A Soapmaker’s Journal

🤍🫧Welcome Friends-

Hi, I’m Heather, and this little journal is where all my soapy ideas come to rest. While all my recipes are tried and true, the blog adds a world of soap shed imagination. Welcome into my Soapmaking wonderland.

Soapmaking Hobby is a collection of handmade soap recipes, lessons learned, and quiet kitchen experiments gathered over years of hobby soapmaking and growing into a small-batch soap company. I needed a place to keep my notes, scribbles, and favorite formulas all in one spot, and to share the love of handcrafted soap with other makers along the way.

You’ll find step-by-step tutorials, trusted tips, simple ingredients, and the tools I reach for again and again. I also enjoy digital design, so expect a cozy mix of printables, illustrations, and creative projects sprinkled throughout.

This space is written like a storybook journal, warm, a little nostalgic, and full of heart. You might meet a few characters along the way, but Grandma will always be your main companion, guiding us from the soap pot like she always has.

Pull up a chair and stay awhile. There’s always another batch to make.

I’m so glad you stopped by. 🤍 Soapmaking is a wonderfully enjoyable and rewarding craft, but safety should always come first.

If you’ve never worked with lye before, I encourage you to take a little time to become familiar with proper lye safety and handling before you begin. You may want to start with my post, A Beginner’s Guide to Lye Safety and Soap-making, where we’ll walk through the basics and important safety guidelines together.

A little knowledge and preparation go a long way toward making your time at the soap pot both safe and enjoyable. 🫧🌿

From My Little Soap Corner 🤍
I make each bar in a cozy little 4x12 foot workshop, just a simple setup and a love for soapmaking. Some of the backgrounds and scenes you see are AI-created or enhanced to reflect the warm, rustic feel I imagine for my soap shed. I love creating handmade soap and digital soap-making journals and scenes. This journal is little storytelling nostalgia. Join me in a world of soap-making imagination.       - Heather 🌼🫧
