My fingers and arms are ruined! They itch so bad. I need to get some of those thin plastic gloves and wear long sleeves now to pick turnip greens. They just kill me! My arms are all red and rashy and so itchy. I hate picking turnip greens but I love them! Green beans and okra do the same thing to me. And my legs too, since I wear shorts to pick. But not anymore. Long sleeves and gloves from now on.
I get to bring my soap to market tomorrow! There are 2 or 3 others that have been there all summer that sell soap, but usually one is there all the time. So I just got an email saying the other one won't be there so I could bring mine. I have been making more soap every week, getting ready for the Holiday Market in Dec. I love making soap. It's always a guessing game to see if it turned out and hardened. Yesterday, I used a plastic container that had cinnamon rolls in it. NOT a good idea to pour hot lye soap into a thin cheap plastic container for a mold. When I checked on it last night, it had came out of the melted mold, but was hard. So I will have some rustic Pumpkin SPice soap. Ya live and learn, right?
Have you looked into selling to a local co-op grocery type store? You could look to sell your soap online at places like etsy.com as well. I have a friend who sells there. http://gonudesoap.com/
Hey Kris, I have not been on in a while. I see things are looking better for you. I am so happy to hear that. Keep up the good work. Spring will be here before you know it and your garden will be blooming big time.
