Who is the Barn Cat?
I'm so glad that you've found my tiny little space on Etsy. I'm so excited to finally bring my love of creation, science, DIY, simplicity, technology and paperwork (I can really organize a 3-ring binder) to life.
Several years ago I stumbled upon a blog about soap making , and since I love to craft and DIY, I thought it was an interesting new thing to try. Then I found out I was pregnant with my first child. YAY! But probably not the best time to be playing with lye. So I dreamed and sketched and quilted baby blankets. After Kitten #1 was born, medical issues and post partum depression became my new reality and the dreams for BCC got pushed aside for a while. Then I found out I was pregnant with Kitten #2. Yay! Still not a great time to play with lye. Fast forward to Kitten #2 being 3 months old and the girls gave me a soap making class gift certificate for Christmas (Thanks husband!). That was all it took.
While I was waiting for that first batch of soap to cure I looked at all these fabulous oils and scents and started researching what else I could make. And that is where the lip balm, body balm, beard oil, and bath fizzies came in. I had to keep creating while waiting for that amazing soap to be ready to use!
So look around, ask me questions! If you see something you like but not in that shade, or you want to order in quantity or customize labels, just let me know. I love to create custom pieces for people to suit their needs.
