Hello all
I am a mother of four wonderful and loving, grown-up children.
My son, the youngest – almost 21 - still lives at home; the girls are living with their partners and or
family and have a full life of their own. I enjoy it greatly when they come over for a chat, dinner or
something creative and when we get out doing “girly” things or something cultural.
We have a huge Pyrenean Mountain Dog and four cats who adopted our household, which makes
us very happy.
I am working full time and teach technical computer science at a dedicated Information,
Communication and Technology College.
I started making soap some years ago; I have been always into crafts and art. I think I am the
prototype of a DIY person. Science appeals to me too, so I dived into artisan soap making.
I promised myself I would stick to soap making and to stay away from other bath and beauty
products. Well I did not meet that promise – first, my daughters asked “couldn’t you make a cream, a
lip balm, a salve, hair conditioner” and so on, and then other people started to put pressure on me.
Yes, I could, but it would require additional studying, buying and storing of all sorts of oils, butters,
waxes, colourants and chemicals. 
Well, I gave in; it turns out to be great fun and very rewarding, because people are happy with the
products I make.

I'm a member of the Dutch Soapforum and the Dish, but I think it is great to have an opportunity to
meet other European soapers. That's why I am here now, to have fun and share knowledge and ideas.

Nice to meet you 

Hey girl, you took your time.
