I have attempted probably most crafts - most often I make cards/scrapbook, do patchworking and quilting, embroider, sew clothes, and my current main passion is felting - both wet felting and needle felting. am currenty needle felting a whole load of fruit and veg for my daughter's birthday present, grandparents are buying a market stall and scales. I am also putting together a craft stall for our coffee morning/craft fair fundraiser in March to raise money towards the special needs double buggy the kids need which will be felted jewellery and other small objects and fabric bags. I am making felted soaps this evening in between reading and posting.0

I love crafting and people say I am quite the arty type.
I am just finishing my second ladies cardigan. The first was in lilac and the second is bluebell. Both were for ME! as my key wardrobe colours are purple, blue and gray. I do ware other colours but have less items.
When people see you crafting it is "can you make one for me?"
The bluebell cardigan, I just have the button band to do. I am giving to my MIL. She does not know it yet.(but has asked) I like to see the project finished before I commit to giving. In case it goes wrong or comes up small.
Yesterday, I decorated my new timer. It is asda smart price one. All white. I put some stickers of pink flowers all round the edges to make it girlie. Personal and mine.
I am planning to make my own cards this year. I have the stuff and have moved it to a more accessible home. Easter and birthdays....
It will show I have made the effort, instead of buying one.
I am also in the middle of decluttering photo's.
I have a big picture frame I put photo's of all the extended family in. I want to swap some around. No point in just having them in albums. I want to see the photo's on display.The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)0 -

This is the sort of thing I love. I adore owls and I am going to buy plain white things for my bathroom such as mug, soap dispenser etc. and paint owls on etc. I have decided to do this since I cannot find anything I like in the shops!
There are so many things you can personalise, I love it!Since 1st January 2013:-
£430 from the sale of old jewellery
£50 from sale of old mobile phone
I will do that much over due carboot sale!
Back on mega weight loss regime. Lost 9 stone in two years all by myself. Now I am BACK ON IT!!!0 -

I love crafting but always seem to start three projects at once!
I've just finished my fifth horsehair bracelet and I'm very pleased with how it's turned out.
I've got hundreds of rosettes I'd like to make something with. I've seen cushion covers made of rosettes but I can't sew to save my life!0 -
I knit, crochet & sew, I make 3 or 4 baby blankets a week. Currently I'm knitting a scarf in Aruba yarn by Sirdar, it's beautiful yarn.

I don't exactly craft butI paint watercolours and hand-painted birthday cards.
I bore all my FB friends with pictures of them:D and the unfortunate ones get a card on their birthdays;)
I've sold a few paintings which is a nice bit of pocket money and helps to fund my painting equipment.Do what you love :happyhear0 -
I always seem to have something "crafty" on the go, knitting, crochet, sewing, but my most recent is models made from modelling foam, really enjoying designing and making the different characters.
