I mean, do you see anyone make such a fuss over Drain-O? And that crap is worse.<br /><br />Sandy, it's really easy, and if you're careful, it's not really scary at all. The "hardest" part of it all is probably trying to get the lye. Shoot me an email when you want to get started, it's GREAT!<br /><br />Tewshooz, well, at least I didn't buy glitter :) Yeah, I know what you mean about having to just cragislist the stuff. One day, right?<br /><br />Kristina, I've frozen goat milk for soap making, so if you're going to miss it and you still have a supply of milk, get it in the freezer!<br /><br />gld, no changes in the goat milk recipe (same amount of liquid). But the lye does tend to turn the milk a light brown instead of staying white. I also don't normally scent my milk soaps, just use some powdered oatmeat (via blender) and about an ounce of honey at trace. One of my favorites.<br /><br />Weekend Homesteader, we're not dead....must be doing something right :)<br />Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-47962626239273424272015-02-28T16:24:31.402-06:002015-02-28T16:24:31.402-06:00This sounds like the way I would make soap because...This sounds like the way I would make soap because that's they way I think of things.

Right now, we use goat's milk to make our soap, and we may not have goats next year, so this is very helpful for me.

Now I just make plain soap with lavender essential oil. We like that the best. My stick blender does double duty, too.

Your tutorial made it seem easy and not so scary to make soap at home. When I go to try to make my own soap, I'm going to refer back to your instructions and pick your brain......if that's okay with you :-)Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628662603932607754.post-91781482420015206992015-02-27T17:21:06.677-06:002015-02-27T17:21:06.677-06:00This is probably the first soap making tutorial th...This is probably the first soap making tutorial that hasn't scared the bejeezus out of me. (I'm not sure if that's good or bad.) But, hey (I says to myself), if Carolyn can do it and not die, then why can't I? How's that for rational reasoning?
