My first love is Cross Stitching. I am determined to learn to knit this year even if I just manage to knit a scarf or two I would be thrilled.
But cross stitching is my first love.
What is your craft of choice?
hugs, -missy-

I don't think I can narrow it down to just one...I'd have to say my top 3 are: 1) sewing 2) scrapbooking 3) knitting
Good luck with the knitting-the trick is to keep practicing! Once you master a couple of different stitches, you can really make some beautiful things! Have fun! |

My first love of crafting is woodworking, but I also enjoy many different crafts, including leatherwork, papercrafts and crocheting fabrics. I also dabble in upcycled crafts.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I cannot master those things that I have not tried.

I hop around so much! My favorites come and go in phases. Right now I'm into making beauty items. I just made some solid perfumes today.

Sheila, saw a poster online the other day that says "Gardening is cheaper than therapy. And you get tomatoes." Crafting/creating is the same way!
I'd have to say sewing/quilting, crocheting and knitting. I also make cards and love to do faux-finish and decorative painting. I will also gladly spend great amounts of time seeing what will play nicely with glue. I'm always trying new ways to do old tricks with each of those, and the latest "obsession" has been mug mats and mini-quilts.

I'm with all of you - can't pick just one. Right now I'm very much into embroidery. Before that it was knitting. But also love to sew, do punch needle and locker hooking. My next "learning experience" will be with tatting - picked up books, DVD, thread and needles. But have to finish my dish towels I'm embroidering for some g-friends coming out this summer. Guess what I love the best is what I'm working on at the current moment in time. |

Woodworking is my favorite. I'm also hoping to take a workshop or two in metalworking so that I can eventually make my own hardware (hinges, pulls, etc.). Also, I want to learn to sew leather, also to complement my woodworking.
And, I love to knit and do counted cross stitch. It never ends! I like what Annie said about loving best what she's working on at the time... That's a good outlook and one I think I'll try to adopt. Karen

Karen, have you ever considered making leather hinges? If made with the right leather, they can be beautiful on woodwork.
