happy carrot

For the past week or so, I've been whipping up batches of soap left, right and centre. There's a craft fair coming up on May 3, and I'm going to have a table! I'm quite excited. It's only for a single day, which is manageable, and I already have quite a few soaps ready. I needed to get some more cold process batches made so that they will have enough time to cure properly before the fair, so that's what I've been working on. P went to sleep early this evening, so I got two more batches made. The fair will be just before Mother's Day, so I made sure to whip up a nice batch of cold process Creamy Lavender, since everyone thinks that mothers like lavender. And I'll have a few gift sets, too! If you're in the Yarmouth area, the craft fair is Saturday, May 3, from 9-4 at the Fire Hall on Pleasant Street. Hope to see you there!

The bars above are my Happy Carrot Complexion Soap, which is made with organic carrot juice and organic grated carrot. It's cured and ready to go. It has howood essential oil in it, which gives it a faint health food store smell. I love it. And it's up in my Etsy shop today!

gassner goodies




I'm participating in my first soap swap, and received my first goodies in today's mail from Elizabeth at Gassner Custom Soaps. I was tickled find these three beauties - she sent an extra Baby Bee bonus bar for sweet Phillip, along with a Juicy Grapefruit Loofah bar and another moon soap (in the muslin bag; I'm not sure what the fragrance is). I'm especially fond of the Juicy Grapefruit Loofah bar. Anything citrus and grapefruit especially is my favourite type of scent. I also love a good scrub in the morning. I can't wait to try these out. You can see the Gassner Custom Soaps blog here. and her Etsy shop is here. Thanks so much, E!

Adam took this picture of P a few weeks ago. Definitely one of my favourites!

they're back!


The sun did indeed appear last evening, and Phillip went to bed early. So Adam and I scooted outside and took some pictures. It was sunny today, and that's the forecast for the week. I see more full clotheslines in my future.
