A long time ago I asked if anyone was into arts and craft (I'm into cross stitch) and I was overwhelmed by the skills of some of you. There were lots of photo's, paintings, cards submitted. Just thought I'd pop on to see if anyone has recent work to show off?

I make cards too but I don't sell them, I just make them when I'm giving someone one
Ooooeeeeerrrr missus
Hahahaha. That one slipped my dirty mind :eek::D:o
I must have a filthy mind, I spotted that too:eek:
I love to crochet but struggle to work from a pattern, I'd rather just make my own up.
Same with knitting, I work from a pattern for sizes then just make my own design/pattern up.
I envy anyone that can cross stitch, the work is beautiful but far too small for my eyes to focus.
No piccies of anything at the moment but maybe some soon, just waiting for a delivery so I can get to work!
That jewellery is fantastic malibubabe. i just wish i had money now!
I love the rings. I have too many to count now!
Have bookmarked your site malibubabe - love your stuff but am broke till pay day :mad:
I used to make beaded jewelry and offered them to friends as birthday gifts.
I also made cards and bookmarks by Stamping and Embossing, again little gifts to friends. They are easier to make.
There has been many over the years but none of them seem to last very long or people just aren't that interested
Anyways, I do a lot of crafty stuff, cross-stitch {my at-the-moment project is a Coronoation Street kit, not touched it for a while though}, knitting {but I can only knit square things, so I am the go-to person for scarves}, papercrafting {mostly cards}, and jewellery making.
I sell a lot of my stuff online, so I rarely get to keep anything for myself lol.
I can post pics, later maybe, but not if the thread is gonna get forgotton about, which to be honest, it looks like that has happened already
It's a cat tea cosy that I knitted in pink and white stripes to match the decor of the person I will be giving it too.
I'm just on the sewing and putting it together bit. I really hate the sewing bit! I think I just have a little knitting left to do too.
I either have the knitting bug or I don't. At the moment I don't!
If/when I get round to it, iI'll have to take a picture of the finished project and post it up.
Good luck to you all with projects going!
I'd love to see some of your pictures SoapyJo.
I'm the same when it comes to knitting {I can only knit scarves lol}, but I started a scarf for my Mum in ummm February or March, and I've only done a little bit, I told her it would be ready for her birthday, which is in September, but at this rate, it might be a Christmas pressie lol
I know once I get re-going with it though, it really won't take all that long lol
I'll post some piccies later of my stuff
Got an idea for another one though. Think it will be for me.
That's awesome!

Have lots of little freebie kits finished but I won't bore you with those lol

SoapyJo, I love your candles! I bet your Mum loved the card as well. Am now tempted to have a go myself. Better start now for Xmas or they'd never get done.
Beautiful stuff. Very impressive.
Thank you, it was a difficult one this year as my brother died in January and it didn't seem right to put 'Happy Mother's Day' on it, so I opted for something a bit different and dug out an old freebie kit.
I don't cross-stitch my Christmas cards, I did it two years running, and they just take far too long lol
Thank you! And it's tissue paper
I wish more people on DS were crafters! I love looking at pics of other people's work and to get inspiration from!
Anyways, here is a poppy I made, I am going to turn it in to a ring
A close up here.
And here is what it might look like when it's been turned in to a ring, 'scuse my nasty nails, Imma biter lol and ignore the pin sticking out from underneath, didn't realise it was there 'till after I took the pics.
A heart Christmas tree decoration. It's not perfect but it was my first attempt!
The back.
And a close up.
Doing a Christmas tree one next
