    I'm also a cross stitcher (and reader, but reading leads to munching for me!) I'm working on a larger project for Mom for Easter - called His Name Is Jesus with all the names of Jesus. It's really cool!

    I crochet. I've finished one blanket for my oldest son, now I need to get back to finishing my middle son's blanket, then start on my youngest son's. Once I start it again, hopefully it won't take very long and they will get to use them this year:smile:

    I make homemade/handmade greeting cards, scrapbooks, paper crafts with the rubber stamping medium. I like to create things that are one of a kind. My daughters gets invited to everyone's birthday parties because they all want a card from me! Funny. I haven't bought a card in years.

    I don't scrapbook for myself yet, just gifts for special friends. I'm very meticulous and it takes time to do anything. If you get something from me that I make, consider yourself very special.

    Everyone needs a hobby/passion.

    Well, I am attempting to crochet...but my "scarves" end up looking scalloped because the rows are all crooked and uneven...I'm ready to throw in the towel!!

    Okay I have one I didn't see. I cut, paint, and put christmas diarama scenes in OSTRICH eggs. That's right Ostrich eggs, and goose eggs. I also am a wildlife, and landscape artist. I make jewelry, clay flowers, crochet. I made a bath robe for my hubby for Christmas and I am going to make my daughters wedding cake. I will try just about anything. Linda

    Right now I am making pinewood derby cars. My cub scouts have their pinewood derby on Saturday so that is the craft that I am doing right now.

    I like to crochet but only scarves and dish clothes. I also like to experiment with watercolors. I've done beading, modge podge, make my own roman blinds, cross stitch. So many fun things!
    Currently I have a scarf I should finish and two paintings.

    I cross-stitch and always have one big one and then a smaller one going. I tried knitting and crocheting, but got very frustrated that I couldn't make a swatch with a consistent gauge. Then I found those Knifty Knitters. I really love them. I can whip out a scarf and hat in just a couple of days. And it is easy to put down and come back to. I have done several small blankets, too. It's surprising what you can do with them. I am looking into buying some looms with finer gauges so I can make some nicer stuff. Another craft I am trying to start is stained glass. It's a big investment initially, so I am getting materials little by little. I am hoping to try an sell a few pieces once I get the hang of it.
