That is the inspiration for today's #soapysaturday project.
I made double happiness soap on a rope. Double happiness is an auspicious Chinese wedding symbol. I've added a rope (pink paracord) to symbolize "tying the knot".
This is an easy but time consuming project because of the extra step where I embedded 2 ends of the paracord temporarily clipped with wooden pegs to make the rope. I placed small colored beads on the rope which is not necessary but just added for decorations.
After drying, I hanged it just to try out.

Here is the soapmaking video:
Before I end this post, I want to share 1 Corinthians 13:4-12 NIV
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
Happy Anniversary to Gelbert and Rhea (today is their anniversary!)
Advance Happy Birthday to Ate Emma and to Dra. Ruth (Did you know that the two of you were born on the same day?)
