It's a boy!

Well, it's official - we have a boy!

Our Rouen duck has started getting the green head and stripe on his neck. I was hoping it would be a girl, but now I get to name the ducks after The 3 Stooges!

So, here's our first picture of the green headed Moe -

Gorgeous color isn't it?

And to show off another beautiful color - check out the blue on his wings.

And just so Larry and Curly don't get too jealous -

On a smellier note - I made two batches of soap recently -

Peppermint - which looks and smells great! I sprinkled red sugar on top and so far, it looks really neat.

and my first scent layered soap -
Top layer is Beau Brummel (Tobacco and black tea are the dominate notes with hints of fruit and spice)
and bottom layer is Sensual (Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla and Lavender)
I would never had put these two together, but we weren't paying attention to which mold we put the first batch in, so we had to add some more. They go together quite well and I can't wait to see what the finished bar ends up smelling like.
