Where did the Easter Holidays go!!!

Is it just me or did that Easter school break go by really fast. Not that i'm saying i'd like to repeat it or anything but it did seem to zoom by. That could also be down to my age but we won't go into that. So school starts back tomorrow which by rights would leave me to a very creative week.... But as usual things haven't gone to plan and i'm off to Inverness & Glasgow instead...So what should of been a very productive time will now not be. But on the plus side i have no doubt it will be an enjoyable one instead.

Fingers crossed i'll have a new PC so i can finally retire this one to the place it should of gone too a very long time ago. Not that i'm going to shout about it as it's been working ok and if it figures out the fact it may be heading for retirement it is bound to get it's revenge somehow.

I'm going to make a promise too. I'm not big on them so think yourselves as lucky... I promise to post some pictures of lovely new soaps when i'm back from the mainland.. There i said it and i mean it. I've been meaning to do it for ages but due to PC probelms i've been unable too...

Well thats me for a week or two, so i'm off to finish the last of the chocolate eggs and put my feet up before my trip tomorrow. Fingers crossed the sun still shines tomorrow and the wind stays calm for the ferry. Have fun and catch you all soon. xx

And finally........ relax

I know it's been a very long time since i last posted but it's not like I've been doing nothing since then. My first trip away was great fun and very informative. I learnt how to create some lovely effects with glycerin soap. I also brought loads of lovely Mica's.


I have been playing with them and can confirm the colours are beautiful...

I've also been to Cumbria, Where a group of soap makers all met up to have a fun experimental soapy weekend. Another bonus to this was the heaps of samples we all got to bring home. I'm still covering myself in the body butters and balms we made and I'm loving them all.

Last weekend was the wedding fare at the Cabarfeidh Hotel in Stornoway. It was a lovely day which raised nearly £500 for charity. Everything from wedding dresses to inflatable sumo suits could be found. Although it was a long day it was well worth it. My friend and I went to the local Chinese for a meal which was a real treat. I can't remember my last Chinese meal it was soooooo long ago.

Anyway hopefully soon i'll have some lovely new products to post about. I'm nearly finished them and hope to have started on the packaging soon.

If i can work out how to post pictures I'll hopefuly manage to put some up of the beautiful barn in Cumbria and our soapy creations..

Ummm! Harder than i thought.

Well the vigilant amongst you will notice that so far as blogging goes I'm not the best. I'm good at phoning friends and keeping in touch but i just keep forgetting to update my blog. I love looking at other lovely blogs, not just the soap making ones but anything that's handmade. I'm just rubbish at updating my own. But stick with me and i promise I'll get better.

I'm actually going away tomorrow, which i have to say I'm thoroughly looking forward too. This was a trip that was planned at the beginning of January but due to the fact that the UK was frozen solid the only place i got to was Benbecula airport for the day. Whilst Benbecula is very pretty, it's wasn't in my plan to spend the whole day there. I have to say the staff were very nice and kept us fed and watered but there was a lot of unhappy people who never managed to go anywhere other than home again...

I'm off to Huddersfield for a few days and hopefully will come back with lots of exciting news on soap and all things bubbly.. fingers crossed..x

Right, well that's it for today. I better start to get organized for my long awaited trip tomorrow. But after a big roast dinner I only really want to sit on the sofa with a large glass of wine.... Oh well......No rest for the wicked
