The season is upon us and Li'l Z.

The holiday season always sneaks up on me.  One minute it's August, the next, it's Halloween, the next Christmas lights are up all around town.  With my preferred six week cure time for my soap, by the time the weather starts feeling wintery, it's mid-November.

I really wanted to do the Avondale Estates Christmas Market this year and fortunately for me, they were full, but somehow found room for me.  So, I will officially be participating in the Holiday Market.  You can find Sudstress on Sunday December 11, from 12-6 p.m. in the clubhouse at Lake Avondale.

Here is a link to the site.

So, needless to say, I've been making soap like crazy as I also need to make a delivery to Young Blood Gallery & Boutique.  Here is some of the soap you'll be seeing at the show:

Yet to be named - smells like holiday spice & Christmas trees.

Pumpkin Spice soap with carrot juice and nutmeg.

Carrot & Shea facial soap with sustainable rosewood, patchouli & carrot seed essential oils.

French Green Clay men's shave soap with lavender, lime & petitgrain.

My favorite so far, Lemongrass - Eucalyptus pumice soap.  

Piece o' Cake - smells like chocolate cake, but yummier.

....and not to go unmentioned, my birthday was a couple of weeks ago and my great gift was a quick trip to see my niece who is now six months old.  I haven't seen her since she was only 5 weeks, and it's been tearing me up.  I finally got to see her in Boulder and I just love Li'l Z.  Her name is Zora and she's such a joy!
