Sweet Scarlett Soap Co.

It's the start of the Holiday Season!  Here in KC, it has gotten very cold and damp but no snow yet.  Some if my friends have already finished - yes I said finished - their Christmas shopping.  Although I love them, these people are what I would consider somewhat on the crazy side, since I usually finish my shopping and wrapping approximately 24 hours before sundown Christmas Eve at best!  Maybe this year will be different........sigh.  I am definitely feeling the Holiday Cheer coming on so it's all good! I haven't been able to keep up with the photos as I would like to here, but I'm always checking on my friends and followers to see what y'all are up to.  This year I am hosting Thanksgiving and we expect 20-25 folks to come eat in our modest little home. 12 of these are simply our children and their spouses or SO's, which will make this very special for all of us.  I drove a hard bargain on this as installing a new stove and oven was part of my agre...

Getting ready to load my car for a craft event today.  Wow, large quantities of soap bars (and candles) can be super heavy!  And the candles, too - Oh my aching back.... :)

Hey Y'all!  I'm in the process of preparing for two events in November and still have so much to do it seems. I wanted to post these pictures of soap now available - especially since blogger is still not working correctly for text changes.  So here they are: "Zanzibar"  Moonstruck "Gold Rush" These soaps are all well suited for men or women - and celebrate the autumn season that's finally here. Zanzibar - Fo is BB Zanzibar spice - exactly what you would expect - lots of rich decadent spices with warm sandalwood tones.  This was my very first attempt at the "spoon swirl" method.  Moonstruck - FO - Sweetcakes Spiced Plum - again a rich and sexy fragrance with a touch of fruity goodness. Reminds me of a creepy misty moonlight sky, on a perfect Halloween night! Gold Rush - Fo blend - Sweetcakes Ginger Essence and Honey Beeswax.   Love the scent on this one! Yum  I have some more batches curing - will post later.  Tak...

My very first attempt at using embeds in cp soap - I'm really pleased with the outcome!  Scent is a blend I made up:  gingersnap cookie (WSP) orange essential oil (just a touch) and italian biscotti (NG).  It smells AMAZING and I'm hoping it will darken some.  :) Special thanks to Jenny at  "I'd Lather Be Soaping"  and her superb youtube tutorial about using embeds - Terrific video! Based on the responses I've gotten from the photo alone it looks like I'd better get busy making some more for holiday sales!!

Good morning and TGIF!!  I have some changes to my availability list, but am unable to make them as there is a problem with Google Blogger - hopefully in the process of being fixed soon. (Fifty Shades, Dark Side, Cedarwood Citrus and Herbal Mint are all sold out!)  Here are a few pics of a couple of new items - gotta get going to the 9-5. Add caption

This is just a quick note to let you all know that my storefront with Zaarly KC is coming to an end.  Sadly, I won't be working with them after October 15.  Anyone who has shopped or purchased from my Zaarly store, Thank You! and please contact me here or by email for any future purchases or product information.  I have also opened an Etsy store in the last month, and plan to have lots more listings in the near future.  That's all for now.  Obviously the pictures didn't happen this weekend :(  but are still on the horizon.

Time is severely getting away from me!  I have not posted as promised, nor do I have any great new photos to show anyone....I also haven't dusted anything in my house or mopped the wood floors.....woe is me.  I have been making lots of soap over the past few weeks but the luxury of photography time just hasn't been there.  If only I didn't have this pesky 8-5 job sucking the life out of me every day,  there's no telling what I could accomplish!  Sigh....   Enough of that -  big girl panties are now on!  Hoping to get photos up this weekend because I love how everything's turning out lately   :)  and I miss hearing from everyone!  So soon.............
