There was quite a bit accomplished this week, but since it is my last week of class, most of it was schoolwork. Still need to finish that paper that's due!
1) Went to storage unit twice. Both times to bring completed items over and to unload the truck from last weekends show.
2) Completed inventory for what was sold at the show, and finally got the lip balms counted accurately and into the spreadsheet.
3) The rest of the lip balms that were hanging around got shrink wrapped. Now I need to make more!
4) Had a bunch of "ugly" bars to cut in half to use in the samplers. When the soap comes out of the mold, some bars have air bubbles that make them "ugly" and they can't be sold. But if you cut them in half, one side is perfect to use in a sampler crate.
5) Made lots of soap: figment, almondine, and lavender
6) Made 5 batches of unscented soap (80lbs). And then ran out of sodium hydroxide bummer.
7) Found a new supplier for sodium hydroxide- less expensive and closer so much cheaper to pick up as well. Need to go pick some up next week.
8) Got my blog updated- added my show schedule and a little homage to my friend who is pregnant.
9) Got orders for the week packed and shipped out.
And on top of that I cleaned the bedroom, bathrooms, and kitchen till they were spotless. We also started our search for a new place to live- someplace with more room for soap!
