I've been kicking around the idea of starting something like that here. I'd love to know more people like me locally (rather than in the blogosphere). I am sure it would be a challenge and a lot of work at first, but oh, it would be wonderful. I now have all my soap supplies and will get to it this week. I will, undoubtedly, post about my experience.

You take wonderful photos, but if I recall correctly this is something you've learned in the last handful of years. Anything is possible as long as we try and I know that you do!

I bet you'd be a natural at it--or at least a quick study! I'd like to say I'm here if you ever have any questions or anything, but I know I've sure learned the most muddling through on my own. But, you know, if I could be of help I'd be glad to. I finished the dress, but haven't gotten around to taking decent photos of it yet. But, soon!BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-70206936614064997232014-04-07T21:02:18.819-06:002014-04-07T21:02:18.819-06:00I am so pleasantly surprised and pleased to be abl...I am so pleasantly surprised and pleased to be able to help you appreciate more the new directions your library is taking! I can see the concern about losing traditional library services, but I can see this as a very valuable new service for our communities! Of course, balance is key. And you are 100%, totally a maker. And a great one at that!BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-40584058183791264762014-04-01T17:21:05.045-06:002014-04-01T17:21:05.045-06:00I love this post!

The library is always short of money, so I thought it made sense to stick to traditional library turf. But you explained how logical it is to encourage people to make things via the library, a shared community space. Wow.

I take part in another venture of hers on a once a month basis, called "make and cake", the eating part is just as valid as the making part!<br /><br />Our local home ed community also has access to a community workshop where the kids can throw a pot, work on a woodturning lathe or have a go at all things techie with a raspberry pi!<br /><br />Let us know how you get on with the soap making!<br /><br />San x Sandra Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260644073051470011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-90976718666828567642014-03-30T11:06:40.109-06:002014-03-30T11:06:40.109-06:00I love this post.
