I've done a lot of different crafts over the years and have settled into my favorites of sewing, counted cross stitch and scrapbooking. I'll still oddball crafts when the mood strikes but the three favorites keep me happy. I'll never live long enough to do all the projects I have planned, collected and imagined.

Want to learn to paint, but haven't done anything with that desire yet. Other hobbies are vegetable and flower gardening, although that's not really a craft. **I love the candles and am very impressed with the samplers***. Does anyone on this board tat? I think it is coming back into vogue.

Here is a big rug I crocheted about 20 years ago and a couple of my paintings.....

Boy, it sounds like we are all cut out of the same cloth!! Pardon that pun!!! There is not a craft out there (except tatting) that I have not tried. Some came and went, some stayed a while, and some stole my heart forever!! Those are quilting, oil and watercolor painting, and sewing garments for my grandchildren. I knit in the summer because quilting is too warm in my lap. and now I have to go make a doll quilt for that exchange...my first doll quilt. Wish me luck!

Beautiful cross stitching. I like to embroider, sew dolls, scrapbook, make cards. A little drawing & painting. In years past did some wood crafting. Knit, some crochet. Tried some other things but usually end up back at the sewing machine.
