It's a Busy Time! What I'm Working ON :-) 2016-12-23


Yes, I know, it's almost Christmas!  And I'm so excited for the holidays!

But, at the same time, I'm so busy working to get everything set up and ready to open my business - KCherie' Handcrafted Bath and Body.   Don't you just love my new business logo?  I wanted something a little more simple - yet, at the same time, I wanted it to reflect all aspects of my business and the meaning of "Cherie'", which is "beloved".

My business will primarily be targeted toward the wholesale market but I will still retail some items on my website as well as my Etsy site.   The Etsy site will be for miscellaneous items (end pieces, small test batches, and some "over pours" that will be in cute shapes).  

Today I am working on a couple of items before I get started on soapmaking. 

First, I'm infusing candelula flowers in olive oil so I'll be able to make some "Puppy Paw Protector" wax.


I just finished rebatching a loaf of soap that seized on me - but the rebatch turned out really nice I think :-)


The original soap loaf was white with yellow, pink and green swirls (well, I was going to try to do swirls).   So I just added additional mica to the rebatch and made it purple - I used Nuture Soaps "Purple Vibrance" and then added a little bit of sparkly glitter to the top :-)

And lastly, I'm rebatching a loaf of 100% Olive Oil Castille soap.  I added just a bit too much sodium lactate (I should have used 1/2 the amount that it did) and it made the soap crumbly... so, let's see if a rebatch will do the trick.  So far it's looking pretty good in the crock pot!
