New Summer Soaps! New Scent!

I decided to try to make some striped soap, red white and blue for the 4th of July! Here's my 2nd effort. It's wild berry scented and smells good enough to eat!


Then I decided to mix some colors to make some berry colored flowers with that new wild berry scent. They smell so good!!!

Star soaps are a dollar each with a minimum three-dollar order.


Summer flowers are two dollars each with a minimum four-dollar order. I can make lots of different colors if you want to coordinate soaps with your washroom. :-)

Animal Pins and a Star!

I made a new batch of pins. I've made food pins and flower pins, and now I'm making animal pins. They are $3 apiece and make great one-of-a-kind gifts too! (I hope people will want to buy my pins, soaps, and peanut brittle for Christmas. ☺ )

Fun Bath Soaps!

Today I made fun bath soap! These are blue with soap glitter and scented with pine. There is a fish peeking out of one, and a frog peeking out of the other. They are for a little boy. I had some leftover soap, so I made two little fish soaps. 

Latest Pretty Soap - "Heart of Gold"

I made a beautiful new soap this week! It has a lavender vanilla scent. It's 3.6 ounces. I've got two pictures; one of the soap, and one of it packaged in my hand so you can see the size of it. I will sell Heart of Gold soaps for $3 apiece. Let me know if you want one!

Heart of Gold!

This Week I Made Soap

I had fun making soap this week. I want to sell some, but I don't know what price to put on them. Mom has been too busy to help me figure that out. Oh well, if you have any ideas, please tell me! These are all apple scented.

These are summer flowers, pink on top with gold on the back. I think they are my favorites.

These stars are cool too. They had soap glitter in them. Maybe they are my favorites!

I really like these soaps with red flowers and clear glitter behind.

With flash

This trio is really cool. I made little red heart soaps and put them in the center of these clear glitter soaps! Maybe these are my favorites!

This is how I will package them, but with ribbon tied on.

More Pretty Pins, and some pretty good Brownies!

I made new pins this week. Any of them could also be made as magnets if anyone wanted to special order some. I had a local order for healthy chocolate something. My first effort flopped :-p , but then I found a recipe for Black Bear Brownies. I tweaked it, and it's awesome! It's gluten-free and used agave nectar instead of regular sugar.

I made a lot of flower pins this week. I love pretty flowers! I made a heart pin too, a ladybug pin, and some large ice cream pins. And a cherry pie pin! Here they are:

Larger Ice Cream, and Hot Dog with onions and pickle relish

Hi everybody! I've sold about half of my inventory of pins, so I'm making some more! Here are two photos.

This is a vanilla ice cream cone. It is 2 inches tall. I've made it into a magnet. I also made a lemon ice cream cone as a pin, but I didn't take a picture of it.

This is another hot dog. This one is funny because it has mustard and onions and pickle relish! Yummy!

I'm making more molded pulp paper items today, but since it takes 24 hours from them to dry before I can paint them, I won't have pictures up for a few more days yet.

A selection of Fun paper pulp Pins!

Here are some of the pins that I've made so far:

Bluebird of Happiness (with a wiggle eye)

Yummy Cupcakes! Strawberry, Lemon, Chocolate, Vanilla

Vanilla Ice Cream in a Chocolate Cone

Lemon Ice Cream in a Chocolate Cone

Chocolate Ice Cream in a Sugar Cone

Strawberry Ice Cream in a Sugar Cone

Fun Hot Dogs with a Squirt of Mustard!

(I may make one with onions and relish for a little extra fun)

What the backs look like

Measurements: The ice cream cones are 1-1/2 inches tall and 1 inch across the widest point. The cupcakes are also 1-1/2 inches tall and 1-1/4 inches across at the widest point. The hot dogs are nearly 2 inches long and 3/4 inches wide. The bird is 1-3/4 inches from beak to tail. These pins are very lightweight. They are made from paper pulp that I made from paper plates!

I hope to sell these for $3 each or two for $5 -- plus shipping if the buyer isn't local. Wish me luck!

I'm starting my own business!

Well, it's summer. School's out. Yay! I wanted a job, but that didn't turn out, so I decided to make a job for myself. I learned how to make paper pulp jewelry! It's fun! I'm going to post pictures of my cool and funky pins here. I hope to sell some.

Besides the pins, I'm going to make candy to sell. I've won many blue ribbons for my peanut brittle. So I will make that, and I'm working on some more ideas. I already got an order for something sugar-free and chocolate, so I'm working on a recipe for fudge balls.

Next on my list is soap. Soap-making is fun, so I'll make some pretty soaps to sell.

Lastly, I may do something with my photos. Some of them would look really good hanging on a wall, don't you think? Maybe I will add Bible verses to pictures of flowers and butterflies and things.

More info coming soon! Yay!
