There was a time in my life when Jasmine was growing outside my bedroom window. At night it seemed to give off the most wonderful fragrance. I would drift off to sleep with that beautiful smell drifting through the window. Lebermuth had the perfect Jasmine fragrance oil to evoke those memories. I a...

None of us are born knowing everything. We had to learn everything we know, little by little. As a baby we had to learn how to crawl before we could walk. We had to learn how to use a spoon to eat. We had to learn how to tie our shoe laces, ride a bicycle and so forth. Our first attempts at doing ...

One of the legends of Kokopelli says that he travels from village to village, blowing his flute and changing Winter into Spring. When I made this soap I think I heard the magic of his song. In honor of the beginning of Spring and as a tribute to Kokopelli I made this cold processed soap using Thai C...

A year has passed, I had a birthday a couple of months ago and a new decade is staring me in the face. True reflections and changes I need to make in my life don't start in January. I've found that if I'm honest with myself and want to make a serious impact; the new year starts with my birthday. The...

This Spring I think I'll open a restaurant. It will not be like any restaurant you've ever seen. I'll serve up the finest of foods. All plant based of course, with such delightful dishes that even the most finicky eater will relish with pure joy. There will never be a dish left unfinished. This will...

This soap is made using Rhassoul clay and a fragrance from ChemEssence that reminds me of Ivory soap, with the faint hint of honeysuckle. Too bad it didn't come out white as snow.

These sweet little beauties were made using Peppermint essential oil from Essential Wholesale and Lebermuth. The Chocolate fragrance oil is from Sweetcakes. No colorant was used. Color comes from the reaction of the fragrance oil in the soaping pot. So yummy, smells like a York Peppermint Patty.

One of my friends commissioned me to make this Lavender Oatmeal soap for her. I had never mixed the two but it turned out great . Now I'm thinking of adding it to my regular collection. There are no colorants, just oatmeal, lavender flowers and lavender essential oils from Lebermuth and Essential Wh...

This soap reminds me so much of Christmas. I used a little Peppermint Essential Oil from Lebermuth, a dash of Spearmint Essential Oil from Essential Wholesale and a fragrance oil from BrambleBerry called Sleigh Ride which smells just like those minty hard candies I'd get in my Christmas stocking.

I love doing holiday themed workshops with children. Here are some little brown bears we made using melt & pour soap. I had them color the nose and decorate . I gave them stockings and asked if they'd like to write Santa a letter. One little girl asked me if she had been bad would Santa still stop a...

When I conduct my children's workshops I dare not let them make soap from scratch. We have fun crafting with melt & pour. These are some of the soaps I had them create in a recent workshop. We added tree embeds to clear soap. Aren't they cute?

These are truly angelic soaps. A part of the assortment that I'm doing for Christmas Baskets. It is of course CP soap and fragranced with non discoloring vanilla from Lebermuth.

The process of making liquid soap is a bit more complicated than making bar soap but it is far more fun and interesting. The big difference is that bar soap is made using sodium hydroxide and to make liquid soap you must use potassium hydroxide. There are also more steps involved in making liquid s...

It took me a few years to find a use for these cute little soap molds from BrambleBerry but I did. The result is this fine cold processed soap, made using ground loofah & pureed zucchini. Those little mounds feel so good when you rub it on your body. The added bonus is the great smelling fragrance o...

I started to experiment making my cp soaps in individual molds and now I'm having a fun time making all kinds of lovely soap. These snow flakes are just a few of the things I'm doing for Christmas. I used vanilla fragrance from Lebermuth to give them their delicious aroma.

Last month I attended a craft festival where I saw an old fashioned, black & white television set on display. It's so amazing to realize how far we've come. Television was first introduced in April of 1939 at the NY World's Fair held here in Flushing Meadow, Queens, NY. Ten years after that more tha...

I'm sure everyone has heard The Legend of The Four Thieves but in case you haven't. The legend is that during the Bubonic Plague in Europe the homes of stricken or dead people were robbed. It seems that the people who committed the theft didn't get sick. When they(four alchemist)were caught and ask...
