.... it's nice to know that someone else has soap "lying around" in their bedroom.... I thought I was the only one who stored soap there while waiting for it to cure. _____ From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Louise Shing Sent: Saturday, 22 May 2010 3:36 p.m. To: soapcraft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [soapcraft] Re: Next Project Liz It's always such a good feeling when there is lots of soap around (in my opinion). Our bedroom is smelling lovely and fragrant like flowers I really like that and it's always so exciting trying out new equipment and even better when it works well.

They apparently need to be cut really soon otherwise there is no hope as they harden really quickly. It's another one on my list. Yesterday I made heaps of soap - the racks are full always a good feeling. Used a new (secondhand) mould and new (also secondhand) log cutter - haven't quite got the volume of soap to mould ratio right, but am quite pleased with how the new equipment performed. Hoping to try beer soap tomorrow - simmered the beer last night and left in the fridge overnight to go flat. I'll post a pic when I make it.

Hope you feel better Ross. Louise on 22/5/10 9:57 AM, Liz Brook at liz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: Hi Ross, Sorry to hear you are not well, hopefully you have some good potent pain relief? As for the soap swap - well I'm easy really. I haven't tried sugar soap, salt soap, multi coloured soap, layered, (well once), imbeds, (just once) - I'm happy to go with the majority. Not helpful perhaps - well then I'd like to try a salt soap most of all. Take care and all 'get well vibes' being sent your way!

Next Step: Let's come up with a theme. I would prefer something very specific Once we have a theme, then I will collect names of those interpreted in participating.
