After a couple weeks of slogging (and months of research and planning), our new website and store are up and running! Since we make better soap-makers than web-masters, we hope you’ll browse the site and let us know if you run into any snags. First off, some soap business: fresh off the curing racks (and… Continue reading Bye Bye Winter, Hello Website!

Gratuitous Soapy Shots (and a carpentry project)
Let me show off a few scrumptious shots, some new, some older! We had the most wonderful husband order a custom soap for his blushing bride over the Christmas season. We just have to share now that the gift has been given. It is such a thrill to concoct a custom soap for somebody special!… Continue reading Gratuitous Soapy Shots (and a carpentry project)
the Scent of Spring…
The seasons must be a’changin’! The kids are underfoot as two weeks of March break gets underway. The redpolls are voraciously attacking the feeder. And, some distinctly fresh spring soaps are making their way off the curing rack!

Family, Fabric and Formulation
To begin with, most heartfelt thank you to all our fabulous clients who just kept coming back for more soapy-gifts right through the New Year.

And so we are well launched into a new year.… Continue reading Family, Fabric and Formulation

In the last throes of summer

And, even the rattling birch has begun to show tatters in its summer mantle. Our recent cold and rainy spell has served notice that our warm sunny days are… Continue reading In the last throes of summer
Once again, the Folk rock!!!
Can there be a more awesome way to spend a precious Northern summer weekend, than surrounded by water, trees and eclectic people all pulsating to a great beat? Nope. I think not. The Crafter and a posse of family and superb friends thoroughly rocked out the weekend at the annual ‘Folk on the Rocks’ music… Continue reading Once again, the Folk rock!!!
Good Friends, Angry Birds and Cake
The blog has been sorely neglected. Please do not take it personally, but the Crafter was in dire need of a hiatus following the fabulously busy trade show and after-orders. She was also hoping to post some pics from the show, but has yet to get it done. She will. Promise. In the meantime, she… Continue reading Good Friends, Angry Birds and Cake
Some sneaky peakies
The spring isolation has begun: Yet, Yellowknifers will somehow survive 3.98/lb grapes to thrive again when the Merv Hardy Ferry begins running again sometime in May (late May if the predictions are right). Imagine, this may very well be the last time we see (and hear) the convoys of tractor trailers staging their spring sit-in… Continue reading Some sneaky peakies
