Title: Hello from Staffordshire!
Post by: kathryn on February 11, 2012, 07:13:40 PM
Hello everyone  :)

I've lurked here for a little while and liked it but only just taken the plunge to join you all and I'm looking forward to finding my way around!  And although I first became interested in soap making in January 2011 it took me a whole year to pluck up courage to make my first bar of soap. 

I think I can say I'm hooked.

Hello Kathryn from a fellow knitter.  It's been a really long time since I did any knitting but I've leaped in by learning to do socks.

Welcome aboard your new addiction, you'll love it here.

Hi Kathryn,
 

I actually felt a bit nervous joining the forum!!!

I have been looking at the forum to see who the newbies are!!! Its like starting secondary school all over again!!!

I am hooked too!!!

Cannot believe it has taken me this long to start making soap. I went to college and studied the manufacture of cosmetics!!!!! Nearly 20 yrs ago!!!! Didnt even think of soap making or cosmetics at home!!!  I went into the food industry and just completely forgot that side of me. I became very ill a few years back with ME. Was able to work until last year when the body just clocked out!!!! But with ME you get good days - or you get a few hours - I do not know how it came to me but soaping is absolutely perfect for me now!!! On my bad days i research - mostly on the internet, then when i am well again one of the first things i do (after hoovering!!!!) is soaping!!!!! I am constantly just seeing myself in the future, well, v happy, soaping everyday and making a bit of profit from it. So I do not see the illness as a bad thing - I might never have occured to me to make anything at all had i been well!!! Its so cool too that there is somewhere to chat about soaping too!! My poor man!!!! He is all soaped out!!!! And my family!!!!  :mwaha:
Okey doke -  have fun - hope to chat soon-  :buttrf:
