The Dirt...

This site & soaps are a collaboration between a mother & son on something they both enjoy... being creative.

Any of you who've been here before know I like to keep busy... so between university, sports and life time to blog is hard to find but when I can I do.
ps I really enjoy reading your comments.

Laters,
J.

Latest Feedback

Though I'd post a couple of new feedbacks from my Etsy site. 
These were left by the lovely & talented GoodKarma

The first is for a 'ruff lumber chunk' and the second is for a 'button soap':

First of all, this is a huge bar of soap. i mean, REALLY huge. it's going to last forever, which is awesome, because i don't think i could ever get sick of it. and, sure, it's all big and tough and manly looking. but, ladies, don't let appearances fool you. this is one of the most wonderfully creamy bars i've ever used. i am now hopelessly addicted.

This bar was so much bigger than i was expecting! and it's got a lovely comforting scent. I'm pretty sure i couldn't gotten better service anywhere else. Soapy is a dream. and since getting my package of his soap, showering is the best part of my day. :)
soap with balls rocks my world.



He sells seashells by the seashore.






Poured a few spa bars in the seashell & starfish molds. Added more course dead sea salt to the starfish shapes & the crab etc., before pouring, I like the way it gives the bars an uneven rough look. It looks like the crab has been digging in the sand around him.

One lb soap slabs in 'under the sea' and 'starfish frenzy'. Each one makes four 4-ounce bars.

Timing the pitcher before going up...

Well we didn't win but came close. I pitched a couple & caught a couple. 
The first day was OK but the Sat games were played in about 50* temps and everyone had issues with their hands being cold. I never dropped a ball all summer & had 2 in our final game.

Martha





OK so while I normally wouldn't visit this blog as I'm not her target audience, women... I'm a male from Canada...but I found myself there after a few clicks on other friends blogs and so poked around and actually saw a few things I could relate to: her property is a  Certified Wildlife Habitat with the National Wildlife Federation...her donkeys & horses are from Canada ... and really furry dogs in her chow pics. I posted about my Chinese Cresteds maybe Martha or one of her staff will visit my blog to see them who knows.....the links to my posts with my dogs are on the right further down under labels, just incase....

hmmm..lots of visitors from Martha's site but no comments.... anyone??




Cooler days are busy days


Sorry for not posting lately but I've been away to Tampa and then really busy with ball , school and work. I'm playing high school ball and hockey again this year and trying to get a few hours in at work too to help get the $ to buy the things I like. I near bought out the Diesel store while I was in Tampa....LOL
I had a great time and was clocked pitching at 76 MPH by the gun at the Devil Rays Tropicana Field where my uncle works. We had a suite to watch the game from. I also went shark fishing and hit the beach a few times.

Testimonials on my soap



I saw SoapWithBalls in a forum post a few weeks ago and was so intrigued with the fabulous shop name and even more intrigued that the avatar for a soap shop was of a young man, I just had to click! After reading the shop announcement written by his mom I really wanted to give this shop it's first sale. My family (my hard working carpenter husband, a sweaty skate boarding teenage son, and a stinky little league catcher) love handmade soap and purchase all of our soap on Etsy. When I saw the manly soap in super large sizes, I thought, this is perfect.

After my purchase, he promptly sent me a thank you convo and shipping information. The communication and customer service I received was wonderful and refreshing. After receiving my Cut Lumber 10oz. bar of soap, I proudly presented it to my dear husband and he immediately took it with him into the shower. I'll tell ya, I've never seen a cleaner man in my life! I wish you the best of luck with your shop, and I will be back when our Cut Lumber starts thinning out :)

Cut Lumber-this is a huge bar of hunky soap perfect for that dirty hunky manly man in your life. This soap is definitely ballsy and not for sissies! No foo foo girly smelling soap here!

Blackstrap Licorice-Licorice was my favorite candy when I was a kid and the smell of this soap makes me want to take a bite out of it! 

Now I'm eyeing that lilac soap, it looks lovely!
