The adventures in soap making!

Title kinda sounds like a childrens story book...
My husband got a deer yesterday so for the last two days I have been cutting up meat and bleaching my kitchen...well after cutting and mixing (and now soaking) a huge bowl of meat for jerky I wanted to make some soap! Ah, good ol' soap. Soap making should be some kind of therapy session...its brilliant, relaxes me completely! I have been making 'whipped soap' so sometime now, its AWESOME! Well in whipped soap making you use a hand mixer, a lot! Did I say a lot? Its like 40 mins of non stop mixer-ing...Mind you I have had this poor mixer for like 8 years now and it was a cheap one 8 years ago..its held up to all my mashed potato making, cake mixing and a good bit of soap making...Long story short, time for a new hand mixer! lol
It pooped out on me in the mists of blending my hard oils..
R.I.P. old hand mixer...
