Hi, someplace, nice to see you again.
Hello to you Sweetness! I've never made soap before. Is it hard to do? When I was little I watched my grandmother make lye soap. That stuff was NASTY!

SEEEEEEEEEE!
It is my opinion that we all have something special to share. Some may have to dig a little farther to find it, but it's THERE!
I have a very hard time finding lotion & soap in the scent I favor. If I could make my own, I wouldn't have to hunt all over creation for it!

You are so nice!
No, though I could teach you how to make lye soaps, I do not make them myself because it is a time consuming drawn out process, and is a bit dangerous for me, as I am umm....high maintenance when it comes to danger and common sense.
I make glycerin soaps that are all natural, I use as many of my own herbs and flowers as i can get my hands own, and they are very easy to make....I posted instructions and recipes in lavenders 'beautification' thread.
I also sell these soaps and other bath products I make in consignment shops.

Hi, someplace, nice to see you again.
I like to learn more about a few of those things.
I recently learned how to lay cement block, does that tempt you?

The only thing I know anything about is cooking. lol
For Someplace, by request:
Cream Gravy:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1-2 cups milk
salt
black pepper
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and whisk for 3-5 minutes over a medium heat. Do not allow the mixture to darken past light tan.
Add 1 cup of the milk slowly, whisking constantly. Bring mixture to boil. If it's too thick, add more milk. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
White sauce: same as above only use light chicken stock in place of milk. Make sure the stock is not hot (room temp or slightly cooler).
Brown gravy:
Same as above, only brown the butter/flour slightly, whisking CONSTANTLY and substitute a good quality beef stock for the milk.
To avoid pasty, lumpy gravy always make sure that the liquid you add to the butter/flour is room temperature or cooler.

Another good one is www.from-nature-with-love.com
If you request a catalog, you willl be amazed! This catalog has instructions on every bath product you can imagine making, terminology, a complete listing and descriptions of herbs, oils, and additives, etc. They also include recipes. It is a wonderful and very informative site.
