I have to say my dolls are my favorite thing. They're actually earning me money now AND I love to make them because they all turn out so individual. I always finish one and then "introduce" it to my husband....he seems annoyed but he's good-natured enough to deal with it. :)

As a pass time.. I love to garden.. so relaxing & therapeutic for me..
You can think & reflec while you garden..
& in the end.. So glory to show for it all!
But in Crafting.. i like things that show me INSTANT Gratification!
Yes.. i know.. SO impatient! But i want to do things that hurry up & show me how it's going to turn out!
I do like things like:
Sewing..
Painting..
Clay..
Beads..
I even like doing things with dried flowers.. Like Wreaths..
In a World Where you Can Be Anything, Be Yourself.. |

I like sewing, quilting, making yoyos, knitting with a loom, tatting, cross stitching, painting, gardening, writing, beading, scrapbooking, baking, and cooking. There pretty much isn't anything I won't try.
I would really like to learn to crochet. |

I am just into soaping and sewing.
But Bison Tallow Soap, Wow. I have been soaping for a very long time and been in countless swaps... and I have never used Bison tallow soap! And you are the first person I have ever heard make it. But if you ever want to swap a bar.... I only make the boring Olive oil kind.

Beth, I started using some "exotic" tallows after joining the Tallow Soapers group on yahoo.
One of the gals there renders deer, bison, raccoon! and offers it for sale. I've gotten much from her but I've also rendered bison and elk tallow from locally ranched animals. People with "vegan" issues wouldn't choose my soap, but I love the soaps using tallow and lard in the blend of oils.(like the "old" days) Rendering is a messy PIA though~but at least the fats, a byproduct, don't go to waste and get tossed out. Plus they make awesome soap!

Here are some of my favs
knitting - socks, dishcloths
crochet - doilies, dishcloths, baby afghans
sewing - making yo-yo's, collecting fabric (especially 1930's reproduction fabrics, they are my favorite)
spinning
I've also done cross stitch and needlepoint, but not very much any more.

Hi gals,
I mostly do crochet and I taught myself with only a few minutes watching a woman after I had learned. This was before the internet! lol
I make thick warm vests, afghans--baby and large ones,rugs,pillows, etc
I learned to knit in grade school in Bermuda in the 50s and picked it back up a few years ago....slower for me but relaxing to do
the only time I watch tv without crafting is when I am falling asleep
lol
YOYOS ARE MY FAVORITE NOW....!
also do plastic canvas needlepoint
hand and machine embroider
learned to sew in the 60s in grade school...and never stopped sewing. Some of our machines were the treadle type but went too slow for me...we only had a few electric ones in the class, also shortage of electric outlets...LOL
wow, I am sounding like an oldtimer....! I am 57 years old now.
nuff about me..
Easy does it,one day at a time by the grace of God. Amazing grace how sweet the sound. Linda in PA |

I especially love to make dolls. Sculpting & painting their faces is probably my favorite part of the process. I also really enjoy stitching up different kinds of sewing accessories. I think this is because I love using those things. I like hand stitching almost anything but can't stand to quilt! Go figure.

Some of my favorites are:
knitting......socks, dishcloths, baby things, socks--mostly socks
crocheting.....snowflakes, angels, pillowcase edgings
sewing.......wedding dresses, prom dresses--yes I love a challenge
some embroidery and counted cross stitch--I used to do alot of that
Most of my crafty time is spent quilting now. I like to hand quilt, also quilt on the longarm and I love needle turn applique.
