Wow,in our worlds,there are too many crafts to learn all of them.
But when i saw all kinds of crafts,my heart felt excited.
For instance ,carve,once i saw a watermelon was carved like a dog,very lovely,vivid and cute.It seems unbelievable,but that is true.What's more,you can use a egg to carve whatever you like,what a wonderful craft.
However,it's a delicate work,so you know,it's hard to learn.
Hence i like making flowers,use papers,silk net,knitting wool etc.My favrioute flower is lily.
What about you?

I like crochet, knit, making pom pom doll and also make something from ice cream sticks. I dont really have talent making craft arts but I like handmade craft. I like making crochet bag, flower brooches, baby's hat and shoes sometimes when my family and long distance relative comes to visit me, I give them my handmade items and if my friend's give birth I send her baby's hat and shoes. If I have enough yarn supplies I'd like to make sweater and table cloth, it is nice when we can make by our own.
Yes learning craft isnt easy but I wont stop practicing, I learn craft through sharing information with other craft maker.

we have knitting and crochet group in my city and held meeting once in a month, but due to my condition I couldnt attend the meeting. But I can browse and get video tutorial from internet. Is youtube available in your country? You can find video tutorial how to knit, crochet, or other craft tutorial. I think carve is nice craft but it looks hard for me and needs patience.
Your friends must be happy to receive flower from you.
I want to learn amigurumi (art of crochet stuffing doll), and then tatting, and then origami, many things I want to learn but I havent have the time. But everything is available on internet, we can find many tutorials for free. Good luck

Ye,as long as we want to do it,there is always methods to achieve it.
Unfortunately,i can't log on youtube in my country,as well as facebook,twitter.
When i want to know some foreign news ,stories,i have to use a special software.It's very inconvenient.
Generally,i search some easy vedio to learn,cos i haven't much time too.
But when it's possible to do some crafts,my heart will be very excited,no matter when it is.
Haha,best wishes.

Wow,a handcraft present by yourself is very meaningful.
I always made many flowers ,and gave them to my friends ,they all like them,that made me very happy.
Your crafts are practical,i want to learn them as well,but it seems nobody knows it around me.
The only way for my to learn it is by computer.
It's harder .But i like ,haha

I know just what you mean. There are so many interesting things to try and you can spend hours and hours making stuff. This past week I have been watching you tube videos for different crochet stitch patterns. I made a scarf using V stitch.

I do Origami. I love working with paper. It's more resilient than you might think. I also do money Origami and have made flowers with paper money. I make Origami modulars or unit Origami. Also Christmas ornaments and package decorations. I used to know someone that I got together with once in a while to do Origami. But now I don't know anyone that does it. There isn't much interest in it where I live. It's too bad because it's a beautiful art. Everyone thinks it's too hard to do, but it's really not, once you figure out the directions!

Ye,it's beautiful art,i will be good student i believe,lol,however ,there is no teacher for me.
Though we can search it on internet,i can't understand the process clearly sometimes.
I know paper is very resilient,i saw some vivid animals and peoples are made by papers,it seemed beyond my imagination ,haha/

I like lots of crafts, but have not done any in a lot of months now, as I have not felt in the mood and I have been poorly.
I like to make cards, knitting, paper pricking, as well as glass engraving.There are lots of crafts that we can do, some crafts are cheap to do, where as others can be rather expensive.

Hi Xiaopinggai,
I love handicrafts most especially crochet. My mom taught me how to crochet since I was a kid. Now, crochet becomes a productive hobby for me. I make clothes, wear it and when my friends see me they will order and now is a business for me. I am also into jewelry-making.
I too enjoy and love oregami.

Well,i wanted to learn it when i was a child too,however my mum didn't teach me,and blamed me on it.Because she thought if i did it ,it meant i didn't study hard,what's worse it wasted time.
I don't know how to crochet until now,but i love it all the time.

I love to knit,crochet,sew,bead and try to design some patterns for each of the crafts.Knitting is my favorite thing to do.It is so relaxing.And my granddaughters get most everything I make.It is usually their ideas that I use for things to make for them.And the oldest one loves to draw she is 11,so she will usually draw something for me to make.I then have to create the pattern.lol

Well,best wishes to you and enjoy your time.

I love crafts! And I make them too, although the materials I use are paper. So I made all kinds of papercraft. My avatar is violin from paper too =D
I know about egg carving. It seems so beautiful, delicate and fragile to see the egg being carved so beautifully!
Your favorite flower is lily? My favorite flower is rose =D

As for rose,i love too,but not a red one,but a blue.
Have a nice day.
