It sure is sweater weather right now and the Holidays are fast approaching! Every time I think that I'm going to be soaping all day, something comes up or there is a change of plans. I'm feeling the stress of the upcoming holidays a little early. I feel that I'm running behind. You never know how much soap you'll need for the craft shows.<div>

Everyone loves cupcakes and they are made in all different kinds of materials. The cupcake soap above is Love Spell crowned with two real rosebuds. It's beautiful. Does someone really want it because they want to wash with it or because it's shaped like a cupcake and "it's so cute"?</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Razzberry cupcake soaps are so pretty. Made with the same ingredients as the soap cakes. They'd make an awesome gift for someone. A great shower gift, birthday, etc.<br /><br />Everything you buy is a personal preference. So many times I have been told " Oh, it's too pretty to use. I would never use it". That drives me nuts when someone says that. They love the cupcake. They love the soap cake. They are unique. They make a great gift. But-- every soap that I make is meant to be used. I don't infuse these soaps with silk and wonderful fragrances so that they are just looked at and collecting dust just to be thrown in the garbage later on. That person has cheated themselves out of a wonderful bathing experience with a soap that has been made from scratch and created to be used and is actually a real treat to use on your skin. Now to the preference of soap cake verses the cupcake. According to my sales, cupcakes rule!!! </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px;">cupcake soap with penguin finger puppet<br /><br />Hi everyone!!<i> It has been a while since my last blog. I have been working on some new soaps and adding some soaps for kids ( for 3 yrs. and up). The top picture is of a store in Holly, MI that has a beautiful display of our soaps. If you are local, you just have to check them out. Pigeon in the Parlour has gorgeous and unique products in their store. The owners are such wonderful people. They are right on the main road in Holly. On May 11th, Holly is having Ladies Night out from 5pm-9pm. My cousin Marie and I will be at the Pigeon in the Parlour handing out some soap and solid lotion bar samples. <br />On the same night, my husband Duane will be selling our soaps at Lakeside Assembly of God Church on Schoennher Rd, Shelby Twp. ( I believe it is from 6-9pm). There will be plenty of wonderful soaps to purchase for Mother's Day!!<br /><br />The website is still under construction and there has been some problems that my wonderful cousin is trying to resolve but it should be up and ready to go very soon. If there is anything that you would like to order, please don't hesitate to email me at <a href="mailto:hedgewaycottagesoaps@yahoo.com">hedgewaycottagesoaps@yahoo.com</a> or call me at 248-525-4863.<br />Check us out on facebook and twitter<br />I hope I can see you soon and I will be posting wherever we will be<br />Have a great week!!<br />Bernadette<br /><br /></i></td></tr>

Spring is almost here and we'll be at our second Spring craft show this Saturday at the Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan. It's supposed to be a great show with around 150 vendors. People want to spruce up, clean up, and decorate for spring. Dress up your bath with the clean, floral scents of a spring garden....<div>
Lavender, lily of the valley, Lilac, Lemon...... Give your spirit a lift and bathe with the scents of spring!</div>
<div>
Hope to see you at the show. It goes from 10am-4pm. . Come to the show and mention this blog and get a free lilac or lily of the valley soap on us.

You want the person that is viewing the picture to feel, smell and touch your product through their eyes when they look at it. That is very hard to do. I'll keep working at it.

The new year brings new changes and Hedgeway Cottage is going through some good changes too. It's time to grow up and clean up. A better website, more professional looking pictures, a new logo, and of course more beautiful soaps made with new and revised recipes that will be so nice to use for your skin. My new recipes include using Silk tussah which will give your soap a silky luxurious feel.I'm rethinking my packaging too. I'm not sure what I'm doing yet for that. Also, with the upcoming changes, come an increase in pricing. Just starting out, I knew that my prices were lower.Now, in order for my company to thrive, I must increase my prices (not much though) to keep up with the increased prices of supplies, etc. Lavender essential oil is getting quite pricey for example.<br />
We will also be looking to doing more craft shows this Spring and Summer. We are confirmed for the Henry Ford II High School Clearance Craft Show on Feb. 11-12th. So, please come and check us out because we will have quite a bit of soap on sale. We will also have some new soaps. I have some new fragrances that I just love. You'll have to smell them for yourself.<br />
I have some shower orders that I'm working on that is keeping me busy right now. I am always very honored to be able to make shower favors for your special day. I always put my best effort into doing soap favors.<br />
<i>While we are under construction on the website, please contact me by email which is: hedgewaycottagesoaps@yahoo.com or by phone: 248-525-4863.</i><br />
<i>Have a great week! Talk with you soon!</i><br />

We were done with craft shows for the year and I started cleaning my house and started to organize all the things that found a home on my counters, on top of dressers, any flat surface that you can lay something on. I got about 2 days into it and my Mom called to say some relatives were interested in buying soaps for holiday gifts. So I decided to have a soap sale in my living room for my family and friends. I really don't have that much room and pushed all the furniture over to set up the tables. Today I spent all day making cookies, brownies, dips, etc. for my guests who will be coming tomorrow. For me it's not about selling the soaps, it's about sitting with that cup of coffee or tea, eating a cookie and enjoying my Mom, sisters, and friends.Hopefully they wont notice that I'm not finished cleaning.<br />
While I was cleaning the other day, a lady called and asked us if we would be interested in their craft show next Friday, the 16th. So of course we said yes and are looking forward to another last show of the year which will be at the Williamslake Church of the Nazarene in Waterford on Airport Rd. (you'll have to google it- I don't have the info in front of me). It will be from 6pm-9pm so if you're looking for that unique gift to give that co-worker or teacher, come and get it at the last show of the year( for us).<br />
Talk with you soon. Hopefully I can start my Christmas shopping before it's Christmas eve!<br />
I need to hire some elves!lol</td></tr>

Well, finally I have all my soaps wrapped and we're winding down for the last 2 shows! This first year of doing craft shows and selling has been both stressful and wonderful. Stressful in a good way (not knowing how much product to have ready so you don't run out). I always over make. I do it with food when I have family over and I am doing it with soaps. I'd rather have too much than too little.And it is so wonderful to make something that people love and appreciate.<br />
I hope tomorrows' weather that is calling for snow will not keep the shoppers away for the Grosse Pointe Holiday Tree lighting and market. I hope you can make it tomorrow or for our last show on December 3rd at Parcells middle school in Grosse Pointe. If not, drop me an email, say HI- keep in touch. If there is something you'd like to order from us, please email me and we will deliver it to you by mail or in person.Thank you for being such great customers!!!

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My husband, Duane. This man puts up with a lot from me. When I get worried, mad, sad , anxious- I take it out on him ( I don't mean to). I could not do any of these shows or farmers markets without him. He has always been supportive and loving in whatever I wanted to do. I used to drag him to craft shows all the time when I was the buyer (before soap making) and he would follow me and carry the bags for me. I miss those days. Now he lugs in our tables and the soaps, etc. and sets everything up. And instead of talking football and hanging with the guys, he's talking soap and how moisturizing it is to women. Isn't life funny?! I just want him to know that I love and appreciate everything he does even when my horns start to show.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is a picture of our set up at Eisenhower High school. We really liked working the show and everyone was wonderful and the students were great with helping us unload and load our things for the show. We hope to work it next year. Thank you to all of our customers who followed us to this show.We appreciate your business and loyalty. We met a lot of great people and new customers that I hope will become part of our Hedgeway Cottage family. I am still waiting for confirmation for the Troy High school show we were invited to. I will post on hedgewaycottagesoaps on facebook as soon as I know for sure.<br /> I hope everyone controls themselves on Black Friday!You couldn't pay me to go shopping that day. I think it has gotten ridiculous- my husband works for Target and has to go to work on Thanksgiving at 11pm because they have decided to open their doors at midnight.It's getting out of hand and they just keep getting more greedy. Let's remember the" reason" for the season. I think a lot of people have forgotten like the decision makers who don't care if people make plans with their families.Have a great Thanksgiving and a safe holiday!</td></tr>

I was messing around with different decorator tips because there are quite a few of them that I don't know what they do. I was also practicing with making soap roses. Those are irritating to do when you have gloves on and it takes a lot of patience and re-doing, re-doing! I still don't have them perfect yet. But I will. Couldn't you see this soap cake at a bridal shower or a tea party? Give a slice to each guest to take home and wrap it up in pretty paper. This size cake will yield eight good sized slices.</div>

I hope to see you there. I have been getting all my holiday soaps ready for it! I'm also kind of nervous about the Eisenhower one because I know how busy it gets. I hope I get a good spot.

She's only 4 years old but when you talk to her, you feel like she is older in years and she has a wisdom and intelligence that shows through her personality. Her name is Bella and she is so beautiful and sweet. She is my nephews' daughter. She loves the finer things in life. She loves nice restaurants, she has a certain ice cream place she goes to that knows her by name. She likes going to Sommerset Mall and going to her favorite store LUSH to smell all the soaps and such. She invited me to her birthday party on Sunday and I made her a special soap cake and mini cupcake soaps for her special day. I mixed up a special fragrance just for her ( it smells like a mixture of fruity scents). I am also making her a lotion, etc. and naming it Dolce Bella which means Sweet Bella in Italian. I hope she likes it. I hope the fragrance is sophisticated enough for her! I'll let you know what she thinks. Have a great weekend. And say a special prayer for all our veterans who risk their lives to protect us.

</tbody></table>I have been working on some Christmas soaps and here they are, or at least some of them. All of them are made from scratch with the cold process method which is with a variety of oils mixed with lye. The xmas tree soaps are made with a new recipe I made which turned out wonderful. It allowed me a lot of time to pipe these without it hardening up on me. It was a two day process. I bought the Wilton silicone christmas tree molds and made up a batch of soap. Poured the soap in the molds, unmolded them the next day. Made a new batch of soap, dipped the trees in the soap then let it thicken to be able to pipe the "branches" on them. The white ones were made the same way with a different look. Packaging is the most time consuming. I have a lot to do.<br />

</tbody></table>We had a nice time and there were tons of salads to choose from ( and yes, my plate was overflowing). And I enjoyed every bite!<br />
I was shocked that I won that basket full of chocolate because I usually don't win anything. Then my daughter, Janelle won this huge bottle of wine basket with cookies. My Mom won an apron and a beautiful hand knitted afghan too. My sister Cathy didn't win anything but she is very lucky at the casino.<br />
When I got home, my hubby, and sons Nick & Nathan tore into that chocolate, each claiming "this is mine". I guess I don't have to worry about my fat-eating winter hibernation food. It will be gone before Halloween.(OH NO Halloween candy!)<br />
Have a great week and don't forget to pick up your candy for the trick or treaters.<br />

</tbody></table>I'm waiting on the packaging go-ahead approval on two of the above orders. I 'll be quite busy with all this packaging and getting ready for the craft shows. After the Holidays, maybe in January or February I will try my hand at making some soap making videos if anyone is interested.<br />
Do you have your pumpkins yet? This looks like a nice fall day to go to the cider mill, get some apples, cider, pumpkins to put out for Halloween and bake those pumpkin seeds. My kids love the pumpkin seeds. You can season them with garlic and sea salt, so many other combinations of seasonings that make them awesome to munch on. So enjoy your day now before winter hits.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bear walks pretty good. He doesn't pull and try to go on<br />
the lawns. He doesn't pay attention to other people although<br />
he attracts attention. My husband thinks he's a "babe magnet"<br />
and wishes he had a dog like that when he was single. But he's<br />
a great watch dog. If you come to our house, he will bark and growl<br />
until we tell him it's o.k. and he patrols the house at night.</td></tr>

</tbody></table><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">I hope everyone had a great weekend. We were at the Clarkston High school craft show on Saturday & Sunday. It was a nice show with a lot of great things to buy. I had to control myself. I remember when I used to shop at the craft shows and I never thought I would be a vendor at one. After a long weekend, I thought about the busy week ahead and I just looked at my bored puppy who is 7 months old,( his name is Bear and he's a Great Pyrenees) and he looked so lonely. It is such a beautiful day today -lets go for a nice walk! It's windy and my eyes watered a little but it was so nice to take time away from working all the time and enjoy lifes simple pleasures. I have to make a habit out of this (but I don't know about the freezing winter). My son, Nathan enjoyed the walk also(he took the pictures). Bear has gotten so big and he has a lot more growing to do. We haven't taken any pictures of him since he was little. I think we'll go for another walk after dinner. Have a great day!</span>Bernadettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07911579727340848052noreply@blogger.com0
