Any updates on this? Sounds really interesting?

My little display for our local tourist stop on the N4. Proud to be 'on sale' at Milly's!

Thx all. Will attempt tomorrow.

I am interested!

Not sure? Have never worked with lard. I use tallow, since it is an Afrikaanse "Boere" thing. Traditionally our forefathers made soap using only tallow - this "Boerseep" is renonwed in our country for its super-cleaning ability. I just added the citric acid and Lemon EO because I think it...

Where can we find the entry thread - would love to see what you guys have done?

Ok, the lavender is done - here comes the carrots, cucumbers and rice!

What a weekend! I must really make a plan with this purifying of tallow. After struggling to find tallow, a guy phoned on Thursday, offering me 120kg at a bargain price - desperate, I took it. What have I gotten myself into! Needless to say, I spent the whole weekend rendering and purifying...

Thx. Will try these.
