeon of That damscas Rose whoooo.
I shall let you know what that turns out like.

Rose Soaps

Thats one of my Blue Moon Roses before changing colours.It's great to be establishing a Rose garden bed.


My Rose essential Oil should arrive this week and I am busy preparing molds,continuing to create Lables and working out the other oils and additives such as Petals to add.


I can hardly wait to try this new soap in about 5 weeks.

Raining today



Heres my first stardust soap card that I will add to my soon to be unveiled soap shop.It is unsparkled as yet and may be changed a little.Customized changes can be made to all my cards to then be printed out and can be added to a gift parcel to go directly to your friend will do a soapy theme next one.

Pop over here to choose a card.









Now off to the dentist.
I hope to pick up some more miniature roses today so I can put rose buds onto soaps.

Photo of Packaging test for Macadamia Soaps


Thankyou Jo for your idea of transferring my design on to hand made paper.This is actually some handmade look alike paper I happened to have and it makes a big difference.
I am not sure how I would go about printing real hand made paper incase it affected my printer as my sister Pauline of Candles By Mail has an enormous printer cemetry.
I do have a pile lovely thick white paper my mum did for me about 15 years ago that I treasure ,but may be that should be used for something I keep.So I will need to make some more.
This is the most fun I have had in ages.
Oh yes I had breakfast .

Bliss sheer Bliss

I should be eating breakfast but you know how it is with adictions,I just had to breath in the ethereal essence of the new white soap and it's packaging.Yes a honey of a package design is already evolving and even though it's in temporary mode I shall take a photo of it, after break fast.
So see you soon.
