Laurie and Michaele came over last night to make soap in my kitchen and eat Indian food from Bombay House (you get hungry with all that endless stirring). Michaele is moving away from our fair berg next week and she wanted a chance to see soap made before she left, and Laurie's been obsessed with the idea of making soap for a while now. Laurie wanted a lavender and rosemary soap, and she decided that she wanted it to be purple too. When the soap traced (a little technical term there) and we poured it into the molds, it was sort of a peachy-cantolope color, much to our surprise. But by this morning it had totally saponified and turned back to purple.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why are you holding a Maglight?
love the crinkle cut! so glad it *finally* turned purple!
That sounds like so much fun! I would love to learn how to make soap, but I'm terrified of lye and it's all Brad Pitt's fault.
That is so cool, I would love to learn how to do that! As if I don't have enough hobbies already...
Girl, you are so crafty! I'd love to hang out and make all these cool things, too! Never gets boring over at Katherine's, eh?
Too fun! There's nothing that Lady K can't do!! :)
I don't know what's tastier, soap or saag. Oh wait, it's saag.
The soap is so pretty! You are a craft master. What's next?
Beautiful soap Katherine! I am very impressed with your chemistry skills.
You, of course, rule.
Nothin' at all quite like a night of good, CLEAN fun! (Nothin' quite like a really bad groaner in the wee afternoon either)
