Not the best start to the week!!!

Well it's not been a great start to week. Yesterday i needed to made some batches of soap. I got everything ready only to find that my hotplate wasn't working. Now to most people this wouldn't be a problem, just pop it on the stove and then carry it to the workshop when the oils have melted. But we moved house 6 months ago and I still don't have a stove top that works. So no soap making for me yesterday....

Then today i've spent most of the morning moving buckets around the conservatory due to the terrible rain coming in the roof.

On a plus side 3 orders came in yesterday so all the wrapping and packing I did yesterday was not wasted. Just need to make more soap as the shelves are looking bare.

Although I should of been making soap i've been reading all kinds of soap making blogs. Some fantastic things going on in the soaping world. If your interested in soap making have a quick look at some of the blogs below.

Over 12 Months.... terrible

I'm not that good at the whole social networking thing, as you can probably tell. I'm not too bad at keeping facebook up to date but as you can see i'm terrible at blogging. I've been thinking about this today and was wondering if i should revive it. I'm going to try and be good and update it regularly. Saying that I am away in two weeks time but we'll cross that bridge when it comes.

I should fill in the gaps since the last postvreally. Where on earth to start.. Well, we've moved from South Uist to North Uist, and love the new house. I've got my own workshop, feeling up load of space in the house. Also it contains the mess when i'm "creating".. Our branding exercise was completed back in January just in time for the Glasgow trade fair. This was the first trade show we've done so it was very nerve wracking but exciting too. We met loads of lovely people and i'm glad to say some of them we are doing business with.. Hooray!!

We've booked to do the trade show again in September and will also be attending The Country Living fair in the SECC Glasgow in November too. If your in Glasgow come along and see us it's a fab place to get some lovely Christmas pressies. Sorry for using the C word in May...

As it's late and i think i've excelled myself tonight by posting i'll love you and leave you all, but i'll leave you a quick pic of the new soap labels..

Nite Nite all. xx
