I think everyone has the potential to be good at crafty things, you just have to find something that you are good at:rotfl: It makes you feel great when you finish something for the first time - even if it is a little bit messy then when you start selling you get such a boost! I make traditional jointed mohair teddy bears, I love it:D
I made a crochet messy lump once! I think I need a refresher lesson though (OH's mum was teaching me when I went visiting there one weekend
) and I wanted to make little monster a (really basic) blanket or something. Also sock monkeys caught my attention but my mum has my sewing machine and my hand stitching is appalling
Mum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession

My meeting is lasting ages but I don't mind as am in the comfort of my own home and we'll get the project pretty much finished today

I have to nip out about 4pm to pick up some freebie wraps from a netmum, it's about a 15 min drive but should be worth it!Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -

Hubby bought me a sewing maching for christmas... I sewed the parts for a sock monkey and that's it... I keep thinking of all the great things I could make, even bought myself the cath kitson book... Just don't have the time or inclination to get it out though...A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...My Fathers Daughter wrote: »Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

Still not really sure if we are going down the reuseable or disposable route, but this doesn't seem too bad, but its only size 1s?!0 -
