What are your favorite crafts? i enjoy crocheting and sewing. I like to crochet blankets & scarves. I also like to sew pillows & blankets. I didnt get to work on my crafts as much as i'd have liked to in '10. I was busy working and goin to school. This year i plan to work on those things more. I also like to do cross stitching.

I like beading, cross stitch and needlepoint. I have crocheted and that's fine, except it seems to bother my hand more - I have to watch how much I craft because my right hand is starting to go out.

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your right hand! I hate that for you so much! I know that is discouraging when somethings happens that enables you to do the things you love. I like all 3 of those, too! Cross stitching, beading and needlepoint. They are really fun!

well, I've been stitching since college, and then I did data entry for the last 15 years of my employment for the state - I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I've started having problems with my hand

Give me almost any craft and I love them.....but right now I am really into rubber stamping/card making. Plus I have been doing alot of scrapbooking. In the winter when I relax I like to take up some crocheting..

I enjoy crocheting, scrap-booking, photography, and whatever else I can find to make that looks cute! I also enjoy crafting with the kids.

I actually also like crocheting and sewing the most. But I have not done so many crochet projects yet, just a few.

That is cool that you enjoy crocheting and sewing as well! I had taken home economics in high school and at that time wasn't real interested in doing that kind of thing. But about 5 years ago i just kind of got interested in it & started working on it quite a bit- except for last year because i was so busy with school & work.

I love to Crochet, Cook new things, and Work out. Right now I am crocheting a baby blanket for our baby room. No we are not pregnant yet, but we are getting things in order around the house. We are also learning how to be foster parents/Adoptive parents. Blankets, hats, and Socks are my favorite. I also Love to Hand Quilt! It is very Time consuming but SO worth the effort when its done!

Knitting is my favorite craft, but I also enjoy hand embroidery and making things like potholders and aprons - simple things. I'm not much of a seamstress, but to me it's fun to make practical things. I never have enough time to do all the crafts I want to! :)

I like sewing and knitting. I haven't been doing much of either lately, but I'm itching to get back to them.

I do love crocheting too, but nothing too complicated. I also enjoy cross-stitching and have finished quite a number of pieces. It gives me a sense of satisfaction as I see the picture forming. It is rather time consuming and now that I'm married with two kids, I hardly have the time and motivation to sit down and start on a new project.

I enjoy all kinds of crafts, like sewing, crocheting, and latch hook. I also like making other little things with items around the house. I have never learned to cross stitch, but I believe it can not b that different than sewing. This year I will be doing a lot more of all the above.

I enjoy crochet and knitting also. I have made several scarves for family members and they turned out pretty nice. Right now I'm painting on ceramic pendants, flowers, birds, sayings, etc. My nursing work and Avon business is keeping me quite busy, so I haven't kept up with my crafting for awhile now. I used to sell on Etsy, but haven't done so in several months.

I like to make crafts for my 5-years-old daughter, esspecialy things for decorating her room: castle, mushrooms, blossom trees, candy cane tree, train, flowers. But I like to make quilling cards; they are so delicate ! and beautiful and sometimes I can't belive I made it myself. And I'm always looking for new and interesting idea. I like crocheting and knitting too.
