I want to chat about crafts. I'm no expert:) I make things I like, not to sell something. But I want to share romantic craft ideas. So come on, are there any?
Greetings from Holland!

(Title: I mean 'noT an artist')Hey Betty! Don't tell anyone but I craft all the time. When I was in college I made gemstone jewelery and did little craft shows all over the area. Now I primarily do it for gifts and for us. I mostly do wood working and I like to refinish old furniture and give alittle twist. I made my family wind chimes from things I found after Hurricane Ike for Christmas. I like to look for odd little things when traveling and incorporate them into projects. I'm not an artist either but I like to play with my crafts!

I use to make them little bells on a silk cord for my sons teachers for Christmas. Also have chokers and bracelets which my sons run off with and give away. Good thing I can make more,
loli feel the same about the jewellery that i make. i have one permanent customer, but all i get from her is grief - my 13 year old daughter. she always asks if what i'm making is for her or tries to otherwise claim it for herself. i don't know how romantic it is, but most of the jewellery that my partner wears was made by me. he has one necklace that he wears everyday and when the wire wears out, he comes home all upset because he can't wear it.

I learned how to crochet as a teenager. However, now I only have patience to make is a granny square baby blanket. I wanted to learn how to quilt, but I only got as far as making a lining for the blanket. I would love how to do other crafts.

I actually knit and crochet many items during fall and winter time. Beanies and scarves are very easy to make. I also used to make stencils for spraying on shirts.

I'm from Alaska and we are known to save projects for winter, when there's nothing to do. I dabble in many crafts, too. I sew. quilt, knit, crochet, make jewelry, make baby blankets, cook and make my own dog food and treats.
I love to do crafty things, and this weekend I'm selling my sourdough ornaments at a holiday craft sale. I never make a lot of money, but it sure is fun!
Edited to say: I am from Alaska, but I do not live there now. Just to clear that up.

I too love to craft. Am always fiddling with something. I am planning to make some wall art with old book covers, sort of collages, for Christmas gifts so need to get busy with that! May write an article about it too. We'll see.

I'm 6'2" and have always been large- muscular for most of my life but right now just fat. I never publicized it but I always loved making pottery and doing sculpture though I never perused it to any degree. Would that come under the heading of craft?

I am not really an artist, yet, but I like to think I am! I play around with graphics and try drawing all the time.
~thranax~Though I'm a painter I do sew a little, I can cross-stitch, and learned that stamp embossing trick, hehe.
I am definitely open to crafty stuff like knitting, crotchetting, sewing, etc. but my patience is limited. :sFor many years I crocheted every day. I am allergic to the wool in most yarns, so I use string. My ex-husband used to tease me that one of my table cloths could cover our whole trailer. I haven't done this in a while and will probably put my spare time in this for a while but it is comforting to know its still there when I get back to it.

I absolutely love knitting... I knit almost every day (even in the summer) It is fun and relaxing and you get "designer" stuff

do you have lots of shops near you selling wool, or do you buy on line, wool shops seem to be a thing of the past

most crafters are a bit fat it comes from sttting down a lot, you should say cuddly not fat
