Question Of The Day. Saturday 12th Of May.

[Norachan]

Good morning.




Are you crafty? What kinds of crafts do you do?

I like making things, they don't always turn out that well but it's fun to try anyway.

I sew (not very well, mainly cat beds and blankets) paint (with varying levels of success, I think my painted pebbles are about the best attempts) do ceramics, woodwork and make ornaments out of found or recycled objects.

How about you?

 

[Draco]

I don't do too much crafts anymore, only with my niece.

but when I did, I'd work with popsickle sticks (made vases, boxes). Lanyards (keychains), ceramics, holiday things.

Sometimes I think about doing them, then I think about the work it takes to take it out and clean up after so I don't bother, lol

 

[betsygee]

I would like to be, but am not.

My efforts tend to turn out more like these.

 

[micknsnicks2mom]

i'm not really into crafts. i do enjoy working on projects, all kinds of them. my projects are mostly home improvements and cat wall furniture related.

 

[aliceneko]

I was quite crafty when I was a child as I did a lot of painting, knitting, sewing and also enjoyed clay making, but I don't really do much crafting anymore; I don't have the same kind of time as I used to.
The only thing I actively do is adult colouring but I'm also starting manga drawing.

 

[muffy]

I am not crafty at all.

 

[Columbine]

I love crafting! I make jewellery, I do cross stitch/embroidery, sewing with the machine (simple stuff like tote bags, dog jumpers and cat toys), I can kind of crochet (but I'm not very good), I want to start weaving now my friend showed me how to use my mini heddle loom, I've done a little knitting (but I'm worse at that than the crochet!), I've made suncatchers and dreamcatchers, beaded Xmas tree decorations. Oh, and I've tried needlefelting too. I do a lot of colouring too, if that counts

That's about all I can think of right now! I've got the ingredients to make my own body butter, but haven't got around to doing that yet. I used to make up essential oil sprays for my pony (mostly fly repellants), but I haven't done that for a while now either.

 

[Winchester]

No.

Well, I probably shouldn't say that. I did a "thing" with ceramics many years ago, followed by a "thing" with macrame. Both require patience and I'm not known for patience. I did a bit of cross-stitch, too. Oh, and some rug-hooking.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I'm a big crafter. My main thing is crocheting stuffed animals. Here's a few of the ones I've made in the last year or so. I gave the monkey one to my niece today for her birthday. It's a lot bigger than the picture makes it seem.
I made this bee and the embroidery thing for my sister in law. I'm still quite proud of the embroidery.

I made this gnome for work. At the library I work at, we have a kid's thing where I answer letters/questions from kids as Mr. Gnome-It-All so I crocheted a gnome.

I did rug hooking when I was a kid. I don't have the patience for any of that anymore either. I bought myself a "teach yourself to crochet" book. Yeah right. It's never been opened.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I love doing crafty things! I don't have time as much as I'd like; but it's one of the things that really fulfills me. I don't know that I'd do it for income though. I usually just do whatever hits my imagination. It might be painting or sewing. I tried to teach myself to crochet. I've done beading, card making, rubber stamping. I've made candle holders for wedding favors. Plant markers. Who knows what else.

I would like to take some art classes. Nothing serious; just personal enrichment.

 

[handsome kitty]

I like to craft but my projects always look like they were done by a 3 year old.

 

[Norachan]

Those are really good MonaLyssa33

handsome kitty mine all have a certain "naive charm" to them to, but it's still fun to try.

micknsnicks2mom Anything remotely cat related is always appreciated.

 

[blueyedgirl5946]

I don't do so much anymore. I tried once to learn how to knit. I just didn't have any success at it. I did learn crochet. I have made shawls, capes, afghans, and I have crocheted the American flag twice. The pattern was large enough to cover a single bed. Then I did some needlepoint and I have done some embroidery.
