The Happy Little Soap Maker

Today I made goatmilk lye soap. It is currently in a wooden box mold, and by tomorrow, or next day, it will be ready to cut. It is just a simple soap - olive oil, coconut oil, soybean oil, goatmilk, and lye. I didn't add a fragrance because the goatmilk seems to have its own special scent. To me, it smells kinda like peanut butter, LOL.

Check back in a couple of days for pics.

With a heat index of 100+ degrees here in the Ozarks, I have been trying to entertain myself indoors. A few weeks ago I picked up some supplies to make a leather belt (bottom Picture). Yesterday, I finally got it finished. Now if I could just get some other projects finished....sigh....
