Merry Christmas from our family to yours! I hope everyone has been keeping warm these past couple of days!
Got to love leftover pumpkins!
Hoping everyone is staying warm with all these cold temperatures coming our way!
This is one of my favorite soaps to make, and in order to make it, I have to have other pieces of all the other soaps that we make.
When we first started making soaps, we had a ton of scrap ends from each loaf, and even though we use it daily, we wasn't putting a dent in our pile of soap at all.
That's why we started making "No Scrap Left Behind" Soap! All of the scrap ends are grated, and then put into a whole new loaf all its own. That's why every single bar can look different as seen in the second picture.
If you have any allergies, let us know and we'll check our other bar labels to make sure it's safe for you to use!
The scrap ends in the first picture will be used for another loaf when I have the curing space!
More loaves are being cut today! I think I am about halfway stocked up now for next season when the markets open!
๐ฅ ๐ฏ
Our Oatmeal, Milk and Honey bars are off to the curing racks! I've got to get in gear and make more!
๐ฅ ๐ฏ
Another batch of soap, and it's the #1 seller! I was able to make 2 loaves last night, and I'll try to make 2 more today.
Oatmeal, Milk and Honey ๐ฏ
This is the first one I learned to make when I first began, and I absolutely love it's fragrance and lather.
A custom order ready to be delivered this evening. Lemon Meringue candles and Coffee and Cream soap!

"Black Goat" is off to the curing racks!
๐ ๐
Working on another custom order this morning, and it's one of my favorites! ๐
Lemon Meringue!
3 more loaves finished tonight and will be cut tomorrow. This one is our "Black Goat of the Family". It's named that because it is our only goats milk soap, and I just thought that name was adorable!
๐ ๐
Customs from last night are now ready for packaging and then delivery! The house smells amazing!
Pumpkin Spice ๐
Zucchini Bread ๐ฅ
One of our favorite ones to make simply because we get to decorate it with coffee beans after we pour the wax!
Hazelnut Coffee โ๏ธ
It is always amazing to see new life forming.
๐ฃ
More soap packaged up tonight! Lemon Poppyseed... my favorite one! I'm slowly getting stocked up on everything for the spring.
๐ ๐ ๐
Our Eucalyptus Spearmint cold process soap is now back in stock. This one was super popular and we sold out quick! We've got 30 packaged up this evening and will do the other 30 tomorrow.
I'm not a patient person at all... and that's why I'm up at almost 1 am messing with this soap ๐คฃ IT WORKED!!!
Every mothers day weekend, we give away bars of soap, and normally we just give away soaps that weren't sold from the previous year, but I really wanted to do something different for next year. Yep it's a plain jane soap, but I'm all giddy that the embed heart mold worked. I haven't ever used one before so this was something new for me to try. I was afraid I'd pour the bulk too hot and that would melt it, but I did good this time.
Each picture is from each separate loaf (I made 3 loaves to start). Placement isn't exact on each one, but it's homemade.. it's supposed to be imperfect!
Since this worked, another big batch will start later this evening. I want to have enough for both markets, so I'll definitely need to make more than the 30 bars I just cut. And to make special labels for them!
๐๐๐
Last two customs finished! Zucchini Bread and Pumpkin Pecan Waffle. The kitchen smells amazing!
Working on a few customs this evening for Christmas orders. Both of these are Zucchini Bread, and a few more large ones after this!
This fragrance has really grown on me, and I'll definitely always carry it!
Snack cake inspired earrings! $8
These are very light weight!
Yep we have a big tree, but I also love my small chicken tree!
๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ
6 pairs of quail egg earrings finally ready for packaging! As the winter goes on, I'll match up and make more sets. We're already itching for the markets to open back up!
๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Christmas earrings I have available. I only have one of each except the Christmas tree cake ones. Christmas tree cakes are $8 or 2 for $14. All the others are $6 or 2 for $10. Thank you all for all your support!
Has been a great day! Added a few more hens to the flock and checking out our young frizzle rooster. Hoping he will make some cute frizzle babies next year!
Christmas tree cake earrings! Iโm so excited about these. I have 20 pair available. They are $8 a pair or 2 for $14. First come first serve!
Happy early Thanksgiving from my flock to yours!

Last soap post for a little while because my curing racks are officially full (unless I find a spot to add more somehow).
"No Scrap Left Behind"
I use all the Scrap ends from all the bars we make, grate them up, and add then altogether to make a completely new bar. This way, nothing ever goes to waste!
Activated Charcoal and Lavender Cold Process Soap... our next batch off to the curing racks!
After I finish the next batch of this fragrance, my curing racks will be full and I'll have to wait until all of these are fully cured so I can make more! ๐ตโ๐ซ Hurry up January!
Finally all the garlic is in the ground, and some I planted a few weeks ago is starting to sprout. It'll die back with the first hard frost and come back next spring, but I'm glad to see it's growing so hopefully we'll have it home grown next year!

Finishing up garlic bulb planting this evening. I'm hoping they do well since we've never tried to grow our own before.
