Great Things…
…are coming to those who wait! Thankfully, I have been feeling better every day! Yesterday, I made my first gradient soap and put it in a warm oven (it’s that CPOP method I was telling you about that Elle used). It forces the soap into a hard gel phase very quickly, so more of the liquid evaporates. I was able to cut it that night, and it should cure faster as well. This should come in handy as I have signed up to do a local craft show on February 18th, sponsored by a local high school football booster club. I haven’t had time to take photos of this soap yet, so that’s the first thing to look forward to.
Today, my friend Cynthie came over and spent the day helping me make videos. I made two different soaps, plus some Valentines bubble bath in the same fragrance as the South Seas Siren soap. Lots of footage to go through and edit, so there are three more things to look forward to!
Hope you are all having a great week! I’d love to hear about your projects as well!

Amy,
It sounds like you have been busy. I’ve been making foaming bath salts, lip balm and working on some perfumes. My sister has been wanting to make a snow soap since it snowed a week ago here so that is in the works also.
Looking forward to the video! Glad you’re feeling better.
Glad to see you are feeling better. I use the CPOP method and love the fast results. Thanks to you, I am going to practice the in the pot swirls this weekend…wish me luck!
Wow, Michelle – you’ve really been busy too! We’ve had such a mild winter this year – only a few dustings of snow so far. Not that I mind that much! Snow soap sounds like a good way to make the best of your conditions – very fun!!
Thanks, Celine! I’m planning to do a lot of editing today. Need to cut those soaps!
@Ingrid – I was never able to make CPOP soap before because my enormously long molds didn’t fit in my oven!! I traded a big slab mold for three smaller log molds last year, and didn’t even think about trying CPOP until this week – now I’m very happy with it! Best of luck on your ITP swirls – I know you can do it!!
