…Please stand by. Our resident mad scientist, aka Dorothy, has been spotted digging thru a pile of research notes, tromping thru the garden with her cutters on a mission, and plotting the reveal of a few new ideas again. She was already murmuring about the info she had learned about a new-to-her allergen when that really great guy in the big brown delivery truck arrived, bringing her another box of goodies she had apparently been lying in wait for. There were squeals of joy as the contents were whisked away to the kitchen. The cauldron and stick blender have been trying hard to keep up and have been heard begging for mercy. As the household is running out of flat surfaces for her to stack soap and her soap racks are almost full, we expect to be able to drag her away from the kitchen shortly. It may require bribery of chocolate or coffee to make her stay in her computer chair but we shall get her to create a coherent update shortly of her crafting.
It’s been quite a few crazy weeks around here again. You too? We had a great time at Donna’ Market last Saturday and met some more great people. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, the funny jokes, and also to those who gave me some new projects to play with! I’m hoping to start on two of those next week. Tonight we will be at the Klein Oak High School Spring Fling Carnival to help them with a school fundraiser so we hope to see more of you again. My ankle is still healing though so hubby probably won’t let me play on the giant inflatables. Sigh. That’s life though. I’m sure this thing will be back to 100% percent before too much longer and I’ll be back to zooming around at top speed- yay!
As I double checked the checklist to make sure I had everything loaded for tonight, I realized that I hadn’t updated the website. Bad, bad Dorothy! So I am uploading a few pictures of the recent soapy fun I’ve had in the kitchen and praying they show here for your enjoyment too. Someone really should get going on that smell-o-vision already because these soaps smell heavenly! The only way you’re going to get to breathe in this awesomeness is to come see us in person.

The green and white this time is our Sage and Citrus while the cool rock-looking one is the revamped Cinnamon Swirl Soap. (Remember not to put that one on your face or “tender bits” unless you want one extra spicy wash!) You’ll also find below the new Peppermint confetti soap that has been a BLAST! I called this run of it a “split decision” set because I had started topping it with the panels embedded flat as had been requested. I just couldn’t help making a few stand up like shark fins towards the end- and they loved that look even more. So awesome and fun- I will definitely be keeping more of this around!

Come by and see us tonight at the carnival too. The street address is 22603 Northcrest Lane, Spring, TX 77389 and even my GPS directions thing can find it- hooray! Over the next few weeks we’ll be updating everyone on where to find us for April and May along with more soaping fun. See you around, have lots of fun this weekend, and keep smiling everybody. It confuses people 😉
I kept waiting on posting this until I could get a few more dates confirmed but I realized that might take too long. Patience is still one of those virtues I’m working on, I admit. 🙂 As of today, we are confirmed to be at these markets in March. I’ll save the April dates posting until I get more confirmations on them. Mark your calendars and come have a little fun with us!
