Luckily, I’m better with soaping than I am with a drill press or hammer. I’ve mentioned before that I can be hazardous to my own health with some power tools and I managed to prove it without a doubt. In my amazing display of talent, I managed to beat up myself enough to need a few band aids over the two weeks, injure half of my fingers, but not teach any Cub Scouts bad words 🙂 We had to take a small hiatus to let my thumbs heal up enough from working at day camp but it was full steam ahead this week!
All the racks are full again and the kitchen smells great. There had been requests for more Sage & Citrus and Rain so we got both of those poured and cut. Both batches are still color morphing as of today so I’m curious just what color they will be when done. I took some initial pictures and will post them with the final results. Cold process soap making is notorious for bringing a little excitement to the color schemes and not always following your best laid plans. My impatience also might have ruined one Oatmeal, Milk, & Honey batch but I’m still contemplating rebatching it so I’ll save that whole fiasco for us all to have a good laugh on a Friday . We also made more laundry soap base this week and should be shredding it by this weekend. All in all, it’s been great getting back to work!
Currently in stock and ready to ship are our Chocolate, Ginger Peach, Vegan Beer Soap, and the Shea Butter Sage & Citrus. These new batches that we whipped up this week won’t be ready to leave us until mid-July. Preorders are still available for some of them though so drop us a line if there is one you want held for you! We are also waiting on a shipment of some of our favorite scents so there should be another round of soapmaking very soon in my future- woohoo! Now I must run as the giant mud puddle out back somehow lured my children into it and they are in serious need of some soap. Hope your neck of the woods gets some of this much needed rain too!
Happy Washing to you all!
