How crafty are you??

[avoncallingu]

Good luck, @saundyl . My mother used to organize craft sales. I found that those craters who engaged people in conversation and showed an interest in their customers did really well. My mother wasn't the most talented crafter but she would do well because she really was a "people person." I'm sure you will do fine! Good for you for taking that step!

Finally! I was having issues trying to post the photo of my project.

As usual I had to go to the computer experts here ( young people!! ) ha ha
I placed the finished item in my scanner and I am blown away at how much it resembles the photo from the instruction grid that I worked from.
( yeah, I know it should but I always doubt my own handiwork )

Anyhow I was diligent and worked on this almost daily until I got it finished.
He is now housed in a fancy frame under glass and sits on top of my cherry wood tea cart.

@walkonby I just took a look at your master piece and it is gorgeous. You are correct it needs to be a show piece

I was sent this article and just had to share!
The artist ( crochet enthusiast extraordinaire! ) captured the features of her neighbours in life sized projects.
At first it looked a little creepy to me but standing next to their counterparts you can't help but be impressed.

I will apologize now for the crappy ( kind of ) picture that I snapped of my finished cross stitch. The flash always interferes with the glass and this digital camera is still ALL Greek to me....ugh!

But for the most part you can see the work. The adhesive mounting board was delivered by Purolater on Sunday, so I got it all pressed down and snugged in. I'm pretty pleased with the final work.
Oh yeah and that other picture was just a reorganizing I did of the spice rack....many had to be dumped as they were 3 yrs old or longer, ha ha .
I thought placing white copy paper inside each bottle would help create a background so the words of each spice on the sticky labels could be read easier.......I was right!

resurrecting such an old thread, but it makes sense since it has been YEARS since I have had to crochet a pair of High Top Baby Bootie Sneakers for an expectant Mom.
( recipient is a neighbour....I am so giddy for the parents! )
Precious new life on the street, that is what we need here.




Oh and I only finished one of them as I was watching our Blue Jays win the first of the double header against Boston.
Game 2 is at 7..... ( 7 innings each, short and sweet! )

[walkonby]

Finished!!

The pair is now complete.

Sadly I am not crafty at all but I guess somedays I will..

Why have I not visited this thread in such a long time? Nevermind, I likely just forgot about it....not an unusual state of mind lately...

Love seeing everyone's projects!!!
