 My grandmothers used to talk about making homemade soap back in the 1920's & 1930's during The Great Depression.
My Mom said she remembered the adults cooking soap in a big cast iron pot outside over a fire, her dad pouring the soap
into a big rectangular mold, storing it in the barn and cutting it with a large corn knife.

I loved hearing those stories of the "good ol' days", but my soap making experience in the 21st century has been quite different from Grandma's.

I became a soap maker in 2002, after "retiring" from my corporate sales position to become a stay-at-home mom in 2001.
My soap-making adventure started when I bought a bar of handmade soap at a local craft fair, that stung my skin. 
I wondered why, and thought to myself "I bet if I could make soap..."

I bought a couple of soap making books and gave soap-making a try.   The first batch was ugly, and it didn't smell good at all... but it was SOAP!  Yippee!  The thrill of seeing bubbles as I washed up my utensils was so exciting!

I was hooked on the soap-making process from that very first batch! 

I am now into my 22nd year of making soap, and over the years I have added handmade body cream, aluminum-free deodorants
as well as bath bombs to my lineup of products  I often create items that are somewhat "seasonal", such as foot cream, sugar
scrubs, etc.

My products are still made in small batches, to ensure the highest quality. 

Since 2013, I have been blessed to be a resident artist at Tiadaghton House in Lebanon, IL.  Located on the historic "brick street",
at 111 W. St. Louis St.  Lebanon, IL 62254.   Hours are  Tues.-Sat. 10:00 - 5:00;   Sun. 12:00 - 4:00.

I hope you'll stop by and say hello if you're ever in Lebanon, IL!
