The good thing about repetitive work is that it does go quicker once you get the hang of it. The pouring of the soap isn't bad although I still have spills or too many air bubbles or make too many of one letter. But you know what takes some skill? Heat shrink wrapping. I think I've finally got it sort of figured out, but that doesn't mean I'm still not overheating and creating holes in the wrap, but I'm doing less of that than I was at the start. I've also figured out how to heat it at the right angle so that it actually shrinks down.
I think I'm about 3/4 of the way complete, but I'll have to make sure to count it all before I ship them so that I haven't given them too many or too few.

Good for you! Practice does make perfect...it's one of those cliches that are totally true. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great space for laying them all out. Good thing you eat in front of the tv anyway, eh? LOL!
That is why tv was invented,wasn't it? So you can ignore family and have an excuse to spread everything else on your eating surface?
ReplyDeleteWe spread reading materials all over our dining table so we can ignore each other. ;)
DeleteYou do a good job of it too. ;)
DeleteWow! You've certainly been busy. That is a whole lotta soap. What is that little box on the left side of the pic? Is that a tiny soap cutter? I love all the soapy colors :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that wasn't all of them, I still had to finish the brown ones and start the black ones. The box looking thing are actually coasters. I was too lazy to move them. :)
