Soap Wish

We live in Northern Virginia, in a quiet suburb of Washington, DC. but close enough to enjoy all the wonderful things the city has to offer. One of my favorites is the annual Cherry Blossom Festival which celebrates the amazing trees around the Tidal Basin and East Potomac Park. This year they're anticipating the peak bloom to be April 1 - 4th. If you ever get a chance to visit DC during the bloom you will not regret it. The trees in bloom around the Tidal Basin (Jefferson Memorial) are one of the most beautiful things I've seen in nature, it snows blossoms there, and sitting under a canopy of those gorgeous blossoms is amazing.

The man is heavily involved in a new project that has left little time for soap designing. It's likely the soap of the day feature will have to become....Soap of the Whenever The Man has Time to Design. *sigh*

I've been trying my hand at some new designs as well so I'll post those for comments. I like one in particular but I'm testing whether or not it holds together in use. I should have some new ones to post in the next few days.

In the meantime, here are two Teddy Bears looking for a baby shower. :-)

There was a time that if I heard it, read it, saw it, or said it, I could recall it easily in detail at any time. I mean really recall it, the kind of recall that husbands hate..."it was 3 years ago on a Tuesday, standing over there wearing that t-shirt I hate, you said blah blah blah". I never needed to take notes or write reminders for myself.

Now, if I don't have a yellow sticky handy there's a 50-50 chance I'll forget. The whole point of this post is really to say that I think I might have already posted the circle soap cut into bars (below), and if so, I plead memory loss.

You know you're in trouble when your 8 year old recommends Ginkgo Biloba.

Mr. Soap Wish made a great soap awhile ago and we didn't have the heart to cut it, but now it's in bars and for sale in our Etsy shop. I like the happy colors, I hope you do too

You will likely note two things:

1. Soap of the Day has been Soap of Every Few Days

2. Lately, The Soap of the Every Few Days has been a different style

The scoop is Mr. Soap Wish has been otherwise occupied for several days which leaves me to design :-)

This little swirl is a great mixture of vanilla and green tea fragrances, ultramarine blue, gold mica, and green mica.
