Thanks chickmchickie! I will keep that in mind in my search. Are you really from scotland! I always find it fascinating how people from somewhere else get to where they are! And 40 yrs of making soap! you should write a book! What great memories you must have with your grandmother. ANd please do keep us posted on how the lye making goes. My BIL said he wanted to try to make some. We burn wood, so there is no lack of materials! Your tarts look lovely. I wish we could sniff!!! How and where did you learn to make the cupcakes and icecream cones, if you don't mind telling. If you do, I understand!
I would love to know how you do the chai soap. I love that look! I've been searching on Camden-Grey site to learn about the diff clays and oil and their properties. Very interesting. Taking notes! Whew! I'm trying to keep my time on the computer limited, but not doing a very good at it!
Seems like I have spent most of the summer on here!
BTW, my sincere sympathies to you on the loss of your DD.
ANd Sooner, I will keep on searching! Thank you!
The chai is re batched i just made layers of the colours i wanted.. and just pour then on top.. I also make my own glycerin soap from scratch too but when layering with glycerin you need to spray alcohol between layers

I dont use lard now like in the old days.. people stil make them i just dont like using it..
I love making tarts/melts they smell up my whole house, not just one room.. i triple scent them cause they are melted and not use for skin so you can add more scent for a bigger scent throw..
Some cupcakes are CP.. and pipped on frosting, and some are glycerin ever a mold or pipped on as well
