Getting back to work

The wood burner has been fixed and is up and running again with no problem and I am feeling well. The house is back to as normal as it ever was.

I found a surfactant to add to my laundry soap that is natural.  It will keep the dirt from settling back on the clothes when they are in the washing machine.  My laundry soap worked well to begin with but wait till you try it now!I have started on my shampoos and I should be able to start selling them in a month or two. I have the 'normal' hair done but I am still working on the one for dry hair and oily hair.  I am going to add a goat milk bar soap to the line as well.  I didn't realize how popular this was until everyone started asking me if I carry goat milk soap.  I may add a buttermilk soap if time permits. 

I have already started talking to friends about the garden for this summer and what we are going to grow.  I am going to grow a plant that is a natural way to repel mosquitoes and I will be adding this product to my already up and running line of bug repellents.  We have even been talking about the Farmer's Markets that we are planning to attend.  I know that it is only January, however, I believe that this is the only thing that might get us through the dark and dreary winter and looking forward to spring.
