        Do anyone do any crafting? Scrapbooking, Painting, Sewing etc…  I am a craft junkie lol. I paint on canvas and make kids room decorations, scrapbook and my new love is sewing felt play food. Does anyone else have this addiction?

          Yep! Although I haven’t done much lately I’ve been known to do: sewing, knitting, crocheting, fabric painting, wood stuff, pumpkin carving etc.

            I love to do crafts! i like to sew but i just started so i am not very good at it… i like to paint and draw and just about anything that sounds fun! i have just gotten into felting. ( if you don’t know what felting is, its when you take a special kind of wool and poke it and poke it and poke it and it like molds together.) its fun to do in the car on long trips. me and my mom like to scarp book. ( you should see all the scrapbooking stuff we have, it could last us years.) and best of all…… making up new toys for my buns!

              I make felt play food mocha. lol It’s so cute. I have made a ton of it so far! I don’t use wool felt though. I also have a big scrapbooking stash. I have a lot scrap cubes full of it. I do a lot of kids rooms paintings. I would love to do a wall mural some day! I make wooden decorations, I sew decorative pillows and make blankets. I would love to get into quilting. I am going to take some classes on that some day! I also like to build things.

                  Yeap I draw, do something like friendship bracelets (just simple patterns) and lately I’m on making earings with hoops and colorful ribbons! I like doing collages that I hang in my room. I also tried making a scarf but I suck at it..

                    I like scrap booking and making jewelry. My mom and I are really into making the sparklies. Although it works out well, she enjoys mostly working with stone and I like working with crystal. I made these for my mom for mother’s day. Full inspected by Indy first of course.

                      Hi Nibbles!

                      I try to do a few things and I’ve been a commercial artist for almost 40 years now. I work for a company that creates textbooks so I might be illustrating algebra, mechanical things, lasers and photonics, or biology stuff on any given day. While I’ve been blessed to have a job I love, it means I don’t really enjoy drawing or painting at home for pleasure much ;-(.

                      I would love to knit, most teachers give up on me being left-handed. A group of us at work do bracelets that they sell to donate the money to The Walk for the Cure Cancer thing, but I do the basic string and hand it over to the ladies that do the beautiful flowers and all…lol (remedial beading)

                      I letterbox a bit and have tried my hand at carving some stamps.

                      What is needle felting?

                            I don’t wet felt and I don’t use wool either. I use eco fi felt that is made of post consumer recycled bottles. I just buy it at the craft store and I make patterns and sew it together to make play food for my little girls. I am making a bunch of it now for our church auction we have coming up in August. I will take a pic of it and post it tomorrow.

                              I love to scrapbook. I’ll have to take a picture of my scrap space lol. I just put it together and I am kinda proud of it. It does get messy when I actually have time to scrap.lol Right now I would say that I am a collector of scrapbook supplies! I hope to someday collect a Cricut Expression and many cartridges! My almost 5 year old little girl has been scrapbooking with me since she was just 2. She is really good and she also has her own scrap space in her room. She has recently decided to boot Bella out of her room to free up more space for her tea parties and her scrapbooking. lol

                                    Bella will go in my kitchen lol. I know, it sounds wierd but I have a nice place I can put her where she will be cooler, not be able to tear anything up and be played with more. She was free roam in my daughters room and did great for quite a while, then she started maturing and trying to tear things up so I moved her to a pen all of the time. Good thing, she is mature already and needs to be spayed but she is too little right now for surgery. She is started to lose litter box habits now. Anyway, I think that if you edit the pic you have and blur your face you will be okay.

                                      I’m jealous of all of you! I’m the least crafty person on the planet. I always try to get started in something (knitting was my newest) but I never follow through.

                                      My sister-in-law is an amazing artist though. She can draw and paint like nothing else – she also knitted us a beautiful afghan for our wedding. I hope to have her paint something for our house one day.

                                            I dunno, Mocha. I think I’m just not very creative.

                                            Somebody’s got to be an engineer and make things run so you crafty people can have fun 😉

                                              I do my crafing at night when my kids go to bed and on Saturdays when my Mother In Law has them sleep over her house. I am obsessed with felt play food. It’s is great for kids. I can’t make it fast enough though. My kids imaginations go wild when they play and it is so neat to watch them. They are 5 (next week), 2 and 2. I love to see what they do next with it. I recently got little plastic cups at Walmart for $1 each and I made inserts for them out of felt. It is just pink felt that I sewed in the shape of the inside of the glass and I stuffed it with polyfil. It is easily removed for an orange one, brown one, yellow or white. They pretend like they are milk shakes, lemonade, milk and orange juice. lol I made dinners too. lol Chicken leg with veggies, pastas, salads, cakes, pizza. Sorry! I get carried away! lol

                                                oh, Mocha do you have Photo shop or any other photo editing software? If you do, you can do it on there. I think you may be able to use photobucket.com for that too. It’s free. They have a photo editing tool on there.

                                                    It was my first time

I have a lot of pics of my scrapbooking but they are all of my kids and since I adopted one of them I won’t post pics even with the face blurred. I will scrap some of my bunnies and post them sometime.

                                                                        Kralspace, idk how people have been trying to teach you, but you should look into continental style knitting (also called “picking”)… you hold the yarn in your left hand rather than your right hand and use the right needed to “pick up” the yarn to make the stitch. There are some good tutorials on youtube for knitting too.

I knitted it from 100% unbleached linen, my favorite textile. It goes well with Jeans, and is wrinkle-free — just my thing.

But did it for fun and I had some very nerdy friends who liked to reenact sword fights and such.

                                                                                                        I really enjoyed looking at all your crafts!! I LOVE crafts!!!

                                                                                                        I love embroidery most of all but I’ve pretty much tried my hand at everything. I always have a bunch of different projects on the go. Some are hand embroidery and I do cross-stitch too. I love the idea of scrapbooking but I’m terrible at it and I got frustrated and threw everything out!

                                                                                                        I recently became interested in making teddy bears. The heirloom kind but the tools and material are very expensive so I haven’t done too much yet.
