Hi, and welcome, Michael,
I am Lindy, from Cape Town, South Africa. I am also interested in learning 
more about soap-making. Living in South Africa, I am finding it rather 
difficult to find soap-making kits to start off with. There are some places 
to order from, but they don't seem to stock kits for beginners as such.
Unfortunately, it is not worth the cost to order from on-line shops in the 
UK or the US at this point in time.
I also like doing origami, card-making, sewing, scrap booking and crafts 
with and for my toddlers.
I started a business last year selling mainly children's products, including 
safety products, crafts and stationery and educational toys, etc. One of my 
aims with the business is to be able to create my own line of bath products 
for children. I am currently buying soap and related products and then I put 
different kinds of things together and repackage them. For instance, I might 
put together a bath sponge, a fish-shaped soap and a nail brush in a basket 
and sell this as one product.
Eventually, I would like to make my own soap and bath products. I am also 
interested in learning more about working with beads and clay.
Best wishes.
Lindy
