Today is the Festival of Colors - basically the beginning of Spring in the Hindu religion. One of these days, I want to go to India and be part of this celebration. From Wikipedia - "It is the festive day to end and rid oneself of past errors, to end conflicts by meeting others, a day to...

For my wallet. Not only do I find all kinds of soaping stuff I want - it keeps making me want to expand into other hobbies. I decided to try polymer clay to make soap dishes, but there are so many other cool things I have seen on YT. I started learning to crochet to make wash cloths. Now I...

I finally remembered to snap some pics of this. Here ya go. The containers from the lye guy fit perfect. If you do the buy 5 get one free from him, one has to sit on top of the desiccant container, but the gamma lis will still close with no issues.

Here it is. Used NG Green Tweed, which has never been a problem fo for me. This time it moved like a cheetah, and I almost did not get it into the mold. Sigh

So I recently became the carefiver for a new pet. Its name is Skeeter, and is a crested gecko. I'm not sure if it is male or female, it is only 6 months old or so. It might be a couple more before it is big enough to tell. My plan is to make a planted vivarium to house it as soon as it...

First, curse you all for enabling my desire to pick up hobbies and crafts. I am plotting a trip to Michael's now. Next, I found this video and though it looked really neat... so I though I would share. http://youtu.be/YRnJHytHN_w

So I just posted my entry for the Soap Challenge Club. I won the entry, and the soap was a fun one, so there is not much skin in the game for me this time. But this is the first time I am using my new intro animation. Even from a template this thing gave me fits trying to figure it out, so...
