Are you working on any crafts?

[Erin]

What crafts is everyone working on currently?

I'm a bit in between crafts. I've started collecting patterns for purses so I can sew myself a bunch of cute purses. And I also have plans to sew curtains for the new place.

[littleurban]

I want to start getting into crafts now so if anybody has any ideas and what not feel free to share! I need something to keep my mind occupied!

[ReginaCherie]

im going to beg my aunt and dad to help me make curtains for the whole 4 windows in my house and im hoping for a head bored too.

[Meredith]

My mom is going to teach me how to sew when I move home!! I have a whole bunch planned for when I move home....nothing right now tho :(

[Erin]

I decided today that I am going to make a headboard for my bed using canvas boards with fabric stapled on...like they do on HGTV all the time lol.

[Lana]

Man...you guys are way more creative than I could ever hope to be. I can barely draw a flower much less make a headboard lol. I am going to try and start on our wedding scrap book just to have something to do... but other than that I don't have any good ideas. If anyone has any good decorative ideas for new houses - pass them my way!

[Lana]

I really like the green one, that's a neat idea!

[Spahr]

I just bought lumber to make myself a 3 tier shelf for my plants. It's going to take up 3 windows in my kitchen. :) And then I have to make a shelf/ledge for my mom's porch windows like I did when I lived in the apartment downstairs.

[ashandbrons]

Erin that is such a good idea! You will have to take pictures when you are done!!!

[Ameranne]

ok so I am starting a project that might never get done in time but my husband and I bought a bassinet at a rummage sale and it is pretty warn so... since we are doing the room in winnie the pooh i am taking all the fabric off and recovering it with pooh!

[MrsJoey]

after hubs left in february i threw myself into our wedding scrapbook..finished it in oh...about a week haha. im lame. i still have some small things todo on it but for the most part its done. i wanted to learn how to crochet but never did :( so no crafts goin on for me at the moment. but this thread has me itchin todo somethin so i may steal one of yalls ideas!

[snwalways41903]

im not really crafty haha but im working on getting my flower beds cleaned out so i can plant some flowers, ive got some decorative stone borders to put around, so im really excited, and i just bought some spray paint so i can repaint my outside chairs, nothing fancy just black! we have a big wooden shelf that william made in highschool woodshop, im getting cherry wood finish and gonna stain it probably in the next couple of weekends!

[Kristi Rae]

at the moment i am trying to finish knitting a patch work lap blanket for another group that sends packages this blanket will go to a Vet that is in a hospital not sure which hospital but I should work on finishing the blanket first!
The next one would be a full blanket(s) to be sent to our deployed military for the winter holidays. Which will be easier since I can use fleece and do no sew! The goal is to make enough blankets to give to everyone who is on a deployment that is a big goal.

[Spahr]

I'm making baby legs and hair bows! I also have the stuff to make a diaper wipe case cover but have not started on that yet. Also ribbon purses.... I think becoming a mommy has made me crafty lol

[Erin]

How are you making your baby legs Spahr?

I have some ribbed knit fabric and some regular knit fabric and I was thinking of making some from scratch. But I don't know if that would be super complicated or not...

[Lindsey Elizabeth]

hmm...well i used to be crafty, seems right now not much, i have some watercolor pencils ve been usng to try and desgn my won wedding invitation, but they feel pretty cheesy right now, so im still trying to come up wth better idea's, will post a pic later when i have the idea completed...

[Meredith]
