Personally I think some other people overdid theirs. I like very much what you did, definitely my style, simple, timeless, elegant. Never apologise for having class 😂

Thank you, Amy! I'm glad you liked it! We love our chickens! 🌿🐔💕 We confirmed we have another rooster today. It is so funny to hear an amateur cock-a-doodle-doo.🫣🐓🤣 I thought he was a rooster. He's a bit mean. He bit my foot the other day. 😬

Now listen, you already stole my heart with your soap making, and now I find out you’re a chicken mamma too? Yay! Lol! So am I! We have silkies, silkie/polish cross, and a D’Uccle. I love them so much! My son wants a couple polish so bad so next Spring we will be adding a couple of those to our flock. Also, yes that polish of yours with the more stringy looking hair (I call it that too) is a rooster. They have the most beautiful “mane” when it grows out! Yours have gorgeous colors! We always end up with white silkies lol but they are so beautiful in all their floofy glory. As always, such a beautiful soap and I have been contemplating trying it out. I need to rewatch your video on dividers so thank you for linking that! And thank you for another great video ♥️ I love the ending addition!

The way you aim for excellence and accept your best is how I approach my soap making too. You deserve every credit and prize you win. Thank you so much for your videos, thank you. I often read all the comments as well as I learn a lot from them too. If I could hit like every time I rewatch a video, I would. 😊

Thank you so much! The Silkies are quite a novelty. Today I discovered another one crowing, so 2 out of the 3 are roosters. I think the other one is too. We were hoping to have at least one Silkie hen. 😬

I LOVE THIS! It gives me that blue and white china plate look? I think it's called blue willow or something along those lines. I love this look so much! The colors, yes, they are simple but they work! This is like a total "go-to". I love this. You did a WONDERFUL job on these. I totally understand though, you work so hard on something and spend so much time on something and you are just not happy how it turns out. Well, even though you do not know me, these are gorgeous. Thank you for another great video, hope to see more new stuff soon! Much love from the PNW! Edit: Had to add that I love your chickens and roosters! They are soo cute!

Love your simplistic design, it's elegant and stylish, and shows exactly what was required for the challenge. Also love the wee glimpse into your life. We mostly only know each other as soap makers, so it's always interesting to see what else goes on in our lives 🥰 I have a few chickens also, 3 black Araucanas that lay beautiful bluey green eggs, and one Dorking, plus my 2 dogs and 2 cats to keep me out of trouble 😁Life is never dull!

@TreeMarieSoapworks 11 ай бұрын

Thank you, Brigid! ❤️ Araucana eggs are so pretty. We got Americanas this time, but we have had Arucanas in the past. My daughter tells me that fertilized Americana eggs are viable and Araucana eggs are not. We know from personal experience. Our Araucana hen got droody and we let her. The eggs hatched but didn't live long. I'm so glad you enjoyed the chickens! ❤️🐔🌿

I am still trying to come up with a good way to keep the batter from oozing under the dividers.

I appreciate your self-criticism, I am the same way. I love baking, but when something doesn't go 120% perfectly, I say "it's ruined! why even bother serving it!". I am reminded by my family not to be too hard on myself, and that something doesn't have to be perfect to be perfect. You are insanely talented, and hope that you leave LOTS of room to be proud of your work! ☺ Also, I really enjoyed seeing your chickens.

Firstly, they’re beautiful soaps. Secondly, I love learning about other people’s lives! Those chickens are so unique. ❤ I like the floofy butts. 😂 I live in the city, so I can’t have livestock. I’d love some goats and chickens. I love cows too, but they’re a lot of work. Not that chickens and goats aren’t… just a different kind of difficult. 😂

@TreeMarieSoapworks 11 ай бұрын

Yeah, cows would be a whole different ballgame! Thanks so much. Oh, I wish you could experience this. I just was out there, and another one of the Silkies (floofy butt chicken) was crowing. That means at least 2 out of the 3 Silkies are roosters. I suspect the other Silkie is a rooster as well. Darn, we wanted at least 1 female.
