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!

Soapmaking 101 Workshop

Everything is now ready for my first workshop and I'm really excited.  Six participants have signed up for Saturday's workshop at my home.  We'll be learning all about equipment and ingredients and much more!  We will make a batch of soap together and everyone will get to take home some bars from that batch along with their choice of my own soaps.  The workshop will run from 9 AM until 2 PM and lunch is included.  These women are all friends so I hope they will be honest in their evaluations as I prepare to take a series of soap workshops to the public.  What fun!
