- Hi! I am a WAHM wanna be with way more ideas than time. In between work and family I like to explore my ideas, crafts, design, and anything else that strikes my fancy. Thanks for stopping by!

Ooops! I'm a day behind in posting our soap design of the day. The other night I was inspired by our new watermelon fragrance (from Bramble Berry) and I made a watermelon soap in a small round mold. The next morning I went downstairs and saw what the man made.....
Needless to say this design is far superior to my whimsical littl goodies! I'll post my photos later today so you can compare.

Today's soap design is a handcrafted massage bar. It isn't your average massage bar, this one has individually crafted balls embedded in the main bar which means you get the great massage feeling all the way through the bar.
We used oatmeal milk and honey for the fragrance and believe me, it smells good enough to eat!

SOAP DESIGN OF THE DAYToday's soap design is a little beauty the man came up with the other day. The design is somewhat reminiscent of ocean waves, but he wanted a more stylized effect. I think he hit the mark!
I mentioned in an earlier post that we just received an order of new fragrance oils from Bramble Berry, and in the order they included a free sample of Pomegranate and Black Currant. The man used that to scent this soap and let's just say I'm hooked. I love the scent, not too sweet and not too tart, just fresh and summery. I'm not very good at describing scents so I'll steal Bramble Berry's description:
Pomegranate and Black Currant: This fragrance is based on a delicious juice that is found at many health food stores. This blend has tart Pomegranate notes, enlivened by citrus zest and intertwined with juicy Black Currant notes with just some light hints of soft florals and leafy greens to give the fragrance depth. It is a surprisingly sweet blend, almost as if the Pomegranates and Black Currants were sugared prior to blending.
It smells fantastic, my unscientific testing found that both men and women like the scent.
Check back tomorrow for another new soap design!
Big excitement here are casa Soap Wish! Our soap was reviewed on the cool blog, Rare Bird Finds!
We love the blog, lots of really unique finds, and we're thrilled to be included.

Soap of the Day - Blue Squared Mosaic Soap
I'm cheating a bit here, this is a new design, but it's one we have in our shop already. I happen to love it, it looks amazing in person, and I can't resist a chance to show it off a bit. It smells as good as it looks as well, with a fresh "rain" scent.

Soap of the Day - Orange and Cream Dream
I like the idea of this soap but the execution is still a bit off. I'll be making it again and I'll post the new version when it's complete. In the meantime, it will have to do as the soap design of the day. :-)
Juvie
So I'm driving the boy home from fencing class and he asks me:
"Do you go to court if you go to juvie?"
He's eight, what does he know about juvenile hall? He informed me that e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e knows about juvie.
