camwynMade soap for the first time in years last night. It's currently bundled up in a nice warm insulated bag in my back hallway until it's safe for me to cut into bars- about 24 hours after pouring into the mold, which in this case is a half gallon milk carton. It'll have to cure after that. Hopefully I got the smell right; I was using orange, clove, and cinnamon essential oils, but inadvertently poured way more clove than I intended, and compensated by reducing the cinnamon a bit.
I now have very small amounts of multiple oils left, because the recipe called for slightly less of each oil than I got in each bottle/jar/packet, and a little more than half a jar of lye. I might have to make soap again if only to use the lye up. I don't want that stuff left sitting around.
