Not quite menopausal yet, definitely not a hippy, I don't think I'm mad, and only one cat (so far), but my creativity is explored through baking and cooking. I'd also love to develop skills in interior design.
your bakes are beautiful, you should post some photos.
Forgot to mention, we're not a;llowed to promote our youtube channels on here (you'll just have to take my word for it) but NEVER let me loose with alcohol, Paintshop Pro ad similar graphic/photo editing software, even when sober.
you`re ok to post a link i`m sure, i`d love to have a listen.
I forgot to say earlier that I like cooking/ baking as well as sketching. I'd love to write a book but that's never going to happen. I love reading all sorts of stuff but especially crime thrillers and the skill of some people is fantastic, I could never write like them.
well that`s a good thing that your style is your own.
Dusty pillow from the litters of my cigarette.
A Smoked room, ashtray burning with the window open.
Throat excited from the waterfall of liquor.
A half empty bottle, corkscrew dead with the head attached.
Ears drowning from the waves that beat its drum.
A speaker rattles, volume turning with the mouse perched beside.
Hand tingling from the touch of its best friend.
A heart content, time encroaching with the love of someone’s banter.
Sun appearing from the safety of night.
A day attacks, timetable leering with the bag of time to leave.
I breathe.
(Meh.. The last thing I wrote. I don't particularly think I'm any good an I don't even know much about poetry, but I enjoy it an that's all that matters)
i like this. very descriptive, i might steal something from that for some stitchery if you don`t mind.
edit: i`ll have to attribute the quote to "bastard"

Don't expect anything in the levels of Vangellis, Jean Micheal Jarre, The Beatles or the Street Hawk theme as they weren't done with expensive proffessiional software and gear. I'vedone a few small tunes on it and I'm working on a simulationof graphics done on '80s style 8-bit computers (my emulation of a BBC micro start up's done) and it's a matter of selecting the sequences and with the right phone app (Bitzah from Google Play Store) I can get 8-bit computer graphics style photographs (who said I have to do normal things with photography and photo editing software))?

it`s all good, i like to fiddle with all the music software demos, you can make just as good sounds with free things as bought and often much better - that goes for instruments too..

I've got 4 weeks to go! I find my mind more creative, but in practice, no lol. My poor mum has had a list as long as her arm of things I wanted making (she sews, embroiders and crotchets) - I've got patchwork quilts, cushions, a cot mobile, sleeping bags, changing bags etc that I've envisioned and she's made for me!
sorry, i missed this on the first go round , i`m with grandchild so am also making baby things .
i was big on sewing and knitting in my pregnancies.
Great idea for a thread, I had been looking on this forum for somewhere for crafters/artistic makes etc.
Everyone's work is wonderful here!
I started crochet last February and I adore it, I tried knitting but couldn't get going, but this just stuck! I love all kinds of crafty things though and have a few projects on a to do list that I am collecting for. At the minute I am putting together a flower blanket, I have done all 64 squares and now just need to join them together.
Here's some of my crochet makes....
Kira the kanga
Lupo the lamb
Little dog
A couple of happy hippos
Not crochet but it's something I did in decorating the house last year, I did a patchwork sort of wallpaper collage on the middle of my doors, I used samples of wallpaper that fit in with my vintage inspired room and I liked.
My PB is going really slow ATM so I'll leave it there, but I may add some later, I have quite a few crocheted animals that I have done. I also do scarfs and hats, but not any photos of those.

super tidy work and i adore your door ♥.
i`ve been crocheting a fair bit too of late, i tend to make a lot of things up as i go along and adapt patterns.
i`ve just finished [bar the weaving and snipping] a double sided string of cdish sized hearts with crocheted flowers in the centre and joined by the same hearts in watermelon and strawberries and cream colours for a child`s room.
too idle to take photos, i might slip out later with some of my makes and my camera.
does anyone here have any tips for making teacup candles?
i got a huge bag of tea lights for a quid in a charity shop and a collection of vintage and antique glass creamers kicking around doing not much useful. it wouldn`t ruin them right? i can clean them up again with some solvents can i?
also thinking of making some teacup/creamer pin cushions but don`t want to employ a glue gun if that would permanently damage them?
i`ve got them all marked out for my garden later, when i get one.

I have a teacup candle and it's not caused any damage to the cup that I'm aware of just yet. Maybe buy a cheap one from a charity shop and try it out first before using your nice ones. You can buy waxed wicks on eBay for next to nothing and a drop of essential oils in your wax will make some lovely smells. I think the most tasking part will be getting the wax from the tea lights out and melted
I create and design textile art items and sell what I make. I also belong to an arts consortium and get involved with exhibitions occasionally. Available time to create/design with two kids means it's quite limited though, I swear as soon as I sit down with my sewing machine and fabric ready to go I get disturbed! Now the kids are back to school today I should hopefully get back on it.

Aw thank you. I have to admit I love it too, I have done two, the cupboard and the back of the door and now the rooms all done it looks really great, I changed the handle to crystal too. It was so much fun too!
I love the crochet, I'm not too good at adapting patterns, I tend to follow them on the whole but if there's a mistake made I can usually pick it up by changing!
Oh yes please take some!
Isn't the weaving and sewing things together the worst? Well for me it is anyway, I hate it when everything is all crocheted up and I have to sew all the bits together!
I tend to write poetry, it really helps with stress
When I'm feeling really sad or when my heads a mess
The rhymes they come quite easily and sometimes really quick
Which is a tad surprising because I really am quite thick
There is nothing more rewarding than taking a few words
Whack em in a sentence and then create a verse
I know all poems don't have to rhyme but all my do you see
I'm just too pedantic and a little OCD
I wrote this in my lunch hour it took about 5 minutes if I'd written it on paper I'd have probably binned it

Did you do those Teddies?
Utterly fantastic! As a Teddy Bear fan, I think they're beautiful.
is that a sketchbook you`re keeping? i keep meaning to start a new one.
your bakes are beautiful, you should post some photos.
i`ve learned to call the unfinished stuff "samples" and "practice"
you`re ok to post a link i`m sure, i`d love to have a listen.

sorry, i missed this on the first go round

I wish I had more time for crafts, I would like to start a giant cross stitch of Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter sometime!

I'm not too bad at photography, but other than that the 'How be creative handbook' must have got lost in the post.

The digital stuff is really gorgeous.

Thank you. It's taken me a long time to get round to learning to paint digitally. I'm practicing with the portraits.
