A shout out.

Before I got into my own rambling on my own life and crafts I have to make sure the little section of the world who frequents craft blogs knows about this soap.
The absinthe soap from LavaMeSoapCo on Etsy.
I got a bar of this soap as a gift from a friend a month or so ago and have been in love with it ever since. Admittedly at first the black licorice type smell put me off and my SO was so disturbed that I'd threaten to use it on him as punishment for bad behavior.
Once I got used to the idea however I came to think of the strong smell as being quite luxurious and of course rather authentic. Naturally, actually using the soap helped a lot! It has a rich lather and slightly astringent quality that makes you feel really clean. My SO even started using it on his face because he liked the lather so much. (I won't let him use it on his whole body or there wouldn't be any left for me)
So keep up the good work Lavame!

First post

Yes I know how original.
I have finally bowed to the conventional wisdom and my own love of pontificating endlessly about things that probably don't matter and have created..
Dum da da DUM!
My own craft blog.
I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it or what it will become which works for me. I'll probably tell you what I'm working on, ideas for products and techniques and perhaps promote a few fellow sellers because one they deserve it and two I can't possibly be that interesting!
So hello great and mighty blogosphere. You probably don't see me down here but I'm glad to be here none the less.
