I started making Goat Milk soap some years back when our little nanny gave us more milk than we could use. I did some research on the internet for recipes and from there was able to produce some fairly decent soap. For some reason I started having lye pockets (assuming undissolved lye) in my cured soaps, so over time I've been trying to figure out how to solve that problem. While I was researching on it today I came across this forum and was blown away by all the knowledge here. So here I am! I've spent most of the day reading on this forum and I'm enthused all over again at the prospect of not only being able to solve my lye-pocket-problem but expanding and trying new things.
I live in a very rural area, we keep chickens, horses, rabbits and usually a big garden. I also can and freeze dry food, work with stained glass, felting, oil painting and build rock walls.
