I am really enjoying my week so far. It's been busy, but it's a normal kind of busy and that I can take delight in. I've made a start on my "To Do" list for the company that we have coming in a couple of weeks and have also kept up fairly well with our "day to day" things (like the never ending laundry :).
Today's plan is to make more goat's milk soap. I made some last week and am planning to make a couple of batches today as well since I sold the last of what I already had on hand yesterday. (I did keep a few bars for my family).
Soapmaking is one of those things that I really enjoy doing. I enjoy playing around with new recipes and learning what works and what doesn't. I've been learning to add herbs and colorants to some of my soaps, since I have had a few people request that and it's been fun. Some of my "experiments" have turned out well and some just haven't, but they're all fun.
I usually make my experimental batches in a smaller (one pound) quantity, so that there is not as much waste if it flops. It's fairly easy to adapt the recipes to larger quantities later using http://www.soapcalc.net/ if the recipe is one I want to continue making.
Today I will making a plain, unscented, goat's milk soap, because I am totally out and I have a few people that really like it for their children dealing with eczema. I also plan to make the same recipe with Lavender scent simply because I like it :)
Well, I guess if I don't get started, I won't get finished so time to go. I hope all of you are enjoying life as much as I am at the moment!
