I literally have eczema on my cheeks.

I feel you ~ mine has been popping up in new unexpected places ~ like an earlobe and next to my mouth (which really freaks out people), and other places I was not expecting

I'm a Mom and I live in WA State. Super clever, right?

 

[dragonmaker]

I crochet dragons, thus dragonmaker. My avatar is a picture of said dragons.

That’s so cool! I used to crochet with my grandma. God bless her. She never crocheted dragons though!

It’s just single crochet, increase, and decrease stitches. It takes time and following the pattern exactly, but any intermediate crocheter could do it. I was a beginner when I did my first dragon and it was hard for me because I didn’t know how to read a pattern before that day, but I worked through it and loved it!

That’s very clever! I talk with a girlfriend about picking up crocheting again. But the soap project and others have me busy. You’ve inspired me!

 

[LizzardBlizzard]

LizzardBlizzard because I go by Lizzie usually, and I have friends that call me Lizard Blizzard when the winter weather is bad to be funny my avatar is a painting my grandmother made in 1964. I'm an acrylic/ink/watercolor artist also so I love to rotate my avatars through art I've painted or acquired.

Hi neighbor

 

[BodyWasher]

Obsessed with body wash.

Not loving my office job so I’m selling all natural soap instead.
I’ve also trained combat sports for years.

That said, I do draw the line at using liposuction fat for soap making.

[villa_incognito]

It's the title of a great novel by Tom Robbins and I think it represents the absurdity of my own location and situation well.

 

[CLMP]

My username is the initials in my name and my avatar is a pic of one of my first batches of soap.

 

[Poots Mahoney]

My partner sometimes calls me Babes Mahoney as part of silly nicknames we give each other, and one day I was thinking of a new online nickname that maybe didn't have to do with penguins (as most previous online names do), and Poots Mahoney came out. I usually use crow- or covid-based imagery for Poots, but my google icon uploaded automatically, and since it was a potoo, it felt appropriate lol

 

[bookworm42]

Came up with this username in highschool when I was a big reader and I now use it as my default. Still love to read but don't have enough time now.

Because, soaping… right?

About the only reading I do now is soaping related. I'm either reading up on an ingredient or a technique. At some point I'll gain more time to read other things but for now I'm happy soaping.
