making soap by c a i tlin

The first Beehive activity I participated in was soap making back in May and I am still enjoying the beer-rosemary-avocado-coconut (what!) shampoo bar that I made in the workshop. I thought I’d pass along this opportunity to purchase a whole set of supplies for those who are interested in getting their hands dirty, er, clean, with soap making.   My sense is that this lot of supplies for sale by Jen would [...]

The machine comes with its own sewing table which is about 3′ long X [...]
