It's good to do: soap making

At this time of year, I often do some soap.  Often, I will give them as a gift.  This year, I just made some soap just for the fun of it.  If someone need some, they will be ready to give.  What I liked the must is the colours I got from this year batch.  I used mauve and red colorant.  I also used an honey soap base for the mauve ones.  For the red ones, I used my usual soap base.
It is nice to have some dark colored soap.  I am pleased with the result.  It also smelled good as I was heating the honey soap base.  I usually use an honey soap base once a year, to give luxurious soap as a gift.  I just haven't done it last year.  Maybe I should use that soap base a bit more often.  I haven't try them myself.  I guess would be time to test drive a few, just to see if quality control is good (-;

Soap making is relaxing.  The most boring part is to heat the base.  It is the longest part of the process.  The other little bit boring part is to let it cool, before unmolding the soap.  What I like the most is having a helper with me.  It help with the whole process.
