    As an elementary art teacher I love love that you post when things go wrong. That is how crafting and art goes sometimes . I always ask my kids when do artists stop making mistakes? They often answer when they are adults or experts. I say “never” Our class motto is “make strong mistakes” because it proves you are taking creative risks and learning.

      My niece wants to learn to crochet like her mom, or knit like me. But she wants to be perfect like us right off the bat. I keep trying to tell her that the more advanced you get, the more mistakes you make, but the better you get at fixing the mistakes (or the better you get at hiding them or shrugging them off). She doesn't believe me. Or rather, she didn't believe me, until she heard me mutter "oh crap" one day when working on a sweater. Her jaw hit the floor. I didn't tell her that it was super minor and only took me about 5 seconds to fix, only that I made a mistake. Wish she'd seen the mistake I made a couple weeks ago. Took me 2 hours to fix! (Super advanced lace, and I dropped a stitch that went down 3 rows...)

Not everyone would have the guts to post such a major fail and then go to all the effort of discovering why the failure happened and using it as a teaching moment for all our baby soap makers.

    • @TheKarret
      @TheKarret 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@j4605 Yeah, true. Though, older doesn't necessarily mean more obscure - most people know a lot of Disney's old stuff, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, iirc was from the 30s, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, all well known and made long ago. Even other movies like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is still well-known and referenced. I don't think Monsters vs. Aliens got as popular as Ice Age - I was like 11 when that came out and I remember it being everywhere; I hardly ever heard anything about Monsters vs. Aliens; no promo for it, rarely aired on TV... it definitely seems to have fallen through the cracks, even though it's more recent, so that's why I suggested that one as an obscure movie.
      Movies that fall through the cracks are the ones that get labeled "obscure", while the popular old ones get "classic" instead. Frozen will probably be considered a "classic" to most people as time goes on because of how huge it got, with whole years going by of LET IT GOOOOOOOO etc; but I don't think Coco hit that same level of high when it first came out; it made quite a few hundred million less in the box office, it could fade and become more obscure in the future.

    New soap maker here and I’m literally relieved that this happened. I stepped out of my comfort zone (not a big step) and tried a new recipe recently. This exact thing happened and I’ve been trying to get up the courage to make a new batch because I felt like a total failure. Now, I wonder if it was a fragrance mishap and not me. Maybe there’s hope in my soap making future! LOL Thanks for being so up front even when things go wonky!!!

    Katie,
    I DID do something fun for myself, I watched YOU sweetie! You make me happy and I smile from ear to ear when I watch your videos. I bet I'm not the only person that you make happy with them! You are talented and always genuinely yourself, and you bring such a sweet vulnerability to everything you do. Your gentle, caring personality are so endearing to your fans. You always, ALWAYS lift my mood and although I have no intention of ever making any soap, I love watching you do it.
    Katie, it's not the soap that grabs my attention, it's you! Your happy, bubbly, excited, and joyful personality just makes me happy too. You are the only soap maker I continually watch. Although I have looked at the others, they can't keep my attention and give me any of the joy and happiness that you do.
    You are an absolute gem of a person and I think you're amazing! Your eccentricities are what make you so charming and engaging. Please never change. You are perfect just as you are.
    May God bless you and your entire family, keeping His hand of protection always over you.
    In Jesus Christ's Holy name.
    Amen.
