WOW I want to make more !!

After alot of ummming and arghing i finally decided it was time to let go of my fear of lye and attempted my first batch of soap !

It went well i was very organised and had all of my ingredients weighed out ready to go and my book to hand from which i had taken my recipe ! But oops my thermometer exploded when i put it in the lye solution to check its temp ! so my drains got a good cleaning as i had to throw the solution away and start a new pot . . . decided to leave the solution outside to cool covered over of course . . . and then an hour later i added it to my oils, trace happened really quickly as i used a stick blender to mix it up, i poured it into my mould and wrapped it up, then shouted at the top of my voice . . .

" eeeeeeeeeeeee i've just made some soap " i also did a little jig hee hee i know i'm odd !

i've got some piccies to follow !

ooooo! here is my piccie sorry it's late !
