Hobbies and Crafts

Thanks Ann, I'll have a look now.

love, Sallie.xx

Anyone who wants to see a photo of Joyce (Dutch) with her flowers, it is on the photo blog.

Moonbi, I would love to see a photo of your finished cards when you have finished them. I like to collect anything to do with craft, love to be let loose in a craft shop.

hi Ann
I found you all

Searched topic and it just spun out of control.
So went page by page through, and found you on page 3 of the topics and page 91 now.
I am a card maker, and have been for about 3 years. I love to collect different papers, and punches and ribbons.
Most recently I have been asked to design 3 versions of wedding invitation in red, black and white.
Going well so far and hope to show the lady in about a week when she comes over.

Just added some cards from Jean to the craft blog.

Welcome Kay, lovely to have two new people posting. I love the sound of your waistcoat. Please keep posting on here and keep us up to date with your projects I suppose gardening is a craft too. I also love that.

I think your thread is fascinating with so many clever people. If someone could send me a link your blog I would be grateful.

I also do some cross stitch, mainly fine stitch of animals but did make a waistcoat using silk thread some years ago. I used to paint on silk and made most of my Christmas cards this way for years. Is anyone else interested in this? I used to be a member of the Silk Painters Guild but let it lapse a few years ago.

I am starting part time working and looking to get back to it in the winter months with the garden occupyng most of the summer.

Thank you for the nice welcome.
It amazes me that I can still do cross stitch and embroidery, as sometimes I have trouble holding the needles. Manipulating the computer mouse is becoming a problem as well, so I was advised to buy a Wacom tablet for photoshop work. Of course,I haven't used it - its still in its box after 3 years. naughty me.
I really admire the craft of "sticking tiny bits of paper together to make beautiful designs". That is way beyond my cordination skills. My sister does it, but is prevented by cataracts at the moment.
OH says I tend to forget all the things I can do, so I'll add that I have a knitmaster machine, , and have done a good bit of knitting over the years. So why don't I get on with something???

That's enough about me. I'll try to get on to the blog and look at your masterpieces.

Ann I will get Debra to put the pics on and send them to you for the blog...your photo blog is great with all your new pics on...

Welcome to the thread Carol, from another Carole. I also make cards but don't do scrapbooks as yet, I love making cards and there are some beautiful ones on Anns thread. I don't do cross stitch but have done a picture of Whitby Abbey in the sunset in needlepoint, I have the head of a tiger half done but have lost my co-ordination now and find it so hard to do. All I can do now is cardmaking and really enjoy it.

Welcome Georgina (or is it Carol?) You are certainly a crafter and we'd love to hear a bit more about your projects as you go along. I am so pleased that you felt you could post on here. I am mainly into cardmaking, scrapbooking and photography, but I have never managed to master photoshop. well I don't have it on this pc. Can't afford it. I use picasa and I do also have Corel but not really 'attacked' that one yet. I have done cross stitch in the past but found it too tiring on my eyes. My daughter used to do a lot of it and has some beautiful cross stitch pictures framed. Many years ago I used to make clothes but haven't done that for years. We have a scrap and card blog where you can see the cards and scrap book pages people have done. If you want to look at it PM me for the address.

And again welcome.
