    I cross stitch. The second one is the art that the chart is based on.

    Holy crap, you must have some crazy patience! I tried cross-stitching some little Pokemon (about 3x3in) and it took foreeever.

    @CanesGalactica This is right up your alley.

    Indeed it is! Thanks!

    I float around and do lots of stuff. These are all recent projects. I'm a multi-crafter, too, but an illustrator by trade.

    Those quilts are stunning, wow!

    I do lots but also can't post pics from my phone. I make aromatherapy products, cakes and cake toppers, sewing, knitting, cross stitching, crocheting, and craft of all kinds. Jack of all trades. My photography skills however leave much to be desired. [edited by mods]

    I do love me some knitted quilts. I sew but I don't have time/patience to knit.

    I paint, draw and write. Otherwise, I'm just a philosophical flower gardener.

    @CanesGalactica did you know there is a volunteer program that knits red hats for newborns? I will see if I can find the link. I can't remember what the project is off the top of my head but when I saw it on the news I immediately thought of you.

    Found it!

    Looks like a worthy cause!

    I did not know about this one, but was aware of others. Some knit for newborns. My grandmother used to knit for older folks who needed lap blankets, I've knit for the SPCA and others I know knit for children with cancer. Lots of worthy causes and a pretty awesome way to use up bits of yarn to make some pretty colorful (and still nice) things for others in need. :)

    Thanks. They're super easy, too. Also, I see Bill Cipher in your avatar, lol. Good show.

    Dug up some older stuff to keep the thread kinda going since I love seeing what other things people make that I can't. The very first Halloween costume I sewed for my son. He was Finn and I was Fionna. :)

    Lol, that's awesome.

    And yeah, I made Jake, Cake, the hats, the skirt (for Fionna) and Finn's backpack for the costume. :)

    I made some cute kids that I don't ignore.

    My friend has a fridge magnet that says, "I love giving homemade gifts. Which kid would you like?" I love it! I have a good giggle every time I visit (twice a week)

    Keeping this going. :)

    This is a costume I sewed and did all the prop work for a few years ago. I really need to sew another one of those shirts, lol.

    Good drywall patching does take some skill.

    Those are so cool! Are they just for decoration? Are they hollow?

    There's a small hollow space inside them. It's not very big, but they'll easily hold a few rings, earrings, or even a small bracelet.

    A few weeks off and on. It's pretty repetitive once you get going, so knits up fast.

    You are very talented ,

    Thanks. :)

    It's what keeps me sane, oddly. Pity it doesn't burn a lot of calories. :D
