Woo! I'm done with skool for the semester...so that means, when I'm not working one of my two jobs, I can get my craft on!

Anybody working on anything nifty? Nexxus23 has some sort of socks in the workin's I know...


How are your gardens?

Make anything nifty lately? Got any neat-o crafty ideas to share?

I've been thinking of doing some flower pressing lately...Flower presses can be easily made out of a couple pieces of wood and some screws and wingnuts.

I still need to learn some mad knittin' and sewin' skillz...

Ok..this was random...just thought I'd get some discussion goin on in here...

Hon, I haven't been able to get much of anything on for the last month and a half......really hoping things will return to normal, so to speak, soon.....I'm still working on the afghan for my mom that was supposed to be for Mother's Day.....I think it's gonna be late.

My lavender at my mom's house is blooming, and I have ant bites on my leg. They are actually related events.

Bear and I are making new clothes for the warmer months of Snacktus.

Ditto that.

I have, however, managed to fertilize and water my kids semi-regularly.

Latest endeavor: Temari ball (Japanese)

I always have something going. Right now I have several bead jewelry projects in the works. I also have a crossstitch picture, a knitted chenille scarf, wooden boxes to paint, and some sewing to finish. Of course, now that I am done with school, I can unpack and actually finish something. Hopefully, anyway.
Speaking of which, if anyone wants to do some craft type thing, I almost always have excess suplies. Anyway, just saying hello.

I don't know if this really counts, since i'm a craftsperson for a living, but here's some pix of what i've been working on lately:

errr I was hoping on a goth board my absolute lazziness wouldnt be so apparent.

Hmmm...I sure wish we could do a monthly gothy "craft type thing". We could even include cooking lessons or something...

Like, a few of us could get a list of projects, see who's interested, and gather supplies...maybe we could alternate having it at different peoples houses...

Of course, we'd probaby have to do just little introductory things, and the projects could be then taken home and finished there.

Whaddaya think?

:D I like it!! My place is always open.

I love the idea! I'm from Atlanta, and we always had weekly gatherings....we had collage night, art/craft night, bellydancing night, yoga night, and around xmas we always got together to make some of our gifts. I'm all about it!

Count me in =)

Sounds like a good idea. I can teach knitting basics if you like.
Disclaimer: I knit... weird. The old ladies at the yarn store told me so.

Hey that's cool! Wish I could quilt...

>>Nex mumbles something about not being allowed scissors and shambles away...

I have been sewing up a storm, you name it I am doing it, cross stitch/quilted rock for my brother's wedding gift, bridesmaid dress, matching mother daughter dresses (for gwynn and me), satin shirt for Jeremy just cause I felt like it, and I have been craving an excuse to make a few formals (found some great patterns, and have wonderful fabric, just no motivation) anyone have any ideas?

I'm working on making storage shelving for my apartment. "Editing" some clothes I already have to make them neater. I am working on a skirt for spanktus. I am cutting squares for the quilt im making for my bed. I have some ribbons that Im using in every POSSIBLE craft (even boot laces!)

I'm also working on making my balcony a nice comfy private lil spot. ;o)
