I have enjoyed spending time with my kids and grandkids the last 5 weeks. I love watching them grow and they give the best hugs. I’m such a lucky mom and grandmother. It’s always hard when they leave, so I’m filling my time with crafting, my second love. I’m working on some fun copper wrapped jewelry pieces, which I haven’t done in a very long time. I missed making soap! So I’m making some of my favorites, Lavender Sage, Lemon Verbena, Coffee Shop, Almond Macaroon fragrances, tallow, lard and some goat milk soaps. I love adding some of my favorite ingredients such as kaolin clay, colloidal oatmeal, coconut milk, honey and vitamin e to give it that special luxurious touch. Some may darken as they cure. Just in time for those fall vibes. I just love the way they feel on your skin so moisturizing and creamy. I’m looking forward to creating some Pumpkin Spice, Angora Sweater, Fraser Fir and a few new fragrances. Till then I’m enjoying every last minute of summer!
