There’s just one problem with watching a soap making video, I can’t smell them! 😂 Your little soap kitchen must smell divine ❤ A lot of work goes into it! I’m impressed with everything you do.
Hearing you say that you like to have several things going at once makes me think of you being in a circus and having all those plates spinning on top of sticks! I bet you could keep a bunch going!👏 You’ve come so far since watching your first soap making video! The names of those soaps sound as amazing as they must smell! So creative! Chocolate covered strawberry! I’m dying here!!!😍👍 It’s always a good day when Mary’s making soap!🧼
I have a whole new appreciation for handmade soaps after watching your video. I never realized how many steps were involved and yours turned out amazing! I can just imagine how wonderful they must smell ❤
I will start by saying that I am not a soap maker…yet! I’ve been watching a lot of videos to learn and have seen other makers use 99% alcohol sprayed on the tops of the soap after pouring to help prevent soda ash. Thought it was worth mentioning if you want to give it a try. Thanks for the great video!
Yes to this! I always spray alcohol on top. Usually almost right away and then I spray a couple more times in the first hour or so. I seldom have ash. ~Marita
Also you can steam the tops of the loafs that have the soda ash after saponification. When about to release from the mould, instead steam the whole top surface area and leave to dry for a few hours. I often do it at night so I remove a dry loaf in the morning, then cut. Leaves a shining brighter colouring and milky ash gone. Bought myself a tiny steamer jug kettle on Amazon dedicated to shiny bright soda free textured tops. LOVE THIS VIDEO, inspiring, and a great promoter of the beauty and value of handmade soaps. When I want to go into a calm space free of the worldly chaos, I turn inward and either make soap, meditate or read life-affirming books. Bless ya. 🍓
I love your Music City, Tn shirt. I was born and raised in Nashville. One of the few around any more. I hope to be able to visit your city one day. My husband and I love to visit smaller towns and cities. Thank you for the soap tutorial. I think they all turned out beautiful. Love your channel.
I have tried a lot of handmade soaps but yours are by FAR my favorite and nothing else even comes close. I'll be watching your shop so I can pounce on some of your new fragrances. I am so hooked on your Lemongrass that I need to always have one bar of that in my shower along with a new one.
8 months ago, I watched this video, I was hooked, I then took a cold process soap making course here in the UK. I absolutely love making soap. I can't stop 😂😂
I'm so sorry to hear that someone is saying bad things. I have watched you for a long time and have never seen any of what they're saying. Please keep on doing what you're doing! Some people have to be so unhappy that they can't stand when others are happy, so they try to take them down instead of building them up. Love your videos and A drill and a dream. You're a great family .
First soap making video I’ve watched. My grandmother made all our soap (yes using lye). I didn’t know what store bought soap was until my grandma died in 1970. I’m going on 68 and realize that my younger years were spent caught up in modernization. Now that I’m retired some of the old days are coming back into my life.
Hi Robin, just reading your comment as a soap maker myself (self taught during lock down) , you should try it out for yourself. It's such a brilliant thing to learn because once you learn it, it's for a lifetime and one bonus is you can make the best soaps & gifts ever, all by your own design. Once you use handmade soap again your skin will hardly ever need moisturiser lol.
All that soap ❤ I can imagine the beautiful smell that must be swirling around your home ... delightful. The strawberry 🍓 soap could be also a watermelon 🍉 one 😊 they all look fabulous to me. We'll done Mary.
HI Mary! Have you thought about making soap on a rope? It is difficult to find these days..I remember EVERY Christmas my Dad would request soap on a rope. He liked that it wouldnt slip out of his hand, and it didnt get soggy sitting in a soap dish. Your soaps are beautiful and Im sure they smell even better than they look. Thankyou for sharing your talents😊❤
I wanna make soap now! I love your Nashville shirt! That's where I'm from! We share a love of classic country music. That's why I'm here! My dad moved here to pursue music and met my mom! We live 30 minutes west of Nashville now. - Your biggest fan from TN Love you Mary Everyone in my life knows your name now! I'm like, "You need to watch Mary!"
Loved this video. I have always wanted to try to make my own soap. I am so glad I saw that you had restocked the Lily of the Valley and others at the beginning of the week and totally grabbed several. Thank you so much for all you do! You are truly an inspiration.
🥰Wow - wish we had smell-a-vision ! I think your strawberries came out pretty good for a first attempt - they put me in mind of Christmas Puddings too 🎄 - could be a great seasonal round-shaped soap to make with a small tweak of the colours and a fruity/spicy scent! I love your workspace, and yes - an organised space is a productive one 🙂
If you use a small handheld clothing steamer on your soaps that have soda ash on them the soda ash disappears and you have nice shiny soap. I do this about a week before they are fully cured. I never really worry about soda ash because this method works wonderfully. Thank you for the wonderful video. Makes me want to get back to work making soaps again. Hugs to you and yours.
Such care and love that you put into creating soaps and then showing us how you do it. Thank you, Mary. P.S. Give Pebbles and Twinkles the big squeeze for me... they look like they could take some love from those who follow your channel.
You are so creative, on the chocolate covered strawberries maybe skip the green and just a thin sheen of chocolate and a small drizzle of white. I love the idea and ai bet it smells amazing. I have loved all the scents I have bought from you. Also an idea for spring, grow loofahs and add those to your line as a package with the soap.
You have the perfect place to hold classes for your candle, soaps and signs. my sister and I are planning a trip to Amish country. You inspire me to be a blessing with all that you do. I have sold my business of Event planning 2 years ago, but I am wanting to still have an income so that I can give and share. We are in our 70's never to late is my motto.
I deeply enjoyed watching this video. Mary, you’re so talented. The strawberry soap reminded me of Christmas. All the soaps I would buy. Thank you for sharing the soap making process. I love handmade soaps, and have a much deeper appreciation for the love that gets put into each one. ❤
Hola me encantan tus vídeos no me pierdo ninguno tengo mucho tiempo siguiendo te e aprendido mucho me gusta tu decoración soy de Jalisco México saludos
I enjoyed watching the soap making! I make soap as gifts and I love making it too. So far, I haven't tried any swirls or colors. Your soap-making kitchen is amazing!! What a great set up! Thanks for sharing your process. I will give your recipe a try!
Nicely presented video, a neat factory production line going on there. I'm only just at the beginner stage. Looking for soap making instructions. This video is more for the advanced soap makers. But I enjoyed watching it. I often wondered how different colours and patterns are added to soap. Now I know. Thank you for showing us around you have a well organized safe work space and a great location. Lovely kitchen as well, cool photoshoots at the end too displaying your soaps for sale.
They look wonderful Mary, Lilac is probably my very favorite sent. I noticed yesterday that my lilac brush is blooming. I couldn’t help but stop the car as I was turning into the driveway to hop out and smell the wonderful blooms. They smelled so good. You have the perfect area to make soap. Someday I may try the process myself. Thank for doing this video. Ann from Va.
Wow, Mary. This was so interesting! I'm sitting here watching my canner and enjoying your soapmaking late at night while my family sleeps. I hope to someday start making soap, too, just for fun.
Thanks for sharing your recipe. Most people wouldn't do that. But you are so kind and generous. That is why God is blessing your channel and all your endeavors. Keep it up!
At the end of a busy day I’m finding it so relaxing watching you make your beautiful soaps. I wish I could smell them all the way here in South Australia. I want to try making my own soap. ❤
I am so impressed with your wide range of talents. You are truly an inspiration to us; you seem to not be afraid of tackling anything! Your voice is so soothing- loved watching this video which was so informative. There’s a lot to soap making! Thanks for sharing
You would not believe how impressed I am with your soap making. I will be trying the cold processed soap making very soon. All of your soaps are so beautiful and amazing looking.
soap making is my happy place, nice to see that you enjoy it as well; beautiful creations. I find spritzing my batch with 99% rubbing alcohol after I've finished swirling the top helps eliminate most of the soda ash.
I absolutely LOVE your patio area!!! So peaceful!! Also, I think that your chocolate covered strawberry soap came out cuter than you’re giving yourself credit for. Maybe it wasn’t your vision, but a customer wouldn’t know that!

KEEP CALM AND MAKE SOAP! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial on soap making Mary!
You are fabulous!! Thank you for being you!
Absolutely amazing artistry, craftsmanship, & attention to detail!
I love your soap. My husband loves it. I just ordered more. My favorite is the lavender and it sells out so fast.
Oohhh! I can’t wait to see the sample pack and how much they will be! I would love that!
I have tried a lot of handmade soaps but yours are by FAR my favorite and nothing else even comes close. I'll be watching your shop so I can pounce on some of your new fragrances. I am so hooked on your Lemongrass that I need to always have one bar of that in my shower along with a new one.
How generous you are to share your recipe. I love the labels, especially for the round bars. I can see why you enjoy making them.
8 months ago, I watched this video, I was hooked, I then took a cold process soap making course here in the UK. I absolutely love making soap. I can't stop 😂😂
Hi. Do you sell them now or just for your own use? Can you share the course details please
Mary, I think your grass soap is a winner...very realistic! Love your videos! ❤
Your strawberry idea was a good one but I immediately thought watermelon slices for summer!
I have always wanted to see soap being made.... thank-you!
What beautiful soaps. 🧼
That grass soap looks so cool!!

If you didn't mean your text for Mary. Then delete it. Go to edit and delete it. Don't leave this on Mary's comments
@@reflections516 I agree!

@@boop7313- yes, totally agree, provided one uses truly natural ingredients and not their toxic counterparts as so many soap makers do here on YT.
I bet the grass scent would smell good with lavender mixed in. I really like the round shape too.
Enjoyed watching. Thank you Mary. Have a good day.
All that soap ❤ I can imagine the beautiful smell that must be swirling around your home ... delightful.
The strawberry 🍓 soap could be also a watermelon 🍉 one 😊 they all look fabulous to me. We'll done Mary.

Green is my favourite colour so I love those, the black and white ones are also cool looking. Also love the new labels.
All the soaps are so pretty. This was very interesting to watch. Thank you
Thank you Mary for this video making your soaps! You are so inspiring & creative. Your soaps turned out beautifully!❤

Yes! I love Lily of the Valley scent and the flower!
The soaps turned out fabulous. Love all the different scents. I like using the coffee filters to wrap the round ones. Thank you so much for sharing.
Loved the use of the coffee filters. Loving your show.
Love the grass soap! I will watch for it in your etsy shop!

Love watching everything you do, Wednesday is the highlight of my week to see what you will do, best wishes from Ireland x
Your attention to detail is amazing. I’ve purchased your soaps before. They are awesome.
Loved watching you make the soap - it is relaxing to watch, I agree!

Mesmerizing video… it must be so incredibly satisfying to stand back and look at a days achievements. Loved the video 💜
Truly amazing. The finished product looks excellent
Realy selfmade woman. Great!!
I absolutely love your soap space and the outside view is stunning! 😍
You are my spirit sister
You looking lovely Mary. Thanks for taking us through soap making

Such care and love that you put into creating soaps and then showing us how you do it. Thank you, Mary. P.S. Give Pebbles and Twinkles the big squeeze for me... they look like they could take some love from those who follow your channel.
Beautiful soaps and I am sure they smell wonderful!
You are so creative, on the chocolate covered strawberries maybe skip the green and just a thin sheen of chocolate and a small drizzle of white. I love the idea and ai bet it smells amazing. I have loved all the scents I have bought from you. Also an idea for spring, grow loofahs and add those to your line as a package with the soap.
So fun watching everything you touch become so wonderful!! 😊
It looks good enough to EAT! The strawberry is actually my favorite. I wonder how that would work in the round shape.
These soaps look awesome! Hope to make some like this soon
They all turned out beautiful!❤

Your Grass soap really did look like grass! My fave was Citrus Grove. Love that color.
Lovely seeing all of your soap stacked on the metal counter!! Just wish there was smell o vision!!
Your soap turned out great love the grass soap. Great job.
That was fun--what beautiful soaps!
Thank you for sharing, I always enjoy watching, God Bless!!
You are so prepared and an inspiration!
This is a great video. We love your soap. I can almost smell the chocolate strawberries. You did a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome, I usually make one at a time, but if I just work with one formula, I can do 3 to 4. Thank you for the inspiration.

So beautiful Mary. You take great pride in your work. Love your you tube channel. Hope you have a lovely day. Greetings from Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦
soap making is my happy place, nice to see that you enjoy it as well; beautiful creations. I find spritzing my batch with 99% rubbing alcohol after I've finished swirling the top helps eliminate most of the soda ash.
