Currently, my favorite crafts are soapmaking and sewing. I love making soap because it's better for my family, useful, and it's fun. Sewing is fun because I take fabric and turn it into fun, functional works of art.

What about you? What crafts do you do and why?

I love to knit and crochet, also jigsaw puzzles and then put them into a frame. I wish that I could sew, but I can't. I am working on a couple of baby quilts and I'm not doing very well. I don't have a sewing machine and therefore I am doing all my hand. By the time my grand-babies are grown maybe I will have this project done. Have a wonderful day

I am still learning to knit and crochet. I have the basics down, but I am very slow. I do think it's fun to make neat things essentially out of string.

I used to do a lot of crafts..sewing,embroidery, knitting, mirror work, making wall hangings, glass painting, crochet bead work, and a lot more..

I would watch anything shown on television and make those things..But now I don't do all that..only interested in internet.

Maybe you should start looking at craft websites. Then you might be inspired to craft again.

It's not lack of inspiration or anything like that.. Getting old and everywhere in the house there is a touch of my art is already there..have a nice day

I enjoy knitting, embroidery and needlepoint. I would love to do some of those intricate cross stitch pictures, but my eyes won't focus on them after about two minutes. Instead, I stick to small cross stitch ornaments and things like that. Knitting is the one I do the most, though.

I used to cross stitch. I would like to pick it up again, but I think I already have plenty of crafts for now!

I've done many different crafts in my lifetime: beading, painting, drawing, sculpting out of clay, etc. The one I've stuck with most is cross-stitch. I only learned how to do it a few years ago but I don't think I'll stop anytime soon! Right now I'm working on an eagle for my mom. I'm hoping to have done by November in time for her birthday, Christmas at the latest.

I make cards and have made cards for over 5 years now.I enjoy doing the cards aswell as getting an extra bit of money from selling them.I sell them to friends aswell as family i also have friends that sell my cards to their friends aswell to make a bit of money for themselves.I am thinking of trying to sell a few on ebay soon to see how well they sell on there now that i have a few spare ones that i have made.


subearthancottage (31)   ranked 264 out of 1,063 in crafts  2 years ago

If you're looking for places to sell your cards online, Etsy.com and ArtFire.com are two great handmade venues. I sell soap and some of my other crafts on both. Etsy does better overall for me, but ArtFire is free unless you get a pro account.

I make sea glass jewelry. I stopped making glass bead jewelry because so many people already were, and I love looking for and finding sea glass on the beach, so it was just a natural progression for my jewelry making.
I also enjoy knitting from time to time, but sadly, I don't have as much time as I'd like to knit. I make candles with my sons, and would love to make soaps (we haven't used commercial soap in years, instead we buy from handmade vendors)but again, finding the time is so very hard these days.

I love to crochet, bead jewelry, and sewing. I have not sewed in quite sometime but thinking about restarting. I am considering making soap.

Welcome to mylot, nice to know you can make soap at home for family use, is it for cleaning clothes only or for bath too? My daughter in law tried this we got caustic soda and coconut oil for this, but calculation showed it was costly than the readymade in the mall..
Thanks. happy
God bless you. Have a nice day.
Cheers. have a nice day

I make cards/stamp and scrapbook. I love both of them...the cards especially as you take just a piece of paper and turn it into something usable! And I sell a ton of them! I love trying almost any craft though...I think it's a wonderful usable passtime!
