Hello!
Long day today – Workshop at Sharons with nine people!
So we made 10 batches of soap today!! (I did a demo batch at the end for those people still left 🙂 )
I made this loaf the other day so we could cut it in class – its nice to give the participants something tangible to do (before making their soap) – and cutting soap is soooooo satisfying!!
This one is Anjou Pear and Lemon Zest.
Loved the way it turned out!
I am actually getting low on soap!! I had fantastic sales at the church market the other weekend… sorry I can’t now remember if I told you!
Over $400 worth sold!
Plus I’ve had orders via a friend and a few via my gardening page (haha) so I’ve been wrapping and posting all week.
Trying to gather the last of what I have for what will be my final market this year, back at Elliot.
Nothing else will be ready now before Christmas.
So… I have a plan. If covid19 doesn’t make a crazy re appearance here, I’d really like to have a market stall up at Sheffield in March where they hold Steam Fest every year. (Link to a post here)
Its a three day event and very popular – and I roughly estimate I would need at least 600 bars of soap.
eek?
Obviously they need time to cure so now is the time to get myself cracking and onto it.
I plan to do several batches of the same kind of soap so its easier to control than my crazy mishmash of experiments.
And if all the same type of soap is kept in the same box, restocking will be easier during the event.
Anyway… thats my grand plan.
Hope you’ve all had a fabulous weekend.
Time for me to fall into bed!!
Cheers
