The New Soapery
Well the weather has been UGH and we’re still waiting for summer to show up. I’m still waiting for a brighter day to get some product photos done. In the meantime, I’ve been busily plugging away at making my space more organized and efficient. Thanks to a lovely donation from the Simpson clan I have been able to take the space to the next level…
That is about a quarter of the way through the project of moving all of my storage shelves, moving all of the family room type furniture out of the area, and rearranging all of my tables to take full use of the space. I have a lot more to do - although it may have been done if I had been able to move the couch by myself! I will hopefully be able to post pics of the finished room next week!
The other exciting thing is that I decided to make a “doggy bar” of soap to use on the often stinkalicious Atlas. I was so excited about them that I took some samples up to our pal Eddie at Ash Way Pet and he was so excited, and has asked for some product to sell in his shop! I’m still in the testing recipes phase, but I have ideas for several different bars for your pooch, and maybe even one for the brave bathing kitties as well.
I just poured a batch this morning that I’m very excited about so I cheated and peeked at it just now to pop a photo. It is basil and rosemary EOs, with a swirl design done with parsley powder - my first attempt at color. I’m sure that it will turn some hideous color brown when it’s done, but right now, so pretty!
