Do you give handmade crafts as gifts?

Debscrochet @Debscrochet (1947) • United States 9 Aug 10

I do. I have made / given my crochet as gifts for a number of occasions. I personally think a handmade item, such as a afghan means more and will last longer than a store bought item. I crochet all year and it's great when I need...

phacat Yes I give handmade items as gifts. I knit and crochet. New moms love the handmade hats that are knitted or crocheted. It's like giving a bite of yourself. With holidays coming up ( I get started as early as August in my handmade crafts) I like to look for new...

phacat I like all kinds of ice cream. If I had to pick a favorite it would be cherry vanilla. The cherries remind me of a special treat I had when I was a child. It's a mind thing. I guess you could call it my comfort food. It is very soothing to sit down with just a...

phacat I love cookies. If I have a choice of cookies or bread I too would choose cookies. I try not to buy too many cookies. If they are in my presence, I tend to eat more than I should. Sometimes I buy potato bread. It tends to be a little sweat. It's like fooling...

It's become too expensive to make our own clothes, do you agree?

oldchem1 @oldchem1 (8132) 13 Jul 10

When my three eldest daughters were little in the 1970's I made the majority of their clothes - by sewing, crocheting and knitting, it was so much cheaper than buying the clothes at the shop and I could make more original clothes...

phacat As a caregiver myself sometimes I have the same dilemma. I spoke with someone about it and got some good advice. We all need a break every once in a while. If it happens to be an unscheduled one, as long as it isn't harming the health of the one cared for, we...

Porcospino @Porcospino (31366) • Denmark 12 Jul 10

In my country we a have a celebration called "Fastelavn". On that day the children dress up and walk from door to door while they sing a special song. In return they receive money and sometimes candy. On the day of Fastelavn...
