I am sitting here, working on a Stampin' Up summary from the April kit and wondered what everyone's favorite crafts were?
This months kit from MPP was a Spring Wreath and mixed the paper art with a simple DIY - totally cute and super easy. I loved it, but got me thinking that it if I were to choose a favorite craft medium I would have a hard time deciding.
I am working on pieces about a Martha Stewart Loom, a Sock Loom, more MPP/Stampin Up items, Glass Etching to name a few and I guess for right now it is looming.
I decided that since I love blankets I am making a loomed blanket with our 3 favorite teams colors - San Diego Chargers will be a weave of yellow and blue, San Diego Padres will be a weave of cream and blue and the Los Angeles Lakers will be a weave pg purple and gold/yellow. My plan is then set these loomed squares together into one large blanket.
I have SO MANY projects in process it is hard to know what to work on!
So what is your favorite type of craft?
Jennifer

I seem to have moved away from crafts lately. In the past I've sewn, knitted, scrapbooked (inc stamping etc etc), digi scrapped but nothing's grabbing me lately  |

Another one who hasn't done much crafting with anything lately, even my beloved knitting or digi scrapping! At the moment I haven't even got anything on my list that I really want to do.  |

I'm having fun adding new techniques to card making. Stamping and watercolors trying to do something like this:

I am a self confessed scrapbooking addict!!! I mainly do pocket style pages now but I started with 12x12 layouts at least 6 or 7 years ago. As a general rule I am not what you would call crafty but give me some pretty paper and photos and I am happy.  |

I am a scrapbooker right now. In the past I have cross-stitched, done needlepoint, crewel, and embroidery. I would love to try quilting once I retire.

I have been sewing more lately, working on a quilt. I'm also starting a new knitting project today to try to get back my mojo for yarn and needles. I'm going on a knitting retreat in June, so it would be great if I'd been knitting any time in the recent past by the time that came around. Ha! When I gave away my scrapping supplies a few years ago, and my clays, and my paints, etc, etc, I decided I would have 2 crafts and that's it: sewing and knitting. Sometimes I think I might enjoy amassing the supplies for a new craft more than I am likely to do it again past the first project. I think the Michael's and JoAnn empires have been built on this phenomenon.  |

I don't scrap anymore and am in the process of getting rid of scrap supplies.
I used to make soap. I'd like to delve into that a little more.
I've become an avid (compulsive? Lol) knitter over the past 1 1/2 years. I really enjoy it.
I have a few other random craft projects saved on Pinterest and I'm hoping to explore those when I have more time on my hands this summer.

I love crochet and never seem to get bored with it. I still make mini books and dabble with knitting. I'd really love to learn how to needle felt, I've seen some adorable things but can't justify spending on all the supplies at the moment.

I am not doing any crafts at the moment. We have been putting in new hardwood floors ourself between other things and the last 2 bedrooms (one is my craftroom) have been a total mess for 2 years. (yes kill me now) We finally got the floor done in the craftroom and I'm starting to get it back together so I hope to get back into scrapbooking.
I have done cross stitching, card making, crocheting, wreath making and many other things in between.
Since my house has been a mess I haven't had much mojo.
