| Tucking in first soap after creation! |
I am waiting for my very first batch of soap to come to some sort of similar temp so I can add nasty lye solution to yummy oil and mix! I had planned to do it earlier today...much earlier, but to use a Shutterfly coupon that expired today, I spent almost four hours sitting at the computer going through pictures to have printed. Procrastinating sure bit me big today. Now it is late, and I must finish soap mixing!
Done cleaning up at 10:04. Just adding the pictures and off to bed. I stood in my kitchen mixing and wondering "how will I know when the batter is at 'TRACE' consistency" and then all of a sudden it just was. I poured it in the mold (made by my hubby out of scrap hardwood floor planks), tucked it in with plastic wrap and a towel, and kissed it goodnight for the next two days before I can cut it, then put it to rest again for another few weeks. Not a hobby for the impatient, or at least, not the only hobby for the impatient!

Yes, I will be purchasing goggles before my next batch.

ReplyDeleteWhere is the respirator? Hopefully removed only for the paparazzi? :->
ReplyDeleteUhhh, yeah, this time I "did not inhale" but next time, respirator on too.....with the newly purchased safety goggles. Sorry, Kristin! Safety first, except when I am really really excited!
