Guess what I learned to make on Saturday?!
Soap! That's what!
I signed up for a soap making workshop on Facebook. It was held by a lovely lady in her own home (how hospitable) and was free - all she asked was for a donation to the hospice.
It was a lot of fun learning to make soap and it was also lovely to meet like minded people.
I look forward to making soap shortly myself at home. I need to organize myself and buy a few pieces of equipment.
It's not a massively difficult project but serious care is needed when dealing with certain ingredients - in particular the caustic soda/lye.
After 24 hours this is the result of our work. The soap will be cut now and then left for a few weeks before packaging up.
This is the finished product. How great do they look.....and oh my gosh the smell!
Watch this space - I will blog about my soap making once I get down to it.
