Molly's Wooden Table!
 

*hopes to find crafty people*

Is anyone doing a craft for Christmas gifts? I am doing stocking hats and am tired of them lol! I have about 50+ to make total and am getting wiped out...

:x3: I love crafts! Crochet and sewing are my top, but I also love drawing and colouring in ^_^ and cross-stitch.

I'm not making any gifts this year, but I made my own Christmas tags, and I made a Christmas Bunting to hang around the house too :loved: the previous year I crocheted some Christmas trees and stars. And just recently I crocheted my two good friends baby blankets for their newborns. Also, I used to love making bears :P

Oh I bet you are Liz :whaa: 50!?

I've done some crafting for Christmas! :D I cross-stitch, and I made four Christmas coasters (one for me and the others as presents), a couple bookmarks, and a motivational picture for my brother. ^_^ I made an ornament for the tree as well, though that wasn't a gift. I plan to make three more ornaments in the future as well as six stockings. Those will take a while.

I want to learn how to crochet like Jess. :x3:

Also idk how you can make over 50 Liz. Go you! :whaa:

My top ones are beading and photography lol. I got into the round knitting, and am going to try a blanket thing I got too next. I switch them up though, as there's tons of patterns online and I've even created a few of my own making these. I'm at like....26-27 right now. Long way to go but there's only a few due by Christmas, the rest aren't due to January :woot: lol

I knit and crochet with needles and hooks too but my projects don't turn out so pretty :x3: I miss stitches or count too many and stuff, so it's easier for me to use the round hoops. Once I finish with the hats, I have 2 hats I want to try and make. One is a witches hat and the other a cowboy hat. Both knitted with the round hoops!

I also do a ton of other crafts too! I love doing cross stitch, that was one I did years ago, for everyone too. I also made plastic canvas tissue box covers in the shapes of rocking horses and carriages.

I'm just now getting into painting with a palette knife. My photography instructor invited me to one of her classes she teaches, and I fell in love with it lol!

I have a few things I need to put up in the DOP crafts! That is on my agenda tomorrow or Tuesday now that crazy Christmas is over!! :)


I want to learn to sew! I can't even sew a stupid button on pants. I'm a horrible excuse for a mom! :lol:

Whit's made with love things are beautiful :loved: come here and I'll teach you! OR YouTube a lady named BellaCoco. I learned a lot of my crochet skills from her.

That's good to hear Liz! I can't knit at all, I feel so uncoordinated doing it, but I love the tightness of a knitted thing. OH a Loom hoop? Those are so great! I love learning new skills.

Ali, there are LOADS of tutorials on YouTube. Hand sewing etc. You can start with a button and work your way up :D My mum made a lot of my clothes as a child, likethis Witch costume for book week when I was 5 lol. The hat was so big. And my nana was a quilter, so I inherited a lot of her equipment. I learned at a young age, but forgot most of it. I'm going to go and do a sewing class sometime in January to help with fitting clothing and things too. But YouTube is my go-to for help, usually.

Awwww you're not a horrible excuse for not sewing lol! I like to sew but am not all that great at it. When my youngest daughter was born I wanted to make her a fleece snowsuit. Well...I did sort of, and maybe an inch was by machine? But the remainder was done by hand. I want to get into quilting though so maybe I'll learn more lol!

I love the hoop, because there's so many options for it. It can be as tight or loose as you want it. When I use needles I just seem to take forever and in the end just drop the project and sometimes come back to it later if kitty doesn't find it first.... Crochet I like too but it's the same for me. I run into it taking longer, missing counts and stuff, so it just ends up being a frustration.

So I'm getting into Stranger Things on Netflix, and in good binge tradition I had to start a crafty project. I'm doing another ripple blanket, sort of a crimson and a navy.

Do you guys all craft whilst you binge too? :P

I totally do lol! I sit and bead or knit when watching films!

I need to find my beads :lol: I packed them for class last semester and now can't remember where I'd put them :x3:

I'm hoping to do some House medallions!

Crikey it's been so long since I've been in here :(

*showers Liz in sequins and soft craft things*

Anyone have any Christmas projects they\'ve started or planning on? I want to do a Christmas cross stitch! Etsy have some really cute ones that are pdfs, which is great because $0 postage haha.

*squidges Jess*

I\'m working on some projects but have one in mind. Nothing like being drowned in hats like last year though :lmao:

Hey lovelies!

So I\'ve been wondering if people would rather we went back to this route here where everyone just posted their craft projects right in the thread? I don't know that anyone really is doing the craft challenges now, and feel that maybe we had way more activity when it was all in the thread.

What's everyone's thoughts?
