We started off strong with our Compassionate Service (Power) Hour. Those who came got to help tie a baby quilt.
Don't forget that Compassionate Service Hour is always the hour before Enrichment starts each month.
This month's Enrichment activity was all about that slippery good stuff: SOAP.
First, we learned how to make powdered laundry and dishwasher detergents from Sister Herb.
Next, Sister Herb (not to be confused with the previously mentioned Sister Herb) gave a presentation on how to make "melt and pour" bar soap.
Examples of many different types of soap Sister Herb has made.
Many resources and supplies are available for this provident hobby. Sister Herb mentioned GloryBee as one good place to find all the ingredients you need.
"Melt and Pour" soap is made by first melting a soap base.
Oil up the mold so the bars are easy to remove when cool.
Getting fancy: pouring a layer of clear soap first.
Getting fancier: add in essential oils, dyes, and even dried flowers!
These lavender bars of soap smell heavenly!
Sister Herb made enough bars for everyone in attendance to have one, so if you haven't received yours yet, come find me on Sunday!
She also prepared a handout, but forgot it at home. I will try to get the information from her and post it on this blog, along with the recipes for the laundry and dishwasher detergents. So check back soon!
