How lovely is this, Lolas first bath and with me!! lots of firsts seem to be happening lately, I am so happy to have both Aimee and Lola staying with us at the moment its a real joy. Even Rik, "Grumpy Grandad", says she is his kind of baby, she never cries, sleeps perfectly and is such fun to have around.
I'm off to Budleigh Farmers Market tomorrow, second time Ive done it, but this time Ive got Aimee for her selling powers and Lola as support, I cant go wrong!!
Will let you all know how I do.....

The original Dirty Dog doing his stuff!! hes a total nutter, get him wet and he rolls in/on anything. This is Blue our English Working Springer Spaniel. Mad boy!!

Just labeled up my new soaps, all in the Limited Edition section of my website, i.e. once these batches have gone, thats it! no more, I move on to something else, and I already have lots of ideas up my sleeve. these soaps will go out on the markets mid November, although they are available now on the website.


Hazy Daisy, very earthy and floral, Patchouli and Lavender, topped with glitter soap daisies!! Purple haze is a rose and patchouli scent.


Both really lovely and sooo ready for Totnes Christmas Festival, I cant wait!!

Phew, been so busy tonight just wrapped masses of bars of Christmas soap. I am wondering it it is really worth it, time wise, to wrap each one with a hand tied bow, it looks lovely but takes an age. I did Exmouth Farmers Market last Wednesday (my best ever) and the Christmas Spice Cake simply flew off the stall, I sold almost every bar I took, and that was a whole batch!! Im going to be very busy making enough for the markets Ive got coming up - see my News section on the website - www.naturallymadesoaps.co.uk. Ohhh err I just hope I have enough!! Got to do a huge make this weekend.

My wonderful boyfriend Rik has made me a fantastic mold, its twice the size I have previously been using (made by me). This one is made from really strong ply double skin for extra strength and insulation. It takes a huge batch of soap, enough for 48 bars, and has very clever clips on each of one of the long sides making is so easy to get the teflon lined soap bar out. Its so brilliant that I have ordered two more. that will increase my capacity by 3 times. I have a lot of making to do.

the above pictures are back to front! First one shows the soap out and liner pulled off, second one is the side of my new mould clipped off and liner slid out, and the last one shows my new mold with English Rose in. Ready for taking out and cutting. I am soooo pleased with them!

thanks Rik XXX ;-) XXX

BABY LOLA HAS ARRIVED!

Baby Lola is here!! shes absolutely adorable, born on Tuesday 13th at 7.59pm weighing in at 7lb 11.5oz, we thought she had black hair to start with but its already looking pretty blonde, like her daddy. Here is a picture of Lola with her adoring Uncle Ryan at less than 24 hours old. She made us wait (4 days in hospital) but is so worth it. Her Mum, Aimee is doing well too.
I am the proudest Grandparent ever!

Ive got so many fantastic soaps for you to try,

Its 12.25am and I am going in to hospital tomorrow to meet my grandaughter, its a life changing moment.

I will keep you all updated.
