Happiness and Joy

Happiness and joy at casa Soap Wish, our order of new fragrance oils arrived from Bramble Berry! click here I ordered 16 different fragrances and they ALL smell fantastic:

Baby Rose, Apricot Freesia, Chamomile Bergamot, Green Tea, Island Coconut, Lavender, Oatmeal Milk and Honey, Pearberry, Plumeria, Red Apple, Turkish Mocha, Vanilla Select, Watermelon, White Tea & Ginger, Blackberry Sage, and Yuzu

I went out to dinner last nighte with some girlfriends and when I came home the man was already making soap with the Chamomile Bergamot!

I also ordered a few micas and my two new favorites are Merlot Sparkle and Aqua Pearl - both beautiful colors, one bold and sparkly and one soft and sweet.
I've got big plans for these fragrances and micas so keep on the lookout for new soaps.

More Magic from the Man

Here's a sneak peak at a new line of mosaic soaps the man has been working on...




There are several more waiting to be photographed, including a very cool red soap with black, green, and red checkerboard in the middle.

In the interest of balanced reporting, here's what the boy has been working on...

Three Soaps and a Scrub

I admit it, this is the lazy person's blog post. The boy was sick and I spent my time reading to him about warriors and battles so I never got around to writing a post. I did manage to work on a couple of new soaps and a new sugar scrub while the man finally cut the cool soap he made last week.

More New Soaps

If anyone needed further proof that the man is a talented soapmaker here are a few more of his creations. By the way, he's an awesome cook as well!

This one hasn't been cut yet, but I liked it so much I just had to share it!

As Promised - New Soaps!

More to come....

New Soaps On Their Way

We've been working away on some new soap designs (photos to come soon). I hope to have them listed tomorrow and I'll post some photos here as well.

Have you checked out Soapy Love? Debbie is the original Soapsicle designer and her soap designs are fantastic. We're major fans! She has a new magazine (ezine?)out now and it's chock full of great soapy ideas!

Speaking of which, I'm really thinking about starting a blog to showcase all the great bath and beauty products I've come across while researching soapmaking. I've been blown away by all the talent out there. Would anyone be interested in daily soap finds?

Good News - Bad News

The good news is that I still have the ability to do a split. The bad news is the event occurred on my ice covered driveway.

With flexibility not seen since the early eighties, I slooooowy slide down into an almost perfect split while attempting to get to the bottom of the driveway. This amazing feat was accomplished in front of the half the neighborhood waiting for the school bus. My grace is now legendary.

I have a lovely bruise on my chin as a result, and for the life of me I can't imagine how I bruised my chin.

Why was the driveway covered with ice? Well, let's just say the man organized the pantry beautifully that day. Needless to say, when he heard about my gymnastic ability the driveway was cleared in no time.
