Did you show interest in crafts from your childhood or acquired it later?

My grandmother had a nursing home and i sure enjoyed the older women. They would show me how to do many crafts if i could get the equipment. I learnt to knit, crochet and quilt. I sure enjoyed it then and do many items now.

I am interested in all the above mentioned things and even did all those work. I think i have acquired it in the later stages of like after watching my friends and their family members do

Hi Buchi! I did not show any interest whatsoever in crafts when I was young.Even now I won't qualify as a crafts person who does a lot of handwork.However, I can say thAT I developed a taste in embroidery and did a few pillowcovers , a table cloth and a half finished T.V. cover.I made one crochet doll and 1 sponge doll as soon as I got married..Then , when I was a newlywed I tried some handwork using felt paper and did some sincere work and the output was a vague wall hanger.This si all that I have done by means of handwork for the past 30 years. I am not too bad in kolams and I still put some good kolam if I want to.My mother is a great one in this and I admire her .I still have two curtains embroidered by her where she has done some fabulous embroidery.One day I shall take a picture and post it here.

I was very involved in arts and crafts when I was a child, and I think the all the painting, drawing and crafting helped me with color combinations when it came to making jewelry. I learned knitting at a much later age, but working with beads definitely was acquired when I was a small child.

hi,friend,h r u,hope,fine.Regarding,this discussion,i can say,i am poor in other cultural activities,as my father was teacher and he used to concentrateon studies only.As he hailed from agriculture family,might be he was interested to see us in higher positions.But in college,i learnt,painting,even now,i used to paint,whenever i got good thought. All the best and have a nice time,Buchi.

My mom brought me up learning how to knit, I also learned how to sew when I was 8 years old, so yes I learned at an early age. I also taught myself how to paint when I was 15 years old, I use to paint peoples kitchens with farm animals and all kinds of things, I made a lot of cash when I was younger, but I haven't painted in years.

i have always been interested in crafts, i guess because my mom was always crafty. now i am fortunate that i can nuture this in my 13 year old daughter.

My grandmother taught me how to crochet and I have taught my daughters and granddaughter....my mother always did crafts.....so it was a natural for me to learn more as I went along. Right now I love cardmaking/stamping and scrapping most. I also love painting on glass.

My mother has always been interested in crafts, and I think that she was one of the reasons why I got interested in crafts. When I was a child I watched her make dolls, christmas decosrations and many other things. She tried to teach me to knit, but I was too young at that time, and I wasn't very good at it. Today I like knitting, and I have knitted many different kinds of things. I also love painting and making my own cards. I am working on a huge painting at the moment, and that is a big challenge and a new experience.

I got into crafts at an early age. Schools were great at introducing fun and interesting crafts. I was very lucky to find crafts at an early age. I still do many of these crafts today such as embroidery. I have picked up a few other crafting hobbies over the years. It is never too late to learn a fun and exciting craft.

You reminded me of my 'pre school' days, there was a girls primary school near our home, now it is a high school, my mom used to send me there, some other boys were there too,i learnt there stitching, now also i can fix button on my shirts if my wife and daughter in laws are not there.... Thanks. God bless you. Have a nice day. Cheers. Prof
