What kind of crafts does everyone do?
For me, I do knitting & crochet, drawing, coloring, sewing, and have dabbled a bit in scrap booking.

Hiii! I dabble in anything and everything. Currently into digital scrap booking with Project Life, plannering, and making stuff for my kid, I also make wreaths. I love DIY! I'm definitely a Pinterest addict.

I sew mostly, but I also have a silhouette cameo and do stuff with that, and planner stuff.

Crochet mostly. I can also knit and cross stitch. I'd love to learn embroidery and I wish I was a better seamstress.

I knit, crochet and sew. I've also started making beauty products like hair butters and bath bombs.

I crochet, knit, spin fiber into yarn, and I have a bad feeling I'll start dabbling in weaving and possibly tatting. 😂

I mostly sew. If I didn't have problems with my hands I'd still crochet too.

I love to crochet and always have at least 4 to 5 projects going and keep one in my car for any "waiting" times. I finally finished my first knit scarf right before Christmas but it took me forever.
Also a huge fan of Pinterest!

I bake/decorate cakes, cross-stitch, color, and occasionally knit. I really want to get into sewing for cosplay purposes but do not have the space/money/time for that right now.

I do scrapbooking, learning to knit/crochet, a little cake decorating, help H with Halloween costumes-he does the sewing and I do the makeup.

I machine quilt, crochet and am trying to pick up cross stitch but it is so time consuming! I like machine quilting better because of instant gratification.

I've been sewing since childhood but haven't done as much lately. Going to spend my summer off making clothes for kid #2. My main thing the last few years is chain maille jewellery, which I sell at conventions and teach kids to make at school.

I'm a bit of a jane of all arts master of none.. love to try new stuff but mostly I am a papercrafter/card maker. Also like to try work on decor (got a WIP mosaic mirror and sidetable that need to be finished), or whatever strikes my fancy. Would love to be able to sew and hope to learn one day... I tried knitting, crochet and cross-stitch but seem to lack the patience (even though I do have the patience for similarly teenytiny paper crafting stuff heh). Tbh I haven't had a lot of time spare to be creative lately, but hopefully will be able to pick things up cause I miss it.
Eta: I guess I could also add I love photography, gardening (is that a craft lol?) and messing around with project life and planner stuff.

I mostly make quilts, and I nerd out with others in a modern quilt guild.
I also do some clothes sewing, knit, leatherwork, embroidery, weaving, and fabric dyeing/shibori.
Been enjoying peeking at photos of people's handiwork here.

bobyn love it! Thanks for sharing another time. Do you use actual PL stuff for your layouts or pick and choose from all kinds of digital kits? Just curious!

I bought 2 or 3 digital kits in the app and just pick and choose what I want from there. I have a list of others I'd like to buy if/when they go on sale. |

I got the app but only with the free kits, I do have a full PL kit for on the pc. Wish I could use that one in the app too... tho tbh I prefer working on my pics and layouts on the pc.. my phonescreen is too tiny haha. Have you printed any?? |

Yes, I printed the karate page to go in B's scrapbook with the certificates he receives when he tests. The print quality from the app is great. I used to do a physical PL scrapbook, but got so behind during my first surrogate pregnancy. It was a great creative outlet though. |

bobyn I need to find a local printer that does 12x12. Though i have though to maybe just got with a smaller size (10x10 or 8x8) since those are widely available around here as well. Do have to finish enough pages to fill an album first tho haha

I'm making felt embroidery Christmas stockings for people in my family -- my grandmother made one for each new member of the family and she taught me how, so I am continuing the tradition by making them for each new member of my immediate family, and for my cousin's children, my brother's & my godchildren and a few friends that are as close as family as possible. I've made 8 so far and have about 9 more to go, as well as a Christmas Tree skirt & an Advent Calendar for me. I feel a bit like I'm crap compared to everyone else here because I make kits, nothing of my own design, but I really do like them and doing the kits makes me feel closer to my grandmother, as I was the only granddaughter on that side, and the only one she taught to embroider.
I also love coloring, but I prefer Disney coloring books for children over the popular coloring books for adults. I prefer crayons to colored pencils or markers and find adult coloring books are spaced that are too small for crayons -- and why get frustrated with something that should calm me down?

oliversbear - adult coloring books make me super anxious too. I always take forever and worry that I am not picking the right colors because there are so many places to color and then never finish a page. Would rather use a dollar store coloring book with big lines and crayons.

I started out doing crochet, but now mostly do machine quilting and minor sewing projects.
