It was good until I had to make a sword.

What was I thinking?

To humour my Son for his upcoming birthday, I decided to make a Hexxit Sword for him
 SURE. NO PROBLEM...

We Google the picture and I thought-- no problem right?

I started to laugh at 11 pm at night realising: this sword is going to be taller than my kid!
Will post the pic when I'm done...:)

Sweet Inspiration!

     The cool thing about playing with soap recipes, is that you get others to love it so much, you want to continue being inspired by oils, fragrances, infusions, clays, with the mixing and matching. 

      This summer, I have been busy making a set of soaps for my now Sister-in-law and my Brother's wedding party. I didn't feel up to making for all the wedding guests-Ha! Maybe next year? I figured that starting small and making it really good is what I wanted to create.

       I created a "Channeling my Inner..." series. Each soap named after a person in the wedding party and then consulting the bride for colours and scents that would reflect the person I was making the soap for.


So here are some of the photos:
Packaging is part of the fun and excitement.
Bride's Choice:)
Packaged and ready to share:)

Here are some of the other soaps:

                         Lemongrass Verbena with Oatmeal
                      My favourite with Charcoal and 2 Clays
                                         Peaches & Cream
                                              Tea Flower


     My next project is something for my daughter's 12th birthday:)

        I feel so happy with the results. We all start somewhere right?
