Xylie, please report on the soap project. I'd really like to make my own soap products but dh isn't so keen on the idea. This one sounds doable without too much ickiness.
Irish, I'm tired of sitting in the recliner all day. I have to get out a little because I just go nuts in the same 4 walls. I pick things where I go just a little, like Dollar Tree with its limited space, not Walmart. I always take my wheelchair to Walmart and grocery store, etc.
The handcrank conversion is only about $20. Very cheap.
I'll take a picture of her soon. I need to photograph some quilts also.
