Hello fellow Farmgirls! My name really is Lindalu and I am a soapmaker here in Canada. My Grandmother and her mother were homesteaders in Southern Saskatchewan who made sure I knew how to milk a cow, make butter, skim cream, collects eggs, do something horrible to a chicken (I only had to do that once), pluck a chicken and clean it for food. I was taught young how to bake and preserve. Although they did not teach me how to make soap, they told me how it was done, what a terrible amount of work! I was also taught to sew, knit and crochet so when I saw this over at Mountain Rose Herbs I knew I needed to join in and get to know everyone.
I still love to bake, make jams and jellies from scratch. I prefer to use all my handmade soaps, lotions, creams, etc., etc. I also sell it on weekends as well as at festivals during the summer.
I look forward to getting to know more women who like to do for themselves.
Cheers |

Welcome Lindalu!! I'm also a BC girl transplanted into the states and I'm related to a vast majority, or so it seems, of Saskatchewan (Mennonite). Glad to see another of my Canadian sisters on here. :)
Excuse the mess & the noise, my children are making happy memories |

Debra, there are so many different types of Mennonite it's hard to say if they're the same or not. My heritage is Mennonite, my faith is Christianity.
