Bare Naked Sylvia

Years ago, when I finally decided I was ready to make soap using the cold process method, I created a recipe that to this day remains my favorite one of all. I've tweaked it a little over the years, but its most powerful elements continue to be the naturally deodorizing lemongrass essential oil and the skin scrubbing apricot seeds.

I won't get into the details of how I came up with the name. That story is a neogreek tragedy plagued with unrequited love, unfathomable avarice, and mind boggling inherent torture. I may be blowing things out of proportion but all you really need to know is that I was inspired by someone to make something completely natural for the first time.

I've already fallen by the wayside, and haven't kept my promise to write once a week. Roger and I have started the process of buying a brand new home and we've been stuck doing paperwork, gathering documents, and in countless meetings. We're both very excited about the whole thing, especially since the floor plan we chose will offer enough space for him to have his own music room and me to have my own crafting area. I already have my eye on a few pieces of furniture that are really going to help me work more efficiently and are aesthetically pleasing. It's going to take quite a few months, but when the Terra Craft-Room is ready I'll be sure to share some pictures.
