I soap in the basement at my mothers house. I make sure that I tell my mom not to let my son downstairs, I'm soaping. I put on gloves and goggles. I mix the lye and let sit in another part of the basement. Take off gloves and goggles. My son will ask if he can come down, No, I have lye. I measure hard oils and put in the microwave to melt. While thats melting I measure liquid oils. Remind DS he isn't allowed downstairs. Decide which FO to play with today. Now what color and what kind of color. Pick up lye and see if it's still too hot to pick up. If it isn't I take it to soaping area, mix soft oils with hard, SB for a minute to break up the last of the hard oils then put gloves and goggles back on and SB the lye into the oils. At about this point I remember that I haven't lined the mold yet. That's the other reason I bought a Kelsei. I throw it together really fast. Also, this is usually when my cell phone rings and DS asks once again if he can come downstairs. I mix the color with some traced soap and add FO to the remainder in the pot. SB until it mixes. Add some color to the mold, pour the soap over the color, add more color, swirl. Put in the cross pieces of the mold and cover with towels. Go upstairs and have a glass of wine with Mom.
