I think I have to say that my favorite craft to do, although I'm known to try many different things is, crocheting and knitting.

Wouldn't I love to sit with Croi and spin wool and have her teach me some of the wonderful things she does. Making your own moisturizer? What a woman!

I chose "Something Else" in the poll as my favorite things to do are creating oil mixtures with etheric oils (like natural parfums, mixtures for my aroma therapy lamp, bath recipes) and candle craft. The day could not get any better when I'm melting old wax and making new candles out of it. The results amaze me to no end each time.

I'm in love with ceramics myself. I do the entire range, but I prefer to make sculptures and figurines to pottery.

I love to crochet and knit as it keeps my hands and mind busy.

Years ago I used to sew and some of my favorite pieces are ones I did 15 or so years ago.

I have dabbled when I have time with sketching/drawing (used to do many years ago too), jewelry making, hair stcks.

I just started a photo scrapbook with my daughters.

I love sewing, it's a big passion of mine. So far I've made two corsets(only one is wearable though. Cardboard does NOT make good boning, lol), gloves, three skirts(I'm working on a Victorian skirt at the moment), and a mini hat.

Blessed be,

I touch just about everything like painting, knitting, scultures, drawing and so on. With 4 kids I always has my hands in something artistic. My passion for the moment is woodburning. I have done some pieces so far that I am proud of. I only use used wood except for wood books which I buy. Besides that all the wood I use is recycle wood or come directly from nature.

I handcraft soap and also dabble at making candles. I've just thought about making a soap for myself to use for bathing before a ritual. Just thinking about which oil/oils to use....

I am just amazed at the amount of talent that's in here :D :D :D maybe a thread could be made for Show and Tell?....

Bright Blessings

I actually love to do a few of those things. I Crochet and Cross stitch, unfortunately i haven't tried embroidery, though of course cross stitching is very close to it, still not the same. i'd really like to try it when i have the time.

does music count? lol i love to sing. maybe i can sing my embroidery together.
