It is all gone
the soap called *sensual man* is gone except for a few bars i am keeping for the house. I rarely do that with any fragrance, but this one has been soo beautiful i just cant let it all go. the vanilla chips in it were a masterstroke addition.
people have really liked it, which is good of course .....but i cant repeat this batch as it had real West Australian sandlewood essential oil in it that i had hoarded for some years ........and it is all used up.
It had aged and mellowed beautifully that oil
I am not buying more. i will however make another blend using a fragrace oil.

this first soap is Provence, a favourite of mine from Scent-works.
clean and fresh as always
clean and fresh as always
done this time with a insert of blue with gold mica dusting
this a special soap for those who like pale and pretty with no fragrance.
people like me for example :-)
the next on is the one that sends me totally wild ..........
Vanigilia de madagascar.it reminds me of
a spiced up version of vanilla and chocolate. it comes out
a dark glossy choc colour. Scary how tempting it is .:-)
.this is of a soap that is a mix of a couple of Scent-works floraly fragrances
and made pretty pale with chunks
and just for perspective here is a pic of a plain all olive oil soap being blended
by the trusty stick blender. it has no colour or fragrance and will,
when finished, be virtually all white in colour
this pic is a bit dark but the oil is more off white than anything else at this stage

and from London and my sister yet more interesting things
the celebration of the end of Ramadan in Trafalgar Square
a rather large bird of prey
I HAVE MADE MORE SOAP
I have sold all but a few bars of castile and goats milk.
new soaps will be ready in about 10 days as i did a few lots today with deep water discount
to have them ready early. i even did one log as a rather pretty non fragranced one
.... for those of us who like pretty but dont want a fragrance .
will make more soap tomorrow if the dentist dosnt traumatise me too much.

today i did Vaniglia de madagascar...and went mad with the amount of fragrance .
it is one of Scent Works stronger fragrances so i will have a powerful vanilla fragrance on my hands!!!

so we had a dust storm
that i dont believe i really "heard" the warnings of. if i had i would have closed up the house and made preperations LOL.
i am still cleaning up and will continue to do so for a while i expect as more little pockets of red are found.
growning up in Hillston is good preparation for dust storms.
this pic is taken from Westfield at Hornsby looking over the highway toward the rail line
this is looking toward the Hornsby shopping centre from near the hospital
an electricity pole on the highway
these bottom two shots are from the outside of my house looking toward and to the side of the sunrise

yesterday i went here for the first time in a loooong time.
RPAHospital as seen on the TV show !!
A four year part of my history was spent there doing my hospital based nursing training.
it is so enormously changed with some of the fascinating old buildings long gone.
the main two pavillions...one named for Prince Albert and one for Queen Victoria remain but not in the format i knew.
both pavillions were being renovated but i grabbed a few pics anyway.
the first pic shown here is the "A block" with Albert watching over all that occurs in the very busy streets around
the main entry remains as it was but with the addition of some seating and a less austere atmosphere. the stained glass windows
interesting now as they ever were.
i couldnt photograph it as it was covered in scaffolding
Victoria has her own window ...pictured here
this is Victoria's side of the building with her on top in all her green verdis glory . dont know what the rooms are now, but this part of the building was referred to as the "Vic block" and was full of patients, while the block at the right hand end was the pathology labs
