Sara Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 So what else do people do out there? I knit, cook (for fun), pretend to scrapbook (buy supplies but rarely use them)... I like to do lots of random things with glue, paints and old items I find that inspire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I make hand pieced quilts but am waiting for winter weather to start another one .. maybe it won't happen around here this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystala25 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Sara, I started scrapbooking years ago, I bought and bought supplies and now have no where to put them and I even took classes and went to those home parties. The funny thing is I only have about 3 pages complete out of my piles of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoOleKrows Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 My mom and I make wreaths, swags, grave blankets& pillows, flower arrangements, polymer clay stuff, wood crafts, antique window crafts, recycled jean purses, trash to treasure is our favorite.... We have made other things in the past but mastered it and got bored. I am sure I am leaving something out but oh well. We want to get into mosaic art, sculpture (one day), making our own tin tart warmers, jewelry... but these are definately down the road, too much going on not enough money and time. I love crafting! I look forward to reading everyone elses posts.Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soycrazy Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I've been beading for a long time, I make beads from wire too. I just bought a kit to make lampwork beads with the torch and whole bit, so I hope to get into that more. Also like to sew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I'm like Robin......I don't have time anymore but someday I'll get back to knitting, crocheting and cross stitch. I still have a throw 3/4 done that's cross stitched on window pane linen.........someday it will get finished!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I stamp cards and also do embroidery. I don't do as much needlework as I used to but still love it. Since most everyone gets candles for gifts, I thought I'd mix things up this year and start embroidering pillow cases and dresser scarves for gifts!

Juliette Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I make beaded serving utensils, mostly as wedding and housewarming gifts. I knit about one scarf every 3-5 years - and I do have a small trunk with scrapbooking supplies and about half an album done...someday.

gloworm Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I sew, knit, crochet, play around with polymer doll sculpting. We need a club for buying scrapbooking supplies and storing them-I belong to that too. Tried most everything once. Has anyone ever gathered those large tree fungi and dried them then painted landscapes on them? My cousin is a fabulous artist and she used to do that and she tutored me through one of those. I'm not bad at painting if I have her to tell me which brush to use. LOL. Used to macrame years ago too. All I can think of now. Working on a cable knit cardigan for my grandbaby expected in April right now.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaP Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I buy rough gemstones or the wife and I go to the mountains rock hounding and find our own. I then cut (facet) the rough stones into ring, necklass, and ear ring settings. We buy the findings and I set the stones into themWe are working on a way to conbined the gemstone cutting with the gel candles we make...Maybe a gem gel candle with imbeds of precious or semi precious stones.

GrayMaire Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Great new section! I do lots of stuff - gotta have variety or I get bored. Besides B&B and now candles, I do knitting, crochet, embroidery (especially crazy quilting), sewing, tole painting, drawing, stained glass, passionate gardening. Oh yeah, can't forget the ongoing home decorating! Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I love to knit. I also make jewelry and sew baby blankets, burpies for a local baby line where I live. I make clothes every now and then when I feel inspired. I love the glue gun and when I see anything out in the stores that I think I can duplicate, I go home and try it.But the candle making thing is definately my newest and favorite new obsession. I plan on dabbling in some soap making real soon!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
