Welcome to my Webpage and to my COLD PROCESS HAND SOAP section!

I have been making soap for about 10 years now.  I started out making our family's hand soap for years and have been making hand soap to sell in shops and online for a few years now.  I love making soap!  I love trying different techniques, different swirl designs, and have recently added in making soap dough and then crafting items to embellish my soap with soap dough. 

There is no soap dough with this particular soap.  Lavender soap is one of the "old standbys" for the scent alone.  I grew lavender in my garden and saved the lavender buds and thought I would add some buds to the soap as an extra bonus!

Giving soap as a gift is such a wonderful idea especially for a gardener you may know as well as a teacher gift, coworker gift, friend gift, stocking stuffer and the list goes on!

Thank you for stopping by and please check in periodically as new soap is added year round!

The scent on this is amazing....so crisp and clean (eucalyptus and peppermint).  I decided to make this a 3 layer soap starting with a dark indigo, then a medium indigo and then a very creamy off white with a softly carved top.  It looks very stylish and the scent is memorable!  

This soap probably will not be available very long - lots of positive feedback.  Would be a wonderful stocking stuffer, coworker gift (for everyone), hostess gift...you are only limited by your imagination!  No, seriously this soap is amazing!

A wee bit early but just in case I don't have a chance to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Color-wise, this soap could be suitable for both Fall and Winter/Christmas - red/green/gold colors and to make it really special it is scented with a mix of Apple Bourbon and Kentucky bourbon scents!  The top of the bar is swirled with the above-mentioned colors and the addition of dried cranberry seeds as well!

Getting started on Fall and Holiday soaps is my happy time!  So many ideas and sometimes not enough time but I am getting there!  

We moved in April and spent a good amount of time and more setting up my "soaping area" which has ended up being stored in a nice den off the kitchen/living room and my old standby art table in the same area of the kitchen/living room.  

I am truly in my happy space now and will be creating more soap and art in the years to come!

Hope you all have a wonderful Fall, Christmas, New Year and rest of the year and on and on and on!

I have been wanting to add a slice of orange to a soap for a while and it was fun to make it happen.  It is a spicy cinnamon scented soap and the two colors are wonderful.  I hand sliced and dried the orange slice on each soap.  I also added dried cranberry seeds to the top of the soap.  I really liked the look of the orange slice and may be making a key lime pie soap and add a slice of lime on top!  Stay tuned!

This would be a lovely gift for that special someone you know who loves botanicals and spicy hand soaps and Christmas is coming!   

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
