A Break from the Norm

I’m going to take a slight deviation from the normal focus on words and books and writing here today. Because as many of you who follow me on instagram may have figured out, I have a love for crafty things.

No, really, its kind of a problem.

I have also been on a quest for the last five years or so to get healthier, especially when it comes to what I eat and making more things for myself. Its led to some interesting discoveries – but that’s a long and involved post for another time (and probably place). One of those journeys into making things for myself led me into making soap and body products. I LOVE it. I mean, its just fun, AND its like playing MAD scientist while still being artsy. And you have to use it, because its soap. What’s not to love here?

​

So i’m totally hijacking my own blog to post about my small hobby/business – Lyebrarian Soaps! If you’re interested, stop by my etsy store or website and see what you think. There will be lots of things coming up on the website soon – right now I’m focusing on making lots of things to restock after pretty much selling or giving what I had for Christmas. 

I really love making soap. It kind of makes me feel like a mad scientist and an artist all at the same time. Which means that I cackle while I mix lye. Ask my husband. He’s smart enough to stay away and play video games while I’m messing with soap. 🙂 And when I’m making cards. I love sending and recieving snail mail, so I also make a lot of cards. I’d always hand drawn them before – but I got a Cricut machine for Christmas, and now I can scan in my images and recreate them in half the time. 

The US post office will be getting a lot of my money in stamps, I think. I mean, who doesn’t love snail mail, really?

Do you have any hobbies you love? I’d love to hear about it!
