Just catching up on everything today- so sorry to hear about your chickens! We had a coon in the coop too. SO had to shoot it since it climbed out and went up a tree and we had to go to work and couldn't sit and watch all day while coon-proofing the coop. Well, hopefully coon proofing the coop...

I only make 2 lb batches, so my soap would have to be a mix of scents from different batches. But it sounds like fun!

That stinks about the breakers- but at least they cut out before they caught fire! Our house had one breaker in the kitchen. For all the outlets, lights and and refrigerator. You couldn't run the coffee maker and the microwave (or anything else) at once or you would trip the breaker. We finally...

:( I havent caught up with what has been going on lately here. I have to say, I have quit and come back since there isn't anywhere else you can get the kind of information you can find here! (and you are part of it- don't be gone too terribly long ;) )

That's so great about visiting a nursing home with a dog- I'm sure everyone loves the pet therapy! Just a quick question- when you move your plants inside for the winter, where the heck do you put them? Do you have a lot of south facing windows? I have 3 avocado trees and 2 large pots of...

I have 2 silicone bought molds for oval bars and square bars with a nice raised edge. And I have one that I bought that has since been discontinued because the plastic it was made out of is too hard to pop the soap out of, but it makes half-cylindrical bars that I love to use. Great shape- I...

I dump my coffee grounds around the roses because my grandmother always did, and she had the most amazing roses- even way up in Erie Pa. I also have a worm bin, but it is greatly overstated how much food they can actually compost. Still, the hens like the worm treats. :D I do hate wasted food...

Oh, my.... :th

Such great ideas! I can't wait to see pictures of all your set up :D

We paid $200 for a dry split hardwood cord dumped in the yard off the trailer. We had to stack it ourselves. But, it is really good wood and we didn't have to cut it ourselves. :D We have a lot of trees down in the woods that if we had the time we could cut up. I may try to get "someone" to get...

I think I tried every kind of kitty litter possible since I also hated the clumping litter. I also had ferrets that used a litter pan. I transitioned them over to the wood pelleted bedding that disintegrates to sawdust as it gets wet. I would pick out the poop, sift out the pellets that were...

That's a good idea- it would be cool to see what different recipes make.

Yeah! Glad you made it safely and are settling in. :D

How many days a week is it open? Can you keep up your stock if it does sell well?

Hmm. I'd bet sunsaver or someone else could jury rig up something that would use human power on a bike to re-charge batteries. There are some pretty handy people on here. How hard could it be?

{{hugs}} and condolences. I'm sure you were a blessing to her and your visits made her days brighter.

It should be- it's 4 weeks. And if you aren't sure, add a note to age it when it arrives. I used to do that with my family that I send soap to before I built up a backlog of cured soap!

I looked at Marianne's recipe link and immediately thought coconut oil, too. And dried cranberries. BB- when you soak your oatmeal how much longer does it take to dry? I have read some of your links about soaking grains, but it just seems to be a lot of work. Does it really make a difference if...

Oooh, yum. Rice Krispie treats :drool I haven't made them since the kids were little many years ago. Marshmallow and granola... the new yum. :D

So, you send your soap to the person below you on the list and the person above you sends you a soap? (I've never figured out how most swaps work :hu unless someone tells me specifically what I am supposed to do.)
