i always come back here. this is where i’ve always belonged, here at fip.com. i think i’ve always needed my own space, and that’s why i find it so hard to let this site go, even though i know i never will completely. i disappear for some months, then i pop back up again. one day i will figure out how to manage this the way i want to, to use it for the purpose that i imagine but for some reason can’t realize.
so anyway, i’m back to update the template, and to get things organized and in order for my new project: soapmaking!
forever, i’ve wanted to make soap. and jessica and i did a long time ago, but it was just the lame-o melt and pour kind. i wanted to make REAL soap, real nice hard bars with oils just for my skin and scents that make me excited to take a shower. i think i never did it when i was younger because i was scared (you know, of all the measuring and the lye and the mess), i didn’t have my own space, and i never researched it thoroughly enough to know how easy it really was. recently, though, since i’ve been unemployed, i realized that now is the time. if i don’t do it now, when will i? so i dove in.
let me tell you, it’s even easier than it seemed when i read through the many photo tutorials available online. once i made that first batch i knew i was destined to make soap, too. soap and yarn. what else does a girl need in her life?
so watch out for kittenlogic bakery bars, which is the tentative name. i’ll be posting up my photo tutorial along with all the new stuff i make. i’m really happy about this development in my life, and i’m feeling so positive about it especially because of how wonderful and encouraging the boy is. i miss the craft world, i miss everyone being online and all of the comments and collaboration and support. i’m going to try to keep myself out there from now on, and who knows? maybe some of us, who wish things would go back to the way they used to be, will find ourselves together again.
