Karen, I do hope you get a helper so that you don't burn yourself out. You bring joy to people with your soaps and your video's. My husband will sit down and watch your videos too, now. He wonders how you keep people from taking a bite :)
I bought this last week, is so lovely, shame you can't eat it!! I wanna a whole loaf of one of Karen's soaps one day soon! :) I highly recommend Cashmere Creme!
Need smellavision over here lol. Have you thought of trying silicone loaf molds? I have wood molds, but love my new silicone ones. They don't heat up as much as my wood molds do. BTW have you tried cutting straight down to slice instead of rocking the knife, that might be why your getting the white halo.Just a thought not sure if it would work lol.
@lovethyscent I have and would like to use the silicone ones - but I want really long ones, as i don't want to be making soap in 4 loafs all the time,
@EdensSecret1 check out etsy there are a few sellers on there that will do custom molds for you in China I think is called DIYmold or something like that ;)
Very nice you will love wood molds once John gets to making them, maybe a special soap for him would make him work faster..lol..you could name it Thunder & Lighting...lol
@lwaldo50 Glad you like it Linda, I think the one you got may have been a different smell, I have changed it, but not sure, you could have got the newer one.
Karen why don't you get a dowel rod (wooden stick) to fit right inside the top so when your done pouring your soap you can place the dowel right across the molds just above the soap, and it might help a little from the bowing your having until you can get your wooden soap molds made. If John would take a bubble bath, and use your love range products then he will be most happy to help you out. Maybe you should make a product in the construction range,
@ThreeSistersSoap Done it, but because it is already warped, it just slips when I place it in there, but hope you laughed when you watched me take it out, lol
Do you know that is anawesome idea - I do have a soap ready to make Johns soap, but he wants it to be called "Master of the House" or "The Master" (I know I know what are they like? just let him think that) but that name Limestone is an awesome name.
@EdensSecret1 I think it would be a great name for a men's soap. Since this is his trade. Or another name for a men's soap would be Bricks and Mortar or just Brix for another spelling. I knew a K9 dog (police dog named Brix). So Brix and Mortar is my suggestion. So if you do a men's soap then I already have placed my name in for name that soap LOL. Tell John the Master seems too strong for a soap name. Go by a trade and that seems more simple enough.
You must have been reading my mind. Just the other day I was thinking I should write you and ask the size of your soaps. Will your hubby be making your wood molds? I've made three wood ones for myself and I love working with them! No more bowing out!!! Keep up the good work!
...trust me, i and a group i'm in are in the same situation. we're doing so much all the time that it doesn't allow ppl regenerate and for us to take care of some "housekeeping" so to speak, for some business and creative issues that need to be address.
@expertonmyself Your absolutely right, after a good holiday or even a rest, we come up with even more idea's which is fab, I'm with you on that for sure.
your channel is coming up, ms. karen! there was an ad at the beginning of this one and i had to wait a few seconds before i could skip it to get to the vid. ms. karen's got ads - woot woot! *L* please consider taking 1 day off from soap a week. our bodies and minds need a break on a consistent basis, even from things we love. it more often than not, allows us to attend to some other things that actually will help/enhance those very things (ahem...your wooden soap molds).to be continued...
@expertonmyself WOOOHHOOOO - I've noticed more views too, I'm absolutely delighted. I promised that when I closed the shop that I would have Sundays off, but I am always behind with my work, and I hate that it's a bit of a panic of mine, I hate being late, all that sort of stuff, when I can afford a helper, then I'll do just that. xxx
@Handmadebubbles I know, it's not before time, I'm sick of doing these ones, I hate them now. Everytime someone asks about them i want to put them off, but I can't, they've done the job for me for a long time now.
Karen ,I love this soap ,and I could watch you cut,make and talk about soap all day long.My husband goes to work,and sometimes and pops back a few hours later and Im still watching!!
Obviously I cant do that every day,but he is convinced that I do!
@821fiona Awww thank you, it's funny because I NEVER thought I'd get into this YT thing or anything like this, but I remember thinking "I'd love to show my soap on YT, I wonder if anyone else does that, then I'd say there were only 5 of us doing it regularly and now, OMG there are hundreds, it's so hard to keep up with everyone, but it's so much fun, and as long as you watch I'll make them.
Hey Karen, the paper you are referring to here in the states is called parchment paper. The soaps look great!! Love the colors, and the look of the poppy seeds.
