I've been knitting a lot, but I don't have any recent photos, so look at this stuff. I made soap on Monday for the family. I take care of my family in a million different ways, but somehow the feeling I get from making soap for them is the biggest in terms of feeling like actually providing and caring for them. I love mixing the lye with the oils and watching the tracing process, the slow saponification that turns the fats into perfect soap. It's a lavender-lemongrass driven, super-fatted piece of bathing heaven. The kids have insanely sensitive skin, and this soap doesn't give them rashes--in fact, it helps heal their rashes. I use a cold-process oven-curing system that produces a wonderful bar with a pretty quick turnaround. Anyone want to try some? First four to leave a comment get a bar for their very own selves. All vegetable, super-fatted, lavender-scented soap with shea and cocoa butters to really push it into luxury territory. I thought about setting up a soap-selling business a few years ago, but I really prefer to make small batches just for family and friends. Get yourself some.

That is so cool! I bought a book to try and learn how to make soap, but that is about as far as I got.
I'd love to try some!
I would love to try some as well!
Count me in.
It sounds great.
I'd love to learn too.

Well, rats, I'm #5. But it looks awesome! I'd love to see the recipe.
I would love to have a recipe for this so I could make it myself...especially since I missed the cut-off for my own bar!
