Christmas Is Coming ....

... and I'm up to my elbows in soap! Here are a couple of things I've been working on:

 A fresh batch of Winter Woods soap, made this morning.

 It was almost too late for me to squeeze these in for Christmas! Lots of cupcakes and two big cakes, scented with lemongrass essential oil. You can't see from the photo but the base of these is a pale yellow. I think they'll look cute when I unmould them later in the week.

This was a wholesale order I packed today ... looking at it makes my fingers ache, thinking of all the wrapping! Most of these are custom soaps, the one in the foreground is an all-natural Candy Cane soap (peppermint & spearmint) and next to those is Santa's Spruce (lavender, cedar, spruce, fir & pine). 

What are you working on this week?

  3. Looks great Erin! I never can resist your photos of lined up soap. Are you still doing the Kirribilli Markets?

  4. Donna - thank you!

    Emma - no I haven't been the Kirribilli markets for a while. I miss them! I'm committed to do the Bondi markets every Sunday so they kind of clash.
