Starting to get really busy..,,

Busy is good I know but the trouble with me is everything is coming at once it's all or nothing....
Anyway I am making a start so I thought I would show you a few soaps that I have been doing I also have made a batch of lavender which isn't in my pics
as they need to be cut.







I have got my first big show this coming Saturday and then another big show the following Thursday then another craft fair on the Saturday I usually do my Bude market on the Friday but that's had to go by the by for this week..You know when I first started making soap   I never thought I would be selling so quickly! Everything has just gone mad but a good mad if there is such a thing..
August is going to be really busy and could do with being in two places at once literally..I have been accepted to do a fab craft fair and was accepted the other night after taking a few soaps to show and after a lot of compliments got accepted oh yes said I not realising that I have another big show the very same day the start of craft fair anyway going back to fab craft fair I don't really have to attend the fair myself 24/7 it's run over 8 days all I do is set up my table mark everything with a price put spare stock under table the fair is manned by 5 peeps 2 at the till and 3 wandering about filling up and looking after stock etc all bags tissue paper is all included there will be 26 tables in a hall I will have to cover two shifts we all have to take turns but I don't mind but had better check my diary first! I really like the sound of this and have agreed to go for it but need to get cracking with making more soaps etc because while my table is sitting in the lovely craft fair I have a big show and the following day my Bude market... so how's that for forward planning haha
Anyway if you don't here from me for a while you know where I'll be either out and about or in my kitchen making stuff..
Hope your all keeping busy too!

    Wow, sounds like you are super-busy! So glad that your soaps are selling so well - it sounds like people really love them. Your curing soaps are lovely. Have a great time at your shows next week. I'm doing a craft show in a couple of weeks myself and looking forward to it :)

    Thanks for the well wishes on my upcoming craft fair, Edith! This will be my ... seventh craft show, I think? I'm looking forward to it - the shows are fun. And, yes, I have to remember to take photos! Last craft show I took my camera with me and then totally forgot to take pictures :P Best wishes to you, too! Looking forward to seeing your photos :)

    Busy is always good. Hope you post a picture of your lavender soap when you have time as that has to be a favorite. People need lavender soap! :)
