MCS Help

Yesterday I experimented with making French Milled Soap, and I think it’s going to turn out very nicely.  I gave it a wonderful lemony scent, and I can’t wait to try it!  I’m going to be back at soap-making again today, I’ll let you know how the next batch turns out.  I also made a batch of hot process oatmeal soap a couple days ago, so we’ll see if it turns out as well as the cold-process recipe.  I’ll be taking some of my new soaps to the farmer’s market this Saturday.

A couple weeks ago I made a small test batch of shaving soap, then gave a mug of it to a friend of mine at the market so he could tell me what he thought.  I’ll be making another batch of Extreme Creme for extra testing but I think it is ready to put in jars and sell.  I think it is one of the nicest richest cremes I’ve ever come across.

We had a wonderful thunder storm in the night, haven’t heard one of those for over a year in this corner of Texas.  It gave us nearly a half inch of rain, which brings the yearly total to an inch and a half on our homestead.  They are forecasting more for today, so here’s hoping!

Blessings for a beautiful day for everyone!

I finally have an orange scented bar of soap that I’m very pleased with (natural orange scent of course).  It’s a gorgeous bar and smells great. I’ve also come up with a really beautiful pink bar of soap that is colored only with paprika.  Cool, huh?  You don’t need all those artificial colors and scents to have a really lovely, nicely scented bar of soap.  And these bars of soap are good for you, no unhealthy ingredients.

After trying a couple recipes, I did some experimenting and came up with my own version of “Extreme Creme.”  It’s nice and thick so you can use it on chapped hands, rough feet and elbows . . . fantastic softening power!  I’ll get some pictures taken and get these new items listed just as soon as I can.

Wishes for a good day to all of you!
