I'm also into quilting and all sorts of crafty stuff - other sewing and scrapbooking, but I can't seem to do the whole wreath/home dec stuff very well. No pic on this computer though.
I love the wreath too! Can you post instructions on how you made it and how much of what materials you needed?stargurl78|1352216326|3299843 said:OneFifty|1352216051|3299839 said:That wreath is amazing. I need you to make one for my house!

Thank you, the wreath was a fun project! I'm hoping to do a Christmas one next.
The only sewing I can do is straight lines I've made 3 quilts, a few throw pillows, and some table runners and I'm going to be making some curtains soon. You'll have to share some pics of your projects!

I have just started up a new hobby and am not ready to display the results yet....hahaha I've taken up acrylic painting and have done four paintings, but they look VERY novice-like. Too embarrassing to post. Maybe someone else here paints? I am going to have to go back and get better brushes as the brushes shedded a lot so I have to determine which brand is good, yet not not super expensive since I already spent a bunch on defective brushes!

Hope that helps!

Oh, you're one of those "I just see it in my mind's eye, I'll just whip it up in a jiffy" folks, eh?!!

I am always impressed with quilters!! Such detail! Very cute quilts!!stargurl78 said:I also made this Detroit Tigers quilt for my nephew when he was born 2 years ago. His room had a baseball theme and his parents are huge Tigers fans so I thought it was appropriate!

I have made 2 very simple paintings before, I can post some pics later in the week. But they are VERY novice, just painted canvas with some circles on them. Post yours, I'm sure they look great!!!
Very nice workjunebug17 said:Wow, I'm loving all these crafts! Very creative, and so pretty!
I do decorative painting, basically I just take plain or unfinished pieces and try to jazz them up a little lol. Not technically a craft, but since painting came up I thought it would be ok to post a few of my pieces.
Why thank you!MichelleCarmen said:Elisateach|1352242734|3300142 said:Thank you for the compliments! Here are a few more. Christmas is next.. Ornaments and glass block
Elisateach - I love your pumpkins, especially the orange one with the little bumps on it. What did you use for that one?
You've enspired me to get some materials to make some ornaments this year! My boys are each given a couple of ornaments every year and it'd be nice to do something different than buy more from World Market!

The bumpy pumpkin was painted copper and then I just glued on( watch that hot glue) in rows those gem rocks you can get at Michaels. I did a vase like that too and painted it black as a centerpiece for a Halloween table.
