the scent of soap


This is what my kitchen table looks like.  3 of the batches of soap I made this last week, in addition to the lavender batch.  I made lemon grass soap and poured a few in a floral pattern, along with some big family sized bars.  I also poured a batch of mint, and the brown soap is cinnamon oatmeal.  This one I may save for early Fall.  I made it simply because I had cinnamon essential oil, I also played around with a little swirling to see how it looked.  I like the lemon grass and lavender for this time of year. 

My whole house smells like a soap factory, it is one of the wonderful benefits of making soap, the house smells so good, not overpowering just delicious, we're all enjoying it.  I took these pictures and now have to clear off the table so we can eat dinner tonight.

Thanks Homemade Alaska! I'll be having a drawing for some in a few weeks when they're cured.

Hello from Alberta, Canada! I just found your blog and I LOVE it :) Your soap is absolutely stunning. I have all the ingredients on hand now and plan to make some with my daughter in the very near future - thanks for the inspiration!
