What is your craft?

I love crochet also, kabes. I've been making a lot of scarves and hats. I'm going to start making things that are good for year-round use now because by the time the next craft fair gets here it will be spring. Hair scrunchies, jewelry, little purses or amulet bags, clutches, tote bags, coasters, dish cloths and bookmarks are some of the things I'm thinking about. Have you heard of tapestry crochet? I'd like to learn to do that. I like the clutch you made. Cheers, my new mylot friend :) Joyce

I taught myself needlepoint in college from a magazine. Then in the mid-80's, I got a little kit & learned cross stitch. Just after the turn of the centery I learned to do beading and just LOVE it. I know only one crochet stitch (well, beside the chain stitch), but I've made a number of afgans & scarfs using it a few years back. I found that crocheting made my wrist ache, and since I was doing data entry at the time, I decided to protect my lively-hood & stop crocheting.

I have dabbled into most crafts, teddy bear making, jewellery making, card, making, felt toys, photography and I did have a try at crochet but I just was not good at it, then the computer came along and all craft went out the window...I haven't actually seen anyone crocheting for years...

I do knit and create polymer clay items, like pendants and decorative ornaments. But I would say my main craft is creating what I like to call "wearable art" jewelry. I use mainly glass beads and include a few items with beach glass (aka sea glass) and gemstones. My favorite pieces are the beach glass creations, but it's getting tougher to find enough beach glass in jewelry quality condition (especially in NJ) and I have to purchase a lot of my glass from collectors on the West Coast or around the Great Lakes (I only use the most reputable of sellers- most of which are associated with the North American Sea Glass Association) Great post!!!

I like to make things from waste materials like- penholder from small cartons, basket from old bangles, paintings from pista nut shells, flowers from plastic kit,etc. I also like painting- glass painting, fabric painting, water colour, painting on bottles, tumblers, etc. I also make jewelleries with beads, decorates purses with beads and sequences and does bead work on dress materials.

My craft is cross stitch, I was taught to do it by my nan when I was about 7 years old, but I didnt do much of it until the last few years. I love the way the picture builds up from nothing, almost like a jigsaw and you can see it growing under your fingers. I love to do all kinds of pictures, wild animals and mystical are my favourite. I also love to knit but unfortunately I am not very good at it at all, I knitted my mum a jumper once and she kindly thanked me for making her a jumper to take the dog out in. Yes it was that bad! I can knit teddies though so thats something!

i've tried crochet but no luck. my kind of crafting is the cross stitch. i've done big ones and those cartoons and letters hehehe. it's fun. i've learned doing it few years ago. what i want to do is the crochet because i 've seen some good stuff that my aunt have done and it really looks good.

I make bowls and christmas ornaments from paper mache. I'm currently trying to teach myself how to knit from the videos on knittinghelp.com

I'm into all sorts of different things. Right now, I'm making all the stuff for my wedding. I'm making the reception centerpieces-vases with rhinestones, tulle, silk blue carnations and beta fish. The favours- little soaps shaped like sushi in a little take-out box decorated with tulle and ribbon. The gift bags for out of town guests-paper bags done up in stamps and ribbon with a thank you card and a welcome tag. The place cards-stamped. My wedding cake topper- two Little Mermaid action figures affixed to a small stand and decorated with tulle and glitter. And probably more that I'm not remembering right now.

I wish I was able to be crafty. I think that it just is not in me. I prefer my hobby of choice to be cooking. I definitely enjoy hearing about other people and what they do. But, I have never been able to do much. I could not sew to save my life :)

i love crochet.I made bags, wallets, doilies.I made money out of it

well I'm not too much of a crafter but I like doing different things with my oldest girl. She is 7. I do some sewing but not much. My only real hobby is reading. My oldest likes to paint. I ould like to ge us both into crossstixing.

I do paperarts including rubber stamping - especially scrapbooking and card making. Also beading are my main crafts. I have a sewing machine that has been sitting with quilts to be done - I don't know when I'll get around to that. I also do a lot of kids crafts because of my own kids and scouting. I am also getting back into oil painting this year.

I wish I could crochet. It's the one craft I just can not pick up. My mom tried to show me about a million times and no dice..the same with knitting. However, I have recently gotten into knifty knitting big time. Thank goodness for those looms LOL. I know to real knitters thats probably cheating LOL. I have the round and just got the long looms as a christmas present. I have only learned to make hats and scarves, but I hope to expand that. I also sew a great deal.

I love to crochet. I make purses, afghans,skirts and hats. I am hoping to make more projects so I can sell some of my work.

There are various crafts that I would love to do but for a limited income and limited time. I could only do some cross stitching ( i am making a large angel which i had been making for over 6 years now because of no time and no money ). I also started on designing jewerlies - here in Asia there is an available and cheaper precious stones and a wire that has 10k of gold on it. It's the trend here right now. I would also love to collect crystals that attract energy but it is quite expensive. As you can see money matters when you do some crafts but if you are creative and resourceful you can make something out of your own limited means.

my craft and current craze is scrapbooking. i picked it up about a year and a half ago, and have derived so much fun from it. the best part is making things for people like mini albums and getting appreciative responses from them. a friend even framed my accordian card up! was so pleased. and also making cards that are personalised just makes the whole experience more meaningful...

i love creating pages of scrapbooking memories. i love taking photos and arranging them with matching patterened paper and embellishments and lots of journalling to capture that moment and that memory for ever. sometimes i also dabble in jewellery making but that is a passion that has not been allowed to develop because of a lack of time. Your crocheted purse is gorgeous by the way!

I really love to crochet and to sew.

Right now I'm doing alot of crochet. But I also do quilting, cross stitching, cake decorating, painting and trash to treasure stuff. I like trying new things so I've always got some project going.
