More adventures in soap

Spent a lot of time in the kitchen this weekend. Today was another soap adventure. I wanted to make some cool sage soap but was getting sick of my (awesome) only real soap mold, the celtic heart. I tried a plasic container lined with plastic wrap, but didn't really care for it. Looked around some more, found my old muffin tins that aren't reusible from some long ago baking spree before I got awesome real muffin tin. I googled using a muffin tin in soap making, and I'm pretty sure you can only use this method for melt & pour soaps. I went here for one key piece of information.
Results:




Here's a few pictures on how this came to happen
Lavender and white crushed sage

soap and spices




some of the green inside the blue






 I did do a couple more celtic hearts too:
first attempt with sage and lavender

evidently one needs a special soap base in order to suspend things and even herbs in soap




...And some here are some cookies, pinterest inspired, recipe for brown sugar cookies here


We're also having tacos with chicken I cooked and shredded in the crockpot yesterday.
What about you? What do you like to craft on the weekend (or any spare time)?
