Making crafts is always alot of fun and the satisfaction you feel when you complete a craft project is wonderful too. I love to make jewellery and have even made necklaces as gifts for my grandmother and mother. Do you make jewellery at home? or at a bead shop like tiger eye beads? I love visiting a bead store and searching through all the jars to find a few types of bead which complement each other. My mothers friends now want me to sell them jewellery. I would love to learn how to knitt, as some of my friends knitt Im hoping that one of them will teach me. Right now im also quite interested in scrapbooking. For my birthday my mother made me a beautiful scrabook of my childhood photographs which has inspired me to give scrapbooking a go. So currently Im making a scrapbook of my recent holiday photographs.

Hi tabatha, Yes Im a home maker, I do alot of beaded jewellery & sell them. However at the moment I have started selling other things, like door draft stoppers for the winter season. Im also trying a new passion of mine which is mosaicing. Loving it right now. Im always looking for new things to make..lol I get bored other wise. Yeah I was wondering about the scrapbooking also as its so popular these days. Maybe one day I will try this also...lol

I want to learn how to make jewelry. I do a lot of baking and make gift baskets. I want to sell my giftbaskets online, but I am not sure where to start. I am also not certain if I would need some kind of permit. I also paint ornaments. I have done mosaics, but it has been a while. I am also decorating a couple of wreaths to give away as Christmas Presents. The kind of things I bake are cookies, breads and candy. I love making candy. This year it may be hard to make candy because my husband is diabetic (we just found this out) and I do not want to make anything that may jeopardize his health. I can not wait to have children of my own so I can share all these things. My mother in law had passed away, but before I had gotten married to her son she has given me many candy recipes to me that she had created over the years. She is unfortunately gone now, but I am glad she had shared these things with me. She tried sharing these things with her sons's but they never caught on.

I often buy old magazines in second hand shops, and I use the pictures from the magazines in my paintings and in the cards that I make. I like to combine the pictures in funny or unsual ways. Some years ago I spent most of the time on my paintings, but I have started to spend more time on my cards, and I hope that the cards will be easier to sell. I often use my art in my cards. I also like to make papercuts and to decorate boxes. Sometimes I knit, and I am knitting a blanket at the moment.

Though I am rather clumsy with my paws, I do enjoy making string art across my owner's floors! What else is a bad ole puddytat suppose to do with all that yarn? It's just sitting there in the basket, taunting me! MEOWWWWWWW
