Hi everyone!

I have stumbled across this forum on the GCSTM website and thought I would introduce myself. My name is Aster and I run The Real Ale Soap Company alongside being a mum of one, in worcestershire. My husband is a brewer so this definitely helps with obtaining supplies! I am looking forward to chatting to other soap makers and sharing ideas and tips.

Aster  ;D

You've hit here just after a flurry of beer soaps and people here would defiitely love to see pics of yours!!

Hi Aster,

A very warm welcome to the forum.  Yes, it's been beer soap a plenty recently (and don't they make lovely soaps!)  :buttrf:  I hope you enjoy it here  :)

Hi and welcome!  :buttrf:

Hi and welcome!

Hi Aster (lovely name, this is what I wanted for my daughter but spelt Asta, her father (illiterate) said he didn't want it as he couldn't spell it, we ended up with Danielle!! LOOOL) Welcome to this wonderful forum x

Welcome :buttrf: :)

Seriously? That is LOL :mwaha:

Welcome to Fresholi, Aster, lots of info and friendly peeps here.

Thanks for the lovely welcome!  :-* My name is quite unusual I guess, I hated it when I was younger but I like that it is different now, my family are all flower names (hippy parents or something...  ::))
How funny that there has been a flurry of beer soaps! I adore the way the beer enhances the soap, must pop off to find some of those other ones.
Here are a few pics of my favourites for you:
Triple hop (this uses ground hops, pure hop oil and a super hoppy beer, Hop Bomb

Look forward to getting to know you all.  ;D

Heehee, sorry...  :mwaha:

Wow!  Those soapies look AMAZING!  :buttrf:

Yes LOOOOOOL

Don't be sorry LOL we call her Nell now cos none of us like her real name  :snnger:

Great looking soaps

Aww Nell is really cute! My little one is Eva, but squeezed Rose in as a middle name and less mad flowery name!!

Darling Buds of May springs to mind (love that show)

 :mwaha:
 ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have Lilly as one of my middle names!

One?

 :hi:

Hello and welcome! :hi:

my daughter has 2 middle names, when my son was born I wanted him to have two too but my husband said it was pretentious ridiculous and he didn't want any middle names at all, we argued a lot and then settled on him only having one, I am still furious with him!!

Oh and a huge welcome to the forum Aster!!

Now those soapies are lovely , EJ will love them , very natural.

My friends 3 boys all have 2 middle names, I was trying to get Kelly to tell us the others lol :)

Eva has two, she is an Eva Rose Louise, I hope I don't have another girl as I used all my middle names up now!! :mwaha:

My daughters is Helena Alice Lucy, after my favourite aunt, Alice Cooper and Lucy Maud Montgomery (who wrote Anne of Green Gables)

We call her Peg, her brother calls her Row Row (as in .............. your boat)

Welcome to the forum - your soaps look lovely!   :buttrf:

Since we're talking about middle names, mine is Emily - my mum was originally going to give it to me as a first name, but apparantly instead of the delicate little girl she was expecting, I was an enormous fat baby, and didn't suit such a dainty name.  So my mum tells me.  Thanks mum.   ::)

 :mwaha: Sorry...  ;D

Eva was 9lbs 6ozs so will tell her the same thing!!

 :mwaha:

I was a 10lb fattie when I was born (poor mum  :egad:)

I have two middle names and so does my son (none of them are short neither - poor kid, it'll take him as long as it does me to fill out forms when he's older  ::)).  My daughter only has one though, so we gave her another extra honorary one so she doesn't feel left out (the only reason we didn't give her the extra one when we registered her birth is because it's a real 'gobfull' trying to say them - we kept it nice and easy :mwaha:).

What are they then?  I don't have a middle name :( as my name is made up of many as my Mum says, Joan, Jo, Joann, Anna, it was either Michelle (Beatles song) or Joanna (Scott Walker) seeing as my Mum hated The Beatles it was Joanna!

Te he...  :mwaha:


Mine are Ellizabeth Catherine, N's are Christian Oliver and A's is Elizabeth with an honorary Eva.

I hate filling forms in  :mwaha:

Hello and welcome to the best forum anywhere in the world.  I only have one middle name anf it is after my favourite grandmother.

Kelly Marie Lilly Ellis, I hate it!

Tut nothing wrong with that !!  Cousins daughter is Lily-Rose !

lol I bet you do, my friends kids are Callum Nathaniel Jake, Bram Ethan Jacob and Gabriel Levi Jonah and a long surname lol

Hi Aster! Welcome to our happy place! We're talking middle names? My first and middle are Lynette Marie. My mom only called me Lynette Marie when I was in trouble, so it sends chills up my spine. She calls me Lynnie, now.

Your soaps look so nice! Good to have your business and the husband's compliment each other. Haha!
