Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with good cheer, Family and Friends. We spent a lovely day as well spoke on the phone to the family that didn't come home and then spent a lovely day with my friend Colleen. We sat around eating and talking for most of the day then as we are both doing our family history I was able to do some searches and found out some information that Colleen hadn't been able to find. It is such a good feeling when yu can fill in a gap doing family history.
In the soap room I am still labelling and wrapping cured soaps as well have some pure Goats Milk soaps to clean and trim then wrap these are going into bags that Colleen makes for Cancer patients that have to carry around drainage bottles. After they are finished I will be making lots of soap for restocking the shelves. I was really good in getting organised before christmas by ordering supplies before the warehouses close over the Christmas break. Just have to get in some jars and bottles now for when I start on the lotions and cremes.
One of the soaps I have just labelled and wrapped is the very popular Dandy Calendula Bar . This soap is all natural as I pick the dandelions from my backyard and also had some from a customer these are then infused in sunflower oil. I also have Olive Oil infused with Calendula flower petals. These oils are combined with other oils and some May Chang Essential Oil to make a lovely creamy soothing fresh scented soap. If you haven't tried it you really are missing out on a great soap. I have just collected todays flowers and they are drying in the dehydrator. Future batches may be a bit darker in color as the calendulas I have growing now have some quite orange flowers as well as the yellow.
Well I had better close as I have so much work I want to get done today and Ivan said something about mowing but I think cricket will win out over the mowing so I planned other things to do just in case. Just as well as I am flexible and can work anywhere anytime isn't it.
Stay safe on the roads if you are out and about also remember be kind to each other.
Blessings
