Trip down memory lane

The giant blob!

Been making bath bombs this week and it reminds me of all the things I messed up in the beginning when I was trying to learn how to make them.

One I made ended up turning into the giant blob and took up a whole cookie sheet!

The bath bombs still give me trouble some days but never that bad at least.

Picture I took while at the Chile Festival craft show this weekend.

Chile Festival went pretty good. The attendance was way down from the year before but my sales were still good considering the lower crowd. Sure was a long weekend though 6 am- 11 pm sure made me tired!

One more outdoor show left which is this weekend and it is in my home town and only about 1 block from my house. So come to Penrose, CO Apple Day on Saturday, they even give out a free slice of apple pie to everyone.

bath bomb hell

All the rough spots on the above bomb are what happen when you are in the middle of making some and it starts to rain. The bath bombs suck all the humidity out of the air GRR!

A few of the ones going out in the order. Finally worked!

Well I had a rough week in making bath bombs. I had a large order in and figures it decided to rain everyday! Humid days=bad bath bombs.

We have been at dust bowl levels around here for months and then all of a sudden rain every day all week. Maybe I should have been trying to make bath bombs sooner so we could get more rain around here?

Glad to report there was no rain on Friday so I finally completed and shipped the order.

bath bombs!

The show this weekend was fair it was mainly a Car Show that also had a small craft show area. They placed all the craft tents out of the direct foot traffic so I felt that kept some people from coming over. Booth fee wasn't very high and I got a few new customers so you really can't beat that I guess.

Bath Bombs were moving pretty good this weekend and the new ones in Zombie Punch moved the best. So tonight since I wasn't in the mood to make soap tough I really need to make some I decided to make bath bombs. Did some in Zombie Punch, Lavender, and Black Raspberry Vanilla.

Tomorrow night I should be setting up the photo area and getting some good pictures of all these bath bombs as well as pictures of my new soaps that are scented in Vanilla Bean and Leather.

new Soap trailer and banner

So ended up getting a trailer today to haul all my soap stuff in since I had a car and a truck packed full. This will also help keep the rain off things(it rained last show) and make it so two vehicles don't have to be taken to shows that are longer distance.

My new banner came by UPS today this one is 10 feet x 2 feet and is for the outside top of the tent. Trying to do more things to bring attention to my booth and thought this might help. Sorry for the not so great picture of that one but it is raining outside at the moment :P

Been working on Bath Bombs this week. The pictured ones are Zombie Punch and 7-up. Have some in Summer Medley and Whipped Cream almost set up and tonight have to decide which two scents I will make next.

Really been digging the Zombie Punch scent I think it is the fact that the base of it is papaya and it has me thinking I might need to make a soap that is straight papaya. Too bad I decided this after I just placed my supply order!

Anyone else like Papaya?

Chocolate Bath Bombs

Made a few bath bombs for an order tonight one set in Chocolate and the other set is Summer Medley(very light green color). I have found that using a box with shipping peanuts works best not to get a flat side while the bombs are drying. :)

Also posting the Wildberry Zinger Tea ball soap that I made over the weekend. Need to get the photo area up and get some good pictures of those still.

I have 2 new soap molds coming in the next day or so then I will be working on some new designs and scents. I am trying to keep working on using up all the fragrance oils I have on hand.
