Scrapbooking is it for me. It's my only outlet. I work, I'm a mom, it's the only me time I have. And I sacrifice sleep for scrapbooking time.

Anything crafty that don't require a sewing machine haha! I can't sew to save my life.
I really want to try my hand at mesh wreaths but they intimidate me.

I mostly just scrap and paper craft and make cards. But I do enjoy making home decor items, like sewing pillows, or making a weathered sign for my kitchen, etc. I haven't done that kind of thing lately but I'd like to do more of it. But I've ALWAYS been crafty and was doing needle crafts when I was three! Crazy. I love crafty folks and respect the work that goes into them all... so y'all are my PEOPLE |

I've never met a craft I didn't like! I have been known to sew,knit, quilt etc. I've recently been doing more sewing than anything but I'm not as obsessed with anything else the way I am with scrapping! I do read regularly so that's a close second. I also try really hard to teach my children to have an active lifestyle so our downtime gets filled with running, biking, skiing etc.

I am severely art-impaired. That I got into papercrafting is a kind of miracle in itself. I am a musician, so I enjoy listening as well as performing - although I guess it's not a hobby if it's your job... I am a disaster with other arts/crafts.
My favorite thing about papercrafting is that I don't HAVE to be good at it, KWIM? With music, there is a certain level of expectation - if I don't do a really good job, there will be trouble. But with cardmaking or scrapbooking, I can make a mistake or just have a mediocre result, and it's FINE, as long as I'm having fun!

I'm a voracious reader. I paint and cross stitch. I weave baskets. I quilt. I'm attempting to teach myself to knit with not much success. Time to head back to my mother's for some remedial lessons!

I've done plenty of things over the years but these days I really only sew or scrapbook.
I still have lots of unfinished projects and supplies for some of my past loves and one day I might go back so I'm happy to hang on to them as long as I have the space. I think teddy bear making is one I'll pick up again eventually - I loved watching their little personalities come to life.

I like sewing garb that is pseudo historical
I used to like spinning but I'm so rusty now it frustrates me
I used to love to draw and paint, especially folk art painting on vintage items
making ornaments - little dolls dressed historically using vintage fabrics and trims

I've done just about everything in fabric and paper arts - sewing, quilting, embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, knitting, crocheting, macrame, lacemaking, spinning, weaving, calligraphy, watercolor, silk screening, printmaking, stone engraving, pottery, ceramics, stained glass, and probably quite a few that that I don't even remember. I also love to bake.

Craft-wise, I tend to stick to cardmaking and scrapbooking. I do volunteer in schools, with kids, so if I find an easy non-paper craft, I'll do that, but not for myself.
I love to read.

I don't currently do much other than scrapbooking, project life, and the occasional card. But, SOMEDAY I will learn to knit, crochet, and actually SEW. I did make a rag quilt that is on our bed...I'm pretty proud of that one.

Check out the Klutz Kit for Knitting. I bought it for one of the kids and started using it myself this Spring. I need to get back to it. I'd like to finish the scarf I started. |

I feel like I've tried most crafts and like them all.
What I would like to try next is calligraphy for the Refupea Christmas Card Swap.
