I've already been reading along in the forum for a little while and finally wanted to introduce myself. I started making soap last December. My motivation was that my baby developed eczema from commercial baby care products. My very first soap had lots of coconut oil in it and mushroomed out of the mold.
So far I have experimented with castile/bastile recipes and milk soaps. I also successfully made liquid soap via crock pot which had me very excited. I did skip the whole hot process thing for solid soap but plan to make that up in the next couple months. I'm a wintertime garage soaper because I don't want to soap in my kitchen with a little baby in the house and we don't have a basement. Unfortunately my garage gets to around 110F in the summer so soaping is not possible. I am SOOO excited for the cooler months and my soap project list growing by the day . Now I will finally get into coloring and some more interesting fragrance combinations.
I told my husband we have to move to a house with a decent basement ...
P.S.: This forum is absolutely genius
