How are you finding it? I really like the look of it but haven't been brave enough to start (or had the time to be honest!)I’ve started creating with resin but like with all cats I’m good at it in my head
I've always been very creative, doing multiple crafts. However, I've recently gone MAD for dried flower art - framed pics mainly. Though I'll be giving most of them away as I've not enough wall space 
I mostly do cross stitch. I usually make birthday cards for people and have done some larger pieces as presents. Current WIP is a massive map of the British Isles with different landmarks on. Will have to put aside in order to make one or two Christmas presents but haven't decided what they will be yet. I'd love to get into designing - I'm seriously going to look into getting some software when/if I get a new computer. I've sketched out basic stuff on graph paper before but would love to be able to convert a photo into a pattern.
I've made hundreds of hexagons with fabric scraps/random fabric that was given to me - just need to actually turn them into a quilt or something!!!
I would like to make most of my own clothes and have certainly got enough of a fabric stash to make a whole new wardrobe but there are two obstacles I'm having a job getting over, 1) I feel I need an overlocker to make the finish as good as I want it to be and 2) it'll be easier when I've lost weight - easier to fit and I won't need to use as much fabric. So far I've only made one pair of pajamas, some scrunchies and a load of masks last year which are languishing in a cupboard. I need to unpick most of them and turn them into something else. And find a way of repurposing the hundreds of metal nose strips I have left.
I like beading esp. Christmas decorations and have a selection of kits to work through to make Angels, icicles, stars etc.
Things I'd like to try are jewellery making (wire wrapped stones specifically), art journalling, painting (probably abstract or acrylic pouring). Also other forms of embroidery like goldwork, stump work etc. I might be about to acquire a dolls house too so will try doing that up.
I love watching resin art being made but am a bit scared of it to have a go myself!

I've been crocheting baby blankets since the clocks went back. Now I just need to wait for people to have babies to gift them!
Went to buy a sun hat with the imminent heatwave in mind and they've taken them off the shelves already 
So I had an idea to make on from a re usable shopping bag
I just did it freehand and it took most of the day and if you don't look to closely.........
Anyway, I'll try it down at the beach today
I'm quite pleased with itmight add the shopping handles to trim at a later date if it holds out

It really is impressive, I would never have thought of that and I'm weirdThanks
I've just spent the last few days building a miniature dolls house kit I bought in a charity shop. I've done a few similar before but this one is huge! I've pretty much finished the structure but really struggling with connecting the electrics! No idea what I'm going to do with it when I'm finished... For a miniature, it's huge!
So clever - and I’m an “animal print is a neutral” kind of girl so it’s right up my street!Thanks
This is amazing, well done!
I made one of these last night and it’s bringing me so much peace. I used lavender hand sanitizing cream, shimmering gold mica powder, and purple and pink crystal sprinkles. I ended up needing to double bag it. contemplating what to put in the next one already 
Did you make your frame cover thing? Not sure what it's proper name is. I could do with some of those myself.
The grime guard?
I would love to make them myself, and I have a sewing machine, but I'm too lazy! And not sure I'm good enough.
I got it from ebay
Oh, OK, thanks! I know what to search for now anyway!The grime guard?

Didn’t realise there was a craft thread, I made my own a few months ago but forgot about it 
So many talented tattlers! I started embroidery this year, my first project was my old converse then I started on the yellow ones which I’ve not finished yet.
I tried crocheting as I’ve seen some gorgeous things on Pinterest but I just cannot get the hang of it. I’ve asked my mum if she will teach me to knit, my closest friend is having a baby early next year and I’d love to be able to make a blanket or something for them.
I also want to try making a resin key ring with flowers from my sisters funeral but need to do more research as don’t want to mess up and ruin them.

I am trying to transition from cross stich to embroidery to be able to do exactly this! So I'm very impressed
I love your converse! So pretty...Didn’t realise there was a craft thread, I made my own a few months ago but forgot about it

I knit and crochet but crochet is much easier. YouTube is great for tutorials. Blossom Crochet is fab. I make baby blankets. Its so relaxing.
Ooooh I LOVE the converse! I would love to try something like that but as my embroidery skills are basic at best, I'd have to practice on some old Primark ones instead!
