Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 <Amy do you have a picture of your craft work?> Mostly just greeting cards that I have rubber stamped or dry embossed. I have a few pictures of some felted fish I have knit, they are very whimisical and fun. I've made a dozen or so Christmas stockings, mostly cross stitch but now knit stockings as well. I'll have to take a picture of them. I'll try and post some when I find the CDs. (can we make photo folders of our own on this list?) I used to sew a lot, I made all the curtains in the house, pillows, clothes. I used to sew a lot of clothes for my oldest daughter but then she got an opinion of what she would and would not wear. When I had to dress professionally I made a lot of dresses, pants, and business suits for work. (this was back when you could save money sewing your own clothes, jeez was that only 20 years ago?) Hope I didn't put anyone to sleep..... AmyF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use remants or stuff left over. I like knits or soft cotton, flannel, etc. Sometimes I make gift baskets (the resale shop is a good source for baskets) with a hand knit washrag, homemade apple butter or mincemeat, candles, stuff like that.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I am also a stamping addict I make all my own cards, but now I'm thinking about doing those rice bags, I think they'd be great for co-worker gifts! Do you just get bags & tie them w/ a pretty tag & ribbobn? I do a lot of scrapbooking and card / tag making..but I can't sew to save my LIFE! LOL I can't even sew a button. When I lose a button on a button down shirt, I remove all the buttons & " layer " hahaha!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I don't sew either & I have seen the rice bags made of cotton tube socks with a knot in one end (no sewing necessary ) Peace, Diane , Whitney <wskater wrote: > > I am also a stamping addict I make all my own cards, but now I'm thinking about doing those rice bags, I think they'd be great for co-worker gifts!

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I do sew; but sadly, this is how I make them, too (a knotted sock). Not as gifts, though, just my own use. They are wonderful!
