keep it clean

My soapmaking buddy, Jesse, and I were busy Wednesday evening, mixing up the first batches of soap with springtime fragrances. I was interested in soapmaking for years before I actually learned how (thanks, Diane C!), but I held off because of the oh-so-scary lye and the presence of a toddler in the household. Now, of course, I know that the Big Bad Lye warnings are a little overblown and I think it's cool that the little boy has become a young man who is an experienced and enthusiastic soapmaker. All that mixing is definitely more fun with a partner. Mmmm...the fragrances!
