It's been a long while since I posted here. I'm still writing, but recently I rediscovered my love of crafts. I have many hobbies and I added to the list about six months ago. I was watching a segment of Home and Family on the Hallmark Channel. They had a woman on who made soap. After I finished viewing the segment, I thought, "I can do that."
So I started getting the equipment and ingredients, most of them are sold in the grocery or hardware store. After watching a large number of YouTube videos, I took the plunge and made my first batch.
They smell like lemon and I love them. I've made several batches since then. This week, with having to stay inside as much as possible, I made two batches.
This one is called the Taiwan Swirl. Mine doesn't look like the videos I watched, but it's close and I'm proud of it. Doesn't it look good enough to eat? The scent I used is called Seventh Heaven and they do smell heavenly.
After the Taiwan swirl, I kept thinking of another video I'd watched and decided to try to duplicate the technique. I got pretty close. The colors aren't what I expected, but I love them. They remind me of a Mexican Festival. Their scent is Cotton Candy. Can't you just smell it in the air and remember all the carnivals and theme parks you went to?
What are you doing while you spend many hours indoors?
Enjoy.
