When life gives you lemons

Say to heck with it, and go meet your girlfriends for a coffee instead!

Just kidding, you make the best of it because you're a responsible adult and running away from problems doesn't help anything, right? Right? Okay, you've gone for coffee, I get it.

So my swirl turned out not to be a swirl, except in the middle where the toilet paper roll sat. Maybe I was supposed to pull it up and let the soap flow through. Oh well. It is still useful for slicing to give out as samples, or to make into something else.

Cutting it thin means it does that curl thing, not quite the full curls, but that almost naturally wavy look that I want my hair to do. But I digress.


I think I need to work on placement of the curls, but this was a good start I think.


What's your favourite thing to do when life gives you lemons? I'd still like to make limoncello out of my lemons, but that would involve time and money.

Have a great week!

  1. I thought making limoncello would be cheaper than buying it (especially when you got the lemons for free from life), but I guess it depends on the vodka you use. ;)

    I think those curls look really cool as embeds! Makes it look like a twist of lemon in your martini...why do we keep talking about drinking? Hmmm...

    1. Yeah, it'd be expensive either way for me, unless maybe I can afford to buy a lemon farm and a vodka distillery. ;)

      Hey, a twist in a martini, now that's good thinking! (And drinking!) We're prepping for our get together in December by talking about it first.

  2. The soap looks cool Monica! Sometimes when we try to follow a neat technique we end up creating our own cool look and I think you did just that.

    1. Thanks Michelle! You are so right, it just takes the right "mistake" to make something new and wonderful.

    1. Thanks Anne-Marie! You are a great influence in making me look for the brighter side of things and I'm definitely going to keep trying until I get it right.
