I love home made items. MY crafting shows all around my home.
I am knitting baby cardigans at the moment. On my third. knitted a white, a yellow and now knitting a blue with white trim.

There's a whole craft-related board already on MSE as a part of the Special occasions & other Celebrations forum. It even has an indexed list of links to all sorts of projects and ideas.

Thanks for the link. I think crafting should come under OS moneysaving as it's not just for special occasions. Things like making your own cushions is money saving!
