    I don't know about you but in this cold weather, my hands have been so dry this past few weeks. I have listed a recipe for a quilters handcream on my blog.

    That sounds like a good recipe. I have discovered Bag Balm, its very good stuff.

    I'll have to try this. Hubby's hands get so dry that they crack and bleed even though he uses a good moisturizer a couple times a day....Thanks! :D

    For really problem cracks on hands and feet, have you ever tried "Allpresan 3" foot cream? (it's a foam). It's a professional product that you would buy at a spa. I use it every other night on my feet when I go to bed and it helps keep the caluses and cracks away. It might be worth getting a small container to try. It's amazing stuff.

    This winter even my palms are dry and cracked - I have the ugliest hands! Think I will try this.

    Ooooo I will try this, only I am going to substitute the vaseline for bagbaum...it has more healing properties in it and is still a petroleum based product :D:D:D

    WOW that's cool, how about fingers?? I saw on TV not long ago, someone "painting" something on their cuticles, and it was for crafts and sore fingers, I get cuts and I keep putting neosporin and whatever else I can find, and they really hurt, it was after I had done a lot of those fleece tie blankets for Christmas gifts? Well my hands are so bad and hurting, anyone know what that stuff is that you paint on your fingers? Looked like clear stuff. HELP please.
