I do scrapbooking, make beaded jewelry, make gift for friends or family, I made white Christmas wreath from plastic grocery bags and a wire hanger. I also made a green Christmas wreath years ago and it is still used to this day. I make magnetic photo holders using metal ends from frozen juice cans and sticky magnetic strip tape. I have cross stitched in the past as well as have done latch hook pieces. Also hand sew items with fabric from simple wall hangings to ornaments. One year for Christmas I made some fabric heart shaped ornaments for a gift. Also have stitched someone's name into something as a gift, like a pillow case or such. I have stitched someone's intials on fabric pieces I made. Also I know how to draw designs using liquid embrodiery tubes too. I am always creating something. I even painted a tv tray table top with a lighthouse scene the other day. I have even put names on ornaments using glue and glitter, or even made ornaments from simple things like cinnamon, glue and a few other things. You use cookie cutters to make the shaped of the ornaments, similar to salt dough ornaments, but they use ground cinnamon and they continue to smell good. I also have used leaves and paint to stamp on glass jars and then put a gift I made or bought inside it. Like I said I try my hand at everything at some point. I am creative and use what I have on hand too. I have a great niece or nephew going to be born in March of next year. I once taught my daughter to hand sew and we made a fabric doll together for a school project they had to do with their parent's help. Also recently taught my son to sew a button on, as he was adding buttons to a sock puppet he had made for school. My am thinking of learning to crochet too. My Mom can crochet and does that a lot. I can do basic sewing with a sewing machine. As I have a sewed pillow case from an old bed sheet my children didn't use. I make pillows sometimes too. Also I have made key chains and such or necklaces from charms and chain I bought at craft store.
