craftyone27 11-02-2010 08:16 PM

I had to come up with a screenname for my POGO account a few years ago. I have dabbled in just about every craft that came down the pike for the last 30 years ( I blame my grandmother for teaching me to crochet and crossstitch at age 6 - jk). Apparently there was already another craftyone on POGO so I added my birthday on the end.

scowlkat 11-02-2010 08:25 PM

Mine came from a nickname my husband gave our cat several years ago-she has a look of a perpetual scowl on her face so hence my name - scowlkat! Our male cat became skabootykat so my dh uses that as his name on forums. I find it interesting when I sign up on different sites and am told to pick a different name because that one is already taken!

Up North 11-02-2010 09:03 PM

In Michigan every one says they are coming up north, My grandkids and DS live in Ohio and come Up North to visit, I couldn't think of anything fancy so came up with just "Up North".

Qbee 11-03-2010 12:45 AM

Mine, which I thought was so easy it would already be taken, is often misunderstood in the chat room. Qbee is for "Quilting Bee" but many think it is for "Queen Bee". I chose the name because of my grandmother. Long story short, I had been looking for a hobby for a very long time and taken many classes (chinese painting, mosaic glass art, meditation, cake decorating, etc.)and then this past July I took my first quilting class. It is hard to explain but within the first 30 minutes of listening to the humming of the machines, I knew I had found my passion. I was immediately taken back to my qrandmother's quilting bees at her church. The ladies would chat and do the most beautiful quilting. My job was to keep threading needles :D Wonderful memories!

Riversong 11-03-2010 05:48 AM

I live very close to several rivers in Missouri,where I used to fish a lot,so of course I love rivers. The song part is because I play several musical instruments(or used to) and I love music.

Jugtavernquilter 11-03-2010 05:59 AM

I don't think anyone using their name is boring. My name is boring is why I didn't use mine. It's Kim and my last name is Burt.
For my name I used the name of my quilting group. I couldn't think of anything else. I don't work well under pressure. LOL

It's just my real name. Got nothing to hide. Hey I love your avatar pic. Did you make that rooster? I have a pretty good collection of rooster/chicken patterns. Is it a Fatcat Design?

amazon 11-03-2010 06:16 AM

My board name is from a nickname that I acquired in the 5th grade . I towered over all but one of the boys and we were studying Greek mythology one semester and someone said, "Hey, Mrs Caine, Daphne looks just like one of the Amazon Warriors in the pic", and the rest is history.Well, it was shortened to just Amazon. Better than the other one though, my mom sewed most of our clothes and crop pants were the " in thing" mine were green .. I wore my new outfit to school the next day.. one of my guy friends said You waitin on a flood.. we swapped insults back and forth awhile then he says Oh, you know I'm just kidding Jolly Green Giant. I'm 6 ft. and comfortable with my height, which sure comes in handy when you need something off the top shelf :-D

You go girl. I was also like you towering over all my friends. My BFF was very short & my mom called us "Mutt & Jeff" after an old comic strip. HAve been tallest one all my life. Wore a size 10 shoe in the 6 th grade. My DGD is in the 2nd grade, youngest one in the class & a head taller than any of them. She is going to be a tall girl too. She already wears a size 5 in womens shoes. Comes in handy at the store when all those little short people can't reach the top shelf at wally world.

As a short person I thank you for helping reach the top shelf. It is so frustrating to have to climb.

Zephyr 11-03-2010 07:12 AM

Whenever I have had to choose a name or password...it is always taken. So I chose Zephyr because we lived in Zephyrhills, Fl. for 25 years and loved it there. That name has only been taken once. A zephyr is a gentle breeze, so that's ok with me.

Roberta 11-03-2010 07:13 AM

Actually my parents came up with my Board name 68 years ago ;-)

wanderingcreek 11-03-2010 07:21 AM

Mine is the name of the farm I used to have. We had 160 acres with a little creek that just kind of wandered through the property so we called our place Wandering Creek Ranch and had bison, horses, a few pigs, always a cow for the freezer and of course chickens, ducks and geese. I miss it terribly and I guess it is just a way of keeping a little piece of it with me.

twospoiledhuskies 11-03-2010 07:27 AM

Mine is in honor of my two very precious "kids" - Teddy and Sky :D

It is a take on "fun couple" that we are told all the time by our friends, so it just stuck.
