Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, I just joined today!
I love making my own soap though, and wondered if anyone else here does?
BTW- I also make my own laundry soap.  |

Hey Brenda,
Welcome to the Farmgirl Connection.
I am making soap too. But I am fairly new at it. Currently I make liquid laundry soap, dishwasher detergent and toothpaste. Still trying to tweek the dishwasher soap though. I still find some whitish powder on some of my dishes, and the dishwasher door does not seem to get cleaned like it did with store bought soap. Hmmmm

Welcome Brenda,
I make my own dishwasher soap. I want to venture into organic soap making with my daughter.
Sheri,
I use white vinegar in the rinse cycle and that takes off all the white residue and keeps the dishwasher clean too.

I am getting soap making lessons in a few weeks from a girl I met at the market. We are bartering a buck for her to breed her does in Dec. but she will be making soap in a few weeks. So I will get to finally learn how from someone who has done this for a while now. She doesn't live in a house so has to wait for good weather to make soap. This should be interesting.

I don't know what she lives in. She is part of a community called Sequatchie Valley Institute in Tn. not far from me. They live in a very wooded place and build homes from whatever is on the property. I haven't been there yet so am not sure but have seen pictures on their web site. There was a log home but it's open and they don't use electricity. So no AC and it gets humid so it's hard to make soap most of the time. They do alot of work shops and grow all their food and raise their owm meat. She has some goats of course for the milk and soap. The guy that wrote Wild Fermentation, Sandor Katz, goes their alot to give talks on fermenting. I want to meet him. They are all very interesting people. I want to live there myself except I'd have to have air conditioning! I'll let ya know when I go.

Hi Brenda! I make my own soap and I also sell organic soap on my etsy site. : ) It's been a very rewarding craft to learn and I absolutely love it.
A good source of soapmaking supplies is GloryBee. They have the fats, molds, oils, and all the extras.
