Great thread! I am glad I came across it, it's been enjoyable seeing the lovely crafts and hear about all your talents. I wish Lynn's pics weren't broken for me....I love sparkly things. And I loved the link to the lady that makes crochet characters! So cute and fun!
I did custom auto upholstery for a few years but sold my industrial machine last year. I was packing it from home to home and never using it and they are big and heavy. So I have given that up. My regular sewing machine is also in storage but I am thinking about making a Halloween costume and some curtains for our camping trailer. So, I might get it out soon and tune it up. I also liked repainting embellishing furniture but in a condo there isn't much room for that any more. I like all kinds of crafts and use to do a lot of it....but now I never seem to find the time.
Will see if I can find any of my goodies as I fall clean and purge and share some pics.Opening a fee-free Tangerine account using my Orange key: 43034602S1 You will receive a $50 bonus from Tangerine.

I'm posting this in both this and the Christmas threads because I thought it was such a uniqueand terribly EASY idea for napkin "rings"...which aren't really napkin rings! I can see this using beautiful paper, coordinated with your table colours...anyway...I thought I'd pass it along..

Oh! Nice. Carlton's card has beautiful single sheet wrapping paper that I always want but never allowed myself to buy til I had a project for it.
Lots of shiny and some flocked designs.Opening a fee-free Tangerine account using my Orange key: 43034602S1 You will receive a $50 bonus from Tangerine. Get another $25 bonus when opening a Savings account and making automatic deposits for 6 months AND get another $25 from me! PM me for details.

Wow. Someone sure was thinking when she realized she could con people in to buying this!!! $60.86!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh! It has STRING, too!!! It's on Etsy....

Head over to Boutique VV or some similar store (or your kids' closets?) and cut the sleeves off worn out or too-small sweaters...so cute!
I've also seen them used as take-out coffee cup holders!

well NOT crafty really but I am cheap! I bought a long ( down to my knees ) winter coat with a lovely fur-ish trimmed hood ( quite heavy ) from the Thrift Store for $14.99..... but after wearing a few times I could tell I'd be putting in a new separating zipper. Paid 1/3 the cost of the coat for that new zipper! ( ugh FabricLand!! ) But so much better! No more problems of it splitting from the bottom up. I swear my sewing machine said " hey stranger where ya been ? "

I've been working on my Halloween costume for the last few nights. It's the first time I have gotten crafty in ages and I am enjoying it. I will post pictures soon. I did the head piece last night and should have the dress and embellishments finished or close to it tonight.

I am really pleased with how this turned out! It was just a hair band and red roses that I wove through the headband. Then I painted the smaller ones for some contrast and added dollar store skulls. I am going as a Day of the Dead character.

Thank you! It's just what I pictured in my head, so happy it turned out.
This is the base of my costume, there's a sash and more roses. I need to find skeleton tights and some jewelry. And will paint my face sugar skull style. And the gorgeous purse I found below to go with it.
