Sewing, quilting, and decorating, cant pick just one....well decor is not really a craft...but I use my sewing and quilting in my decorating...LOL..

Embossing, knitting, flower arranging, cake decorating, quilting, and anything new. I am one of those that have to try the next new craft to come along! Starting scrapbooking next I believe -- time to do something with all those photos in boxes. Also, going to attempt soapmaking. I would love to learn pergamano and spinning if I can find someone to teach to me.

Knitting, spinning, beadwork, sewing, smocking, basketmaking, drying flowers for potpourri and herbal mothfree, and soon soapmaking . . .

Crocheting, x-stitch, and sewing. Love them all!

Quilting,knitting, collecting used wool clothing to eventually make a braided rug.....everything usually half-finished! But it is relaxing and I do enjoy it! Terran

I am a craft designer and sell my things at craft shows and to shops. I love all crafts! I find that if I make things I find in craft mag. it doesn't sell. I sew, paint on anything I can get my hands on(rocks from my field, old glass christmas balls, river rocks, all sizes of wood, glass jars, ect...), plastic canvas, magnets made with craft foamie and cute things cut from material, wreaths, various things with dried apples, various things made with cinnamon cookies, all kinds of snowmen, all kinds of things with raffia, crocheting, homemade potpourri,garlands, to many things to remember right now. My favorite craft is the newest one I have designed. What I mean is I just love crafting so much that making the same thing over and over again is boring to me. I make a few of everything I design and go to something new with a few exceptions(the things that consistantly sell well). Am usually very busy, but when I get time I want to start sharing some of my designs in this forum so others can make them(and sell if they wish). I am just new to the Countryside website(but I do get the mag.) and just love everything I have learned from others and want to share with others. I would also like to learn how to do new things so would appreciate any ideas you have. I am going to learn how to make rag rugs next. Have been following some of the ideas in this forum and have found several websites. Happy crafting!
