I use to do a little of this and that, decided I needed to try to stick to one thing, or the whole house would be filled to the brim with too many different things, do occasionally still tole paint. But figure can make many assorted items w/sewing. :)

That sounds like me! If it caught my eye, I learned to do it. The only things that stuck are painting, quilting and I still do some crochet.....
Here is a big rug I crocheted about 20 years ago and a couple of my paintings.....

Oh just look at that -
cheese :lol:
The mousie is cute too!!!! :XD:

I do lots of crocheting and knitting of scarves and hats for the winter coat drive. Last year got 75 of each done. Do these when watching a good movie at night. Quilting is done during the daylight hours.

Still do counted cross-stitch and redwork/bluework ... often framing those into pictures with quilted borders around them. Love doing seasonal, i.e., Halloween, Patriotic, Easter, etc.

Hi.
Pergamano is also called parchment crafting. It originally came
from the Netherlands. Its basically embossing, perforating, cutting
and sometimes coloring parchment paper into cards, decorations,
invitations, bookmarks, picture frames and even 3 dimensional objects, whatever your little heart can conceive. I've seen
some absolutely gorgeous fans. Go to ecstasy.com and click on
pergamano to see some samples. I pretty much stick to cards, tags and bookmarks.
