I sent my money to Sarah Janes. And she has received it and sent my soap to the assessor. I sent her an e-mail asking how long it took and how would i receive the cert etc. She sent one back saying i would receive the cert via PDF through e-mail, and to have a lovely relaxing holiday and that she would be here when i got back!!!
Eh WTF?? i'm not going on holiday i want to make soap. Hurry up woman!
OOHH thats annoying, i wanted to know how long it would take. Gonna cry now!

Hhhhhmmm i may have changed my mind
Well this yuckky soap is beginning to grow on my, i took a pic as i was putting it into the oven to cook and it actually looks very very pretty, i only hope it looks as good when i cut it.
As for the smell, well i am getting used to it but i dont think i will be washing with it, i will try it out of course just as a control, buti actually love the colour heres the pic of it going in the oven.
What a stink
Oh dear talk about trials and tribulations!
I made a soap and put alkanet in the superfat oil, i stuck it in a metal teapot and warmed it(infused) it turned a promising shade of reddish pink, so far so good, apart from the fact it smelled like my husbands feet~ barf, anyway poured lye into oils with superfat, then it went sort of grey ish but still quite nice it had a shell like apearance to it. but looked a bit boring, so i put some of the mixture in a jug and added a half teaspoon if blue lake colour to it wizzed it round and then added celtic twilight(barf again yuck that smells like antiseptic)FO to it and poured the grey, then some of the blue then grey then blue and swirled it around and it actually looked really impressive when i was putting it in the oven. Its in there now gelling, so we will wait and see I will post later when its set.
over and out
loads of love

ok, i havent made soap for a couple of days but i had things on. Anyway i just thought i would post about my labels, i had a present to make for my sister today, it was her birthday last wednesday, and i didnt know what to get her, but i know she loves soaps so i put some in a jar i got in Tesco, and then was trying to make some labels without covering the front of the soap like i have done before, and this is what i came up with, I think its gorgeous. then i made a bag for Emma my nearly 3 yr old that is gorgeous too!

ggrr i can never figure out how to put these blummin pics in side by side Oh well, you get the idea!
cheery bye for now!!

The day it all went wrong
I made soap today, it was going to be 'lovley' SJP's dupe of lovely arrived and i set about making a 'lovely' soap. I mixed my titanium dioxide and red colour to make pink, had the sweet almond oil to make it gorgeous, and when i added my scent it all seized AAAARRRGGGHHH, and i had to work very quickly, so no swirls in this one
but here it is!
Ive got some alkanet now so have to find out what to do with it, and i think that may be best suited to peppermint soap
