About Me

My photo
I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!

Willow Creek Pumpkin Ale Soap

Willow Creek Brewery is our own homebrew moniker.  Tom has made four homebrews now and I used some of his latest one for this fall soap.  Pumpkin Ale, complementary essential oils, and real pumpkin make this soap a great fall choice.


12.5 oz. Olive Oil
12.5 oz. Palm Oil
10 oz. Coconut Oil
5 oz. Sweet Almond Oil

17.5 oz. Willow Creek Pumpkin Ale
5.5 oz. Sodium Hydroxide

1/2 C. fresh cooked pumpkin

1 Tbsp Essential Oils (Allspice, Anise, Cinnamon, Patchouli, Orange, Cinnamon Leaf, Cloves)
1 Tbsp coarse-ground Whole Cloves
2 Tbsp spent grain
1 Tbsp Vitamin E Oil
1 tsp ground Cinnamon
