Well hello, I'm glad you've dropped by. I'm honestly a complete newbie to blogging. I don't have much of an appreciation of templates, either. They're so very cumbersome and clumsy. I've finally gotten to work on a proper blog for Malkata Soap Works, so that, if you're interested, you can see some of what goes on behind the scenes in my kitchen, with plenty of photos, of course!
If you don't know who I am or my soap company, I'm a homeschooling student from Georgia who has an slightly unhealthy love of soapmaking. What more can I say? Those who don't make soap won't understand, but the precious few that do will totally understand what I'm talking about! It's one of the most fun crafts around, keeps you busy, and it allows you to play around with your creative side.
I'm a self-taught graphic and web designer. I learned HTML a few years ago and I took a course in Java this year, which I've been trying to apply to any and every web page that I code, which isn't exactly working, you see. Java is really hard for me to remember, unlike HTML, which has become second-hand for me. I also really, really enjoy photography and I'll be snapping photos with my little Canon point and shoot whenever I get the chance.
I'm getting a little on the life-story side here, I know, so I'll try to wrap it up so you don't fall asleep on your keyboard.
I'm thinking, to start, I'll make up a little rundown list of my weekly blogging plan (I'm making this up as I go along, though). Thursday and Sunday are technically my "soapmaking" days because they're when I make soap the most, so I'll post photos of my experiences every week on those days. Since summer's just around the corner, I'll have more time to soap and that means more blogging! Yay! On other days of non-soaping, I'll post things unrelated to soapmaking, like gardening and my failure attempts at sewing with my sister, and cooking and the occasional knitting project... (continues rambling)
Thank you for taking some time out of your day to drop by my blog! Come and say "hello" in the comments, if you'd like!

Congratulations on being featured!!
Your soap is gorgeous! I have never made soap before, but I'm very interested and am going to try my hand at it this summer. I look forward to seeing more of your posts! Btw, I am a homeschool student, too :)

Hi Elise,
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the kind words! That's what keeps me motivated, so your comments are very appreciated.
Bianca at Soap Is Beautiful was very sweet about featuring me and I'm so excited that she did! Even if it's only a small amount of exposure on blogs such as hers it makes me happy to see it. That's wonderful that you want to make soap -- trust me, it's a lot of fun and a very rewarding and practical craft. You're a homeschooler, too? Homeschoolers seem so few and far between here on the internet but it's really nice to see someone who does it too.
Do you have a blog? We can talk, if you'd like! Thank you again for coming by and commenting!
