Why not?

I typed this up over 2 years ago... I'll go ahead and post it (and then do another updated post for 2026).

For the last 4 years I've been busy with other endeavors. I forgot about my little blog. 

But I figured why not update it now?

My friend Tanya closed her Etsy shop in 2019 (I think), so I stopped selling zipper pouches, knit items, and more. My husband and I bought a house and I stayed busy homeschooling my kiddos. I started dabbling in soapmaking. 

Then in March of 2021, I opened my own business! It's called Stephanie's Soapery. I mostly sell online, but started selling at craft fairs last fall. That was more fun than I expected. I had hoped to participate in at least 3 craft fairs this fall, but had a baby in July. That sure does change things! I made lots of my handcrafted skincare (lotion, sugar scrub, shave cream, foot care, etc) and soap before the baby was born. I'm taking a break from making anything new, but I still have lots of great products on my website. 



We're still homeschooling, and getting busier each year as my kids' interests grow.

That's the short version of my life the last 4 years.
