Making soap


Here's a picture of some of my jars of peach butter made Friday evening. I do have to say it turned out great, with a thick consistency and wonderful flavor. That make me happy!


I made a 5 lbs batch of soap today, lavender to be exact. It's now sitting in the mold, curing. I should get 20 bars of soap from this. If a person figures their household uses one bar of soap per week, 2o bars will give them a five month supply. That's not too shabby.

Tip: You can almost alway assume the cost of soap you hand craft yourself, will cost you at least half of store bought soap. Plus, it has great lather, leaves you feeling clean and doesn't dry out your skin. That alone is worth making your own.
