I made home made lavender soap with the girls and butter with the son that agreed to so it! :D I purchased goats milk soap base from Michael's. We melted it in the microwave and added lavender oil and tiny pieces of lavender. I then poured it into a foil lined loaf pan and let it cool. Once cooled I cut it and wrapped it in pretty packaging. I just tore up some tissue paper and used twine to tie on a prig of lavender.
To make the butter I poured some heavy cream into a jar with a marble and vigorously shook it until it separated. My son tried for a few minutes but apparetnly his arm got sore! I tried to squeeze out as much juice as I could and added some salt-it helps preserve it and adds a little flava flava! I will use the buttermilk left over for pancakes tomorrow morning! It is GOOD!
I can almost smell the lavender and I'll bet that your home has a wonderful and relaxing aroma.
ReplyDeleteI love how you packaged your soap, too. That is very creative and stunning too boot :)
Have a lovely week.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)

ReplyDeleteI am so excited to have found your blog! I am in love with lavender and have bought some lavender soaps but I end up never using them because I don't want to use any up! Now I can make my own (or at least try) and finally get to use lavender soap! I am new to the blog world so if you have a moment please visit my site and follow if you're so inclined! Thanks so much and I look forward to visiting you often!
