Learning to Make Soap

Well, hell. I had been hoping that soap making would be a nice project for the gang at work for our upcoming fundraiser, but it appears that cold process soapmaking is not exactly safe. Hmm.

I suppose we'll be doing melt and pour. That will probably be enough, since my projects are generally overambitious, and we can just guarantee that if I make cold process soap I'll manage to spill lye on myself. Still, it's tempting, because the soap would be so much better.

I'm reading through the teach soap website, which is pretty cool.

Ambitions

I suppose I should acknowledge that I must have been feeling pretty ambitious last weekend to think I was going to set out and make some crocheted nudibranches. Don't get me wrong-- I absolutely still want to-- but this week kicked my butt. Sometimes the day job can be a bit of a grind, and every night when I got home this week, I pretty much fell over. I'm also working on some restock items.

I also have been thinking about the nudibranches, and I think I want to head down to the LYS and pick up some REALLY cool yarn to make them out of, rather than the usual Pattons. Hmmm....

Love this baby boot! Fantastic. At least, I think it's a baby boot-- I don't think it's a full size boot.

Currently floundering underneath day job work. Aiiieeee....
