Dorothy’s been busy at work in the kitchen around us attending the Spring Crawfish Festival last weekend and a family emergency. We’ll be updating the shopping area of the website over this weekend with the new creations so that we can share with everyone. For a sneak peek at the new goodies and the glory of smelling everything in person, stop by and see us Friday thru Sunday at our booth! We’re located right inside Puffabelly’s Zydeco Corner with Angie’s Bits o Glass and it’s a great time for the whole family out there! We have the promised Honeysuckle soap for everyone along with a few happy surprises. Our outdoor enthusiasts, we have what you need before you go play in the woods. The Texas Suds with Shiner Beer soap ran out last weekend but we had her making more to feed our addiction. There will be plenty of the St Arnold version of our beer soap out there though so no one needs to pout, promise! Next week will bring new pics to the blog and a Mother’s Day deal for those who can’t make it out to the festival. So stick around here for some soaping excitement with Dorothy’s sarcastic humor and come play with us at the festival. Either way, we’re gonna have a lot of fun.
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 😉
It’s been a busy day around here! Are your holidays getting busy too? Seems we may be winning the battle with the shopping cart here on the website. It’s loading almost everything now and seems stable but please let me know if you have any problems at all! Maybe I might have this thing figured out? When I have needed to run away from the computer screaming, I’ve been clearing the soap racks and cutting a few pounds of soap that we finished cooking up last week. I’m uploading pictures tonight of the new projects we played with so I can finish those posts I promised too. Cross your fingers that my run of computer bad luck might be over!
The beer soap is once again sold out of on hand stock. It is back to preorder only status for now but is listed here on the site to make it more convenient for you. We have more molds on order so we will be mixing up the next batch very soon- and it’ll be a much larger batch! We go through this soap so fast I’m starting to think I’m going to have to look at buying the beer by the keg. Anybody know if that’s even shippable? And can you picture the look on the delivery man’s face? I’m sure he’s really going to believe me that it’s for soap! His eyes might roll out of his head.
I had a question presented to me asking if we might have a berry scent in the works. Yes, there is a raspberry scent being tested but it isn’t quite ready to bring out yet. It will most likely be available around the end of January, if it continues as well as it looks. I’ll update you more about that later in the year or early January.
I must run back to the kitchen now and finish playing with the new green colorant. At least the mess I made in there today is easy to clean! I will return this week with a promised post and will be working in the background all week. Drop me a line if you see something I missed.
