liquid soap making and painting.

We have had a lovely day today getting slowly back into the swing of  things.
I made a meat and potatoe pie for the boys tea and Jasmin did a drawing on canvas whilst I was busy, and started to use her acrylic paints.






After lunch we decided to make some liquid soap, something I haven't done for ages, it was great fun and hardly takes any time at all. It made me realise I must get back into my home making again.  (I can see lots of visits to my amazing craft and home maker queen Bek coming up)!!

Liquid Soap (adult supervision needed for this)

Jasmin grated the soap first, then added boiling water and stirred until all the grated soap had melted, she mixed in the honey and olive oil, blended until smooth and then choose which essential oil she wanted to use, add a few drops. We chose lemon and orange.  The house smells lovely.  We made 3 bottles of liquid soap for hardly any cost.  Once cooled, put on lids and shake.

Ingredients:  bar of soap (unscented), 500mls of boiling water, tablespoon of olive oil and honey
blender, and a jug or funnel for pouring the soap into the bottles.
