It took a chance meeting with another hobby soapmaker to get me back into soapmaking again. I'd given it up a couple of years ago after finding that our flat was filling up with bits of soap that I simply couldn't get rid of. Still haven't solved that problem, but the pleasure and challenge of soapmaking has got me going again. Hopefully, friends will be happy with their gifts.
Yesterday I tried out a new recipe that required very careful handling. Time will tell if it's worked out, but it shows promise. I love the vanilla fudge look of it and can't wait to see how well it lathers and how long it will last. Unfortunately, it will be at least four weeks before that can happen, so in the meantime I'll be trying out more new recipes, and yes, the house will start filling up with trays of soap. But it's fun.
