SORRY IN ADVANCE THE PICS ARE SO BIG

[elliott_gyal]

okay here are a few more pics lol again, super sorry about the massive size

[Natalka]

elliott gyal - those are great! And your pics here, and on other thread, are coming out at just the right size, so don't worry about that.
What other type of painting do you do?

[Natalka]

Lol, I think we posted at the same time! My question answered!
VERY nice! I like the different characters with the dolls! Is Etsy in your future?

[elliott_gyal]

I dont really know a whole lot about etsy.. then again, i never really checked it out. I have heard that you have to pay to post stuff though dont you? I dont really have the money to post things

I can knit, do macrame, crochet, but by far I prefer to "fabricate" something from other things like scraps and bits and pieces. I can't think of anything off hand that I have done that I have a pic of. Its mostly like, when you are trying to do something but you don't have quite the right "thing" for it...I like to attempt to make the "thing".

I bought the stuff to make a self contained coupon organizer last week, I bought a binder, vinyl for covering (making a "case" for the binder) material to create pockets on the inside of the binder, dividers, etc. I may make it next week I may pull out the stuff in a year...who knows

but when I start something I like to keep going until its done, I can't do a bit today and a bit tomorrow its a compulsive thing I know. I am the same when reading a book!

Im not the same with books, but when it comes to crafting, I do the same! lol

[gourmetsue]

I'm a craftin' geek! Paper, scissor, Rock! I'm big into mini albums, digital crafting (cards and scrapbook pages), card making..the list goes on and on. In fact a good portion of my dining room is actually my craft area..thank goodness for patient husbands

[lekate]

I feel inspired to knit again now! haha! I'mma go find my knitting stuff!

[tidytaurus]

Wow so many talented people on here. I have just been invited to a craft show here so maybe by April, I will have enough stuff but I have to think spring and summer hmmm. I need inspiration because when I look outside I see snow and think mittens and hats. LOL

[Natalka]

For spring/summer - dainty shawls, shrugs, purses/bags of all sizes, lightweight skinny scarves, baby cardigans...

Sigh....another trip to Michael's today and MORE beads!! But suddenly I wanted shades of soft blues, seafoam greens...and a couple of sterling silver clasps. So I bought 'em all! And then some!
Tomorrow I shall make up a couple of necklaces and perhaps a bracelet for DD. She loves my jewellry because it's so different....I hope I can keep a piece or two, too!
Wish me luck!

Natalka...I literally STALK those sites! LOL!! Check out Ravelry.com, too! OMG...I just knitted Jack another hat from Ravelry to match his snow-suit because since September, he's grown out of his helmet-style one....I also knit those really fluffy mittens for Christmas and love doing that! So why on earth don't I have a pair??!!
