probably beadwork or quilting.they take the most of my time right now.
i have never tried candlemaking,but my grandmother used to make ice candles.
they came out really pretty.

all you do is take one of those paper milk cartons,cut the top off,stick a long taper candle down the middle and surround it with ice.you pour the wax in and when it sets the gaps made by the melted ice make a lace type look.

My major crafts are sewing and bath products...I love to make lotions, lip balms, bath salts etc and Candles is another one I love to do as well....Out of those though I'd say that these days sewing is my biggest love at the moment...I also draw, write and paint but not so much lately

I often make jewelry for my handmade online shop. I really like creating polymer clay pieces. I find it more creative than making jewlery and certainly more theraputic (after working at my JOB)
I also enjoy making candles with my sons, but we usually don't make candles until the fall (or unless we have a few stormy days in a row in the summer and we need something different for them to do )

I like to do latchhooking also but my problem is that I have nothing to do with them when they are done!! I enjoy doing scrapbooks also, I am doing one right now for my mom for Christmas, sort of a collage throughout her life. I do so many crafts that my problem is I get a bunch going at once and don't finish any in time!! :-) I am also working on a woodburning for my fiancees mother for Christmas and I have about ten million crosstitches that are started but not done. I love doing those but they take forever to do.

I have seen some very pretty latch hooks that have been framed and then hung as pictures. They can make great pieces that way. I have no idea how it all works out since I have never done a latch hook...but it is one idea.
I too do way to many things! I love all sorts of crafts...

I love to do crochet and plastic canvas. I have the most supplies on hand for those 2 crafts and I have been doing them the longest. I also enjoy painting and beading.

I love doing crafts. I lost most of my supplies in our last move, so right now I only do jewelry making. However, I make at least one piece every day and will be attending a craft fair in October. I am rather excited about it. I also love making soap, home and bath and body products, and candles. However, I haven't done any of that recently. I have a blog about both crafts though. When we had a shop I would also turn things on the lathe (light pulls, ornaments, and other great small projects). I was working on carving spoons as well (the decorative type). I love crafts!

I love to crochet. Its my second most favorite hobby and i often come up with my own pattern for things. In fact i just finished a blanket for a twin sized bed that was pink and purple stripped in a shell pattern.

Bracelets made of beads that I buy. Now I am currently interested with polymer clays and I want to try it. want free candle wax? go to churches and look for the priest, ask him if you could have the melted wax. then sort the colors if you can. then melt it again, you will see some unwanted particles or dirt with it, usually black, then half of the container with a cloth hold it. ask someone to get another clean container where you can use to melt wax then pour the wax there. you can take away the dirt with this. then melt it again and do it again -melt, cover and pour- do this until the wax is clean. that is what my father does when he make candles. he just purchase candle wicks and recyle the wax. less expenses plus you do recycling and helping the environment.
