Soap Drought

What do I blog about when soap supplies have run dry...the last soap I made perhaps? Well here it is:


A small amount of honey and some finely ground oats went into these and they smell very sweet. The scent is a combination of honey and sweet orange. Good enough to eat. I've been using the same recipes recently and I can safely say I'm sticking to them for good.

I've been making soy wax candles instead of soap while I wait for my oil to arrive. The glass jars were due to be put in the recycling bin but instead I decided to make candles in them. Here's what they look like:

I Want To Eat Them...

But I can't *sigh* I am quite happy with the way the bubble wrap effect turned out and the scent reminds me of a gourmet dessert. I shall call these slices of sweet goodness, 'Honey Bee Goode'. It's a fairly appropriate name I think and if you could smell them I'm sure you'd agree. Three months into soaping and it's becoming clear I've caught the soap bug. Now I must make some more soap to wash away this filthy addiction.
