Sit and Chat with Holly | MO River Soap

Hi everyone! It's Holly! In this video, we're trying a super casual sit and chat video while I package up some products and show you what's coming up soon. I am hoping to reopen my online shop next week but we are in a holding pattern at the moment.

You look so much more relaxed, happier and not so stressed out. It’s great to see that you are happy and you’re living your dreams.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! This has been a really hard year for many different reasons. I would call it our worst yet. BUT, we are in our happy place and there is much joy to be found still!

Beautiful Holly… I find myself sitting laughing, as you are very comical, These new style videos are just fantastic, I love them!! Im so happy you are back with us, such a beautiful soul you have! 💛🙏

Hi Holly from Kalispell! Packaging butters and watching your video….you always make me giggle! If you like trying local yarn makers… my good friend Shannon Longfield up in Columbia Falls owns Unicorn Fluff! She raises her own animals and harvests her wool and it is gorgeous! Just bought a scarf from her at the market and I treasure it! Check her out! Glad to see you settling in….your shop is so great! ♥️ Merry Christmas 🎄

[@moriversoap]

Hi Leanne! Oh that sounds so fun. I will have to look her up too. Thank you!

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

When i figured out to knit, i put my crochet hooks down 😂...and i crocheted stuff like doilies made from thread(was best of show at the county fair, in fact). I dont really miss it because i find knitting is more in line with what i want to make (socks, hats, ect). LOVE those pricey yarns, so worth the money to knit with alpaca or merino wool. I have totally fired Red Heart and Lion brand yarns....gasp....ive become a yarn snob!!😅 Ill have to run up to Whitefish and check that yarn shop out next time I'm in town! So happy your log cabin is on the horizon. Dream come true!!❤

[@moriversoap]

I have been the same way for the most part. I do like to crochet amigurumi every now and again. But that's the only crochet you're going to catch me doing. I just love knitting. Have you purchased from Montana Crochet? She dyes amazing yarn as well. She's over by Great Falls I think, but does not have a storefront. I buy mostly from her and Polka Dot Sheep but also have Three by the Sea, Arcane Fiberworks, Needles at the Ready, Area 51 Fibres, etc.. Thank you...we are very excited about the cabin!

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

@@moriversoap I haven't heard of Montana Crochet, but I will definitely check her out! We have a large number of alpaca farms here in Ohio, so I usually pick up some at the local wool festivals. 😊

Hey! Holly, you are a friend to us all. I fondly refer to u as " My soap lady!" I was telling my friends at work that you are back. Thanks as ever. Xxx❤

[@moriversoap]

Awe thank you!

[@skyranchsoaps]

I saved this video for a day I might need a friend. Today was that day. Thank you so much for the friendly, adorable peek into your studio and update. I wrap my soap in glassine bags, very similar to your paper. I might look into sheets. My grandma taught me how to knit when I was a very young girl, and I made the cutest socks. I would like to try it again, where do you get your patterns? Did you take a refresher course on-line? Thanks again for the chat ❤

[@moriversoap]

I am glad I could be your friend and spend some time with you! I have done the glassine bags too. I like how the paper folds up better (I figured out how I used to do it later off video and it's much better now) and makes neater edges for packaging. That's just a personal preference though. I used to package some soaps in kraft bags as well but those were super stiff and took up way more room in the box than it should have. The bags are still much easier to use. I LOVE & ADORE The Crazy Sock Lady. You can watch her videos and follow along and also buy many of her patterns. I still have only done vanilla socks on 9 inch circulars but have learned to use magic loop from the portions of the sock making that still require that extra wire. Kay also has Vlogmas so you might want to sit and spend some time with her as well. She's a lovely person.

[@angief892]

Holly it's great to see you, I've really missed you. I loved the video it was just like catching up with a friend. You definitely cheered me up your sooo funny, and such a beautiful person.

[@CoventinaSoapery]

Aw my goodness Holly, I'm glad you march to the beat of your own drum, very much the same here! Here I am, relaxing after packing orders & very much enjoying your video. It's past 1 am here in the UK, & I am only half way through the video, but had to jump into the comments. I have my own sort of language too, (I call it my 'lungage'),. Me & my partner have such a love of words ('wurbs') & really enjoy altering them on purpose, (on 'berbuss'), just for fun of the sounds & sometimes mental imagery. Legs are 'lebs', eye balls are 'eye bulbs' & we don't hear things we 'ear' them. That's just a few 🤭

That's so fun! Your comment reminds me that my dad used to say eye bulbs too! Haha!

I just really love how simple your soap labels are. I’ve really been trying to figure out how I wanted to wrap them. I though about the bands and I just don’t know. I wrap my melt and pour in coffee filters which I love but the square soaps are harder to figure out.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I have done bands here and there and they are such a pain! The easiest version for me was when just using a label version on a soap box. But even then, it was such a pain to match up all the sides.

Your cabin sounds wonderful and I know now why I love your personality you do appreciate your upbringing it was probably better than those who lived in mansions.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I will check out that knitter. Sounds fun! I need to open to help fund this build. Haha...but not funny either. 😉 There is a song that talks about how love grows best in small houses. I think that's true. When a house is too big, you can go to your corners and not see each other. We experienced that in the old house. We have done really well in the fifth wheel but having the workshop and a warm space to us to spend time in is very refreshing. The cabin is going to be just the right size I think! The pattern is from Ysolda and it's called the Musselburgh. When you get the pattern, you also can use the Excel sheet they designed to figure out what size you should make the hat based on preferences and your gauge. It's so awesome! You can find it on Ravelry as well but this is the website for it. ysolda.com/products/musselburgh

[@rebeccapayne247]

Where did you find your shower steamer mold I love it ❤ thank you for sharing

[@moriversoap]

Thanks! I had it custom made from a shop on Etsy.

[@lifewithamberb]

If you have a ups store near you they have an option where you can get deliveries dropped there and then you can pick them up. I'm not sure how much that costs

[@moriversoap]

We did end up getting a UPS store mail box. It has helped a lot. We still have billing issues because this is our billing address.

[@lifewithamberb]

That's wild! @@moriversoap

[@VWeiss-et8pi]

Are you using the label setting to print labels? They come out so much better.

[@moriversoap]

Oh yes. We've tried all the settings.

Laura Ingall’s lives! You should reread the ones where they are building.

[@moriversoap]

I probably should! Building is a challenge!

I just recently lost my dad on the 4th. I have been wanting to learn how to make soap and feel now is the best time to occupy me. Please , Please tell me a beginners video for me to start out with . How did you start out with your first batch. I just need therapy . Thank you ❤

[@Magnoliasouthcreations]

I’m pretty sure holly has one for beginners. Katie Carson at royalty soap has a beginners academy on here as well. If you have any questions and she is busy shoot me a message I’m happy to help as well. It’s a great thing to get into.

[@tcooper802]

@Magnoliasouthcreations Yes please any suggestions or advice yoir willing to share or which videos are best for beginners I would greatly appreciate. Thank you!

[@Magnoliasouthcreations]

Anytime.

[@moriversoap]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Having a new project that excites you will help heal your heart. I don't have much for tutorials and I'm out of the loop with the other makers. But I do think Katie has a beginners series. Brambleberry/The Soap Queen also has a beginner series but it's pretty old at this point. Check out Lovin Soap and The Nerdy Farmwife as well.

[@Magnoliasouthcreations]

@@moriversoap she does that’s what I was telling her about I thought you had done something in the line of a starter video as well though if not you should your a good maker and your advice is always sound

[@loril.reader6654]

What kind of paper do you wrap your bars with?

[@moriversoap]

It's a wax-type paper. I think they call it a food wrap, grease proof.

[@loril.reader6654]

Thank you! I'm so go glad your back

[@joytomasevic9679]

Hi Holly, just wondering what type of paper you're using to wrap your soap?

[@moriversoap]

It's a deli wrap/grease proof paper. I got mine at Amazon.

[@joytomasevic9679]

perfect, thank you@@moriversoap

[@dianeshort8066]

How can I make shower steamers without menthol. What would the amount of oils be? Thank you.

[@cbkqmom]

You could try peppermint, don’t know amounts tho

[@moriversoap]

I haven't made steamers without menthol. I am in the Cada molds group and if you search the steamers and read comments, there have been some tips and tricks for making them without menthol.

[@IrishQ76]

What happened to your boxes from before?

[@moriversoap]

I changed my bar size so the boxes no longer work. I found some that I liked this year that would work, but they were entirely too expensive.

[@americanmade1701]

Love your knitting..I've got into machine knitting too as I do alot of charity knitting..Im the hat lady..lol..I continental knit how about you???

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! That's definitely a good way to streamline your process then! I do continental knitting as well. 😊

[@nguyenrtv]

may I ask where you get your olive oil : ) ~~

[@moriversoap]

Currently Costco is less expensive than paying shipping with the suppliers. Olive Oil has significantly raised in price and Costco is still the best for me.

[@nguyenrtv]

@@moriversoap agreed. olive oil is so so so so so pricey now for me , its Sams club or Costco for me as well

[@moriversoap]

Thank you!

[@cbkqmom]

I want to thank you for your share. As an artist wanting to make an online site… I did not know. I looked it up, I’m so sorry honey! ((((Giant huge hug, dude I’m so sorry I can’t do more kinda hug)))) What a nasty, evil, grabby thing- no reason not to just contact you, besides greed. I called my friend who does have a site, abstract paintings… he said WHAT?! He is fixing his site.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you! I am glad it was helpful!

[@reginacorbett-mortgageloan8956]

Sorry to hear you were sued. I’m not sure I understand what alt text means.

[@moriversoap]

Thank you. It was a difficult time in my life.

[@phatwombat4241]

what ever happened to that law suit you were unfairly involved in?

[@moriversoap]

We aren't able to disclose any details but it's in the past at least.
