I like the craft work you did for your daughter, the knitted hat (the one with the hole for the ponytail),that was absolutely original and could be the next fad! Very innovative and creative.

ReplyDeleteplutomeisje[at]gmail[dot]com
I love any craft that involves working with paper.
ReplyDeleteI love lots of crafts, maybe because I trained as an art´s and crafts teacher. But my very favorite is probably sewing costumes for theatre. It´s the one place where limitless imagination is really favored! Where one can exaggerate in shape, color, materials, mood and character. It´s just pure fun! :-)
ReplyDeletesewing, sewing, sewing! and a little bit of crochet.
ReplyDeleteknitting. and see what craft people do!!!

I love sewing the most right now, especially making things as adorable as possible. Though last month it was crochet. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite craft is making birthday cards! I can get really extravagant. I pull out the card stock, special paper, magazine cutouts, stickers, markers, and glitter-glue for birthday cards. They're always covered in extravagant craziness and contain messages written in coloured pen. I'm sure most of the recipients think they're too over-the-top, but I hope they enjoy receive them, too! ♥
