It is hot and dry here at the moment but we don't really feel it unless we go outside as we shut the house up and have fans in every room also air con if it gets really bad. Just as well I have Solar on my roof as my power bill would go up a lot as it is we generate heaps of power that goes back in the grid.
I get out in the garden early and make sure all the bird dishes are full and the garden is well watered then I am inside until the sun has almost disappeared.
This week has been fantastic in the soap room as I have been so busy and made so much soap for restocking my market boxes as well as getting the orders out. Now I have some cremes to make for other orders and restock as well. Just as well we have no Markets this weekend what with the weather and all this product work I have I don't have the time to go.
Have you put your name suggestion for my new soap yet if not better hurry as competition will be closing a week early as I have 2 Markets next weekend and want it on the shelves foor them. I am still favoring Nutty Camel and Goat Milk Bar but if you have a better one then please let me know. Nutty as I have used Cocnut and Macadamia Nut Milk as well as the Camel and Goat Milk so put your thinking caps on and come up with a better one if you can.
As well as being busy in the soap room I have been harvesting Dandelion flowers and drying them. I found a huge patch of them out the back in the cow paddock behind next doors place so I had to climb over the barbed wire and also the chicken wire then jump down to the ground and go pick them. There are so many flowering at the moment that I will be drying some flowers each day so that should guarantee me enough infused oil for all the year. I add infused Dandelion flowers to infused Calendula flowers to make this lovely soap and it is very popula. Have made one batch already and it should be ready for labelling in another couple of weeks.
Well I have to go now as the wind has come up and house needs to be shut up before the hot north westlies make it unbearable. Stay safe everyone and don't forget the fur kids and wildlife need to stay cool as well.
Blessings
