Dreamweaver Black Tea

Named this after the lovely Dreamweaver on Etsy chat, from whom I purchased some lovely teas. This is Brambleberrys Black Teas and it is just divine!!!!!

Been making soap :0) !!!!!!!

Well I have my first market this weekend and wonder just how it will all go, not too sure if my soap displays are going to be ready but not too concerned as it will just make the next time even better.
I am making soap at the moment to stock in the wonderful Handmade Heaven in Ipswich and thought I would share a picture of the log I cut into today. I am looking forward to being involved with this beautiful boutique shop full of handmade goodies from not only Ipswich and Brisbane but I believe interstate as well. Here is the link to the Handmade Heaven blog............ Enjoy  http://handmadeheaven7.blogspot.com/

This is fragranced with a lovely Honey Fragrance and think this one my just get the bees visiting!!!!!!

New Take on Green Irish Tweed

Well this is the third take on Green Irish Tweed and I think I am finally happy with it. Have done two logs for a new Market on the Goldcoast so will be interesting as Fathers Day is in September. I am hoping to tempt a few purchases for some fathers out there :0)

Sunday Morning

Oh for a quiet morning, kids sleeping, fresh perked coffee and a stroll around Etsy :-) gotta love it!!!!!!!
A few new soaps for an upcoming Market :-)

Melts are such fun!!!!

I have been making candles for about 14yrs now and have never before dabbled with Melts for the oil burner..............until just recently that is and what fun they are :0) I am hooked. Off to make more......

Isn't it great when......

You not only discover a fragrance that soaps really well but also smells amazing. Well This Lemon Verbena is one of those fragrances. Recently I bought a few oils from Sweetcakes and I am delighted with those that I have soaped to date :0). I am not great at describing fragrance but this is certainly no straight lemon scent it is softened somewhat with what I would describe as delicate florals.

Black Tie Affair Revamped

Last week I had a container of Activated Charcoal arrive and I am totally in love with it, it is so deep and totally black..............no muted shades of Grey with this stuff and oh those additional benefits to the skin as well :-). I have stock go into the Incube8r store on Saturday and I am really excited, I think this will be a great learning curve for me. I am a total lover of fragrance but of late have felt the growing demand for EO mixes. It gets me to thinking that maybe sales will be better with a mix of both Manufactured fragrance and Essential Oils on offer. To date I have only used Peppermint EO and Lime EO and love them both :-) I always come out of the shower feeling really invigorated after using my Hemp and Lime EO Soap.

This latest soap was supposed to be a swirl but the fragrance sped up on me and I ended up pretty much having to dump my black part on top of white that was quickly setting up. So I got a coathanger and just swirled it arond then sculptured the top a little..................wasn't sure what on earth it would look like but was quite pleased with the outcome................Going to make another batch up next week and hopefully I will be able to replicate this look.
