Sadly this is the last of the soap tales for a while. The shelves are full. I am very happy to report, however that the last batch of Plain Ole Goat was a success. I kept everything at room temperature and remembered to mix the milk powder with the warm oils and not to use the heated incubator.
One afternoon The Mister was bored so I let him make two batches using the last of my summer scents. I was all soaped out so it was good to just sit back and give directions while he did all the work. I let him pick the colors he thought went with the scents.
He did a good job. He's not much of a cook but he didn't seem to have any trouble mixing up a decent batter.
He could plop.....
....and sprinkle with the best of them.
Not bad, huh? I was a little skeptical at first of his color choices.
He wanted to go big and bold but I think it all worked pretty well. I am very happy to say my summer soaps are all a wrap. Now I'm cleaning up that side of the room so I can finally get my sewing things out again.

Way to go to the Mister. He's a jack of all trades isn't he?

That Mister sure is talented!! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteWell, you are a good teacher! I think it is cool he wanted to soap; nice of you to give him free rein, too. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWell done Mister! The two of you are so talented!
ReplyDeleteOnce a teacher, always a teacher! Kudos to you and your Mister.
ReplyDeleteSo you got to put your teacher's hat back on for an afternoon. His soap looks wonderful. The blue/yellow combination instantly makes me think of the beach.
ReplyDeleteNow you've got yourself a well-trained helper!
ReplyDeleteI think his color choices were just great.
How very cool that you let him take the reigns! Good job letting go!!!!! Did I ask you if you wanted to have a tomato race?
ReplyDeletePretty soaps!
ReplyDeleteI just love that your Mister likes to create! He did a terrific job on the mixing and color choices!
ReplyDeleteThe Mister did an excellent job! I love the blue & yellow, although I'll admit to being skeptical at the plop stage. The finished soap is so beachy - I just love it!
