Chit Chat

Hi all! I wanted to take a minute to tell you about my 2017 project, for which I'd like to get lots of people involved! The deal is, over the year I'll produce 50 pieces of art about my cat (my fella got me a drawing pad for Christmas, this is my motivation to practice). One a...

I have been making hand-sewn totes for lack of a better term with all different types of machine embroidery on them. Also mug rugs, cosmetic bags, cell phone holders, etc. I also do some painting and card making. I am trying to get a business started and need a good catchy...

I'm 15 and from Texas. I own my own boutique and I love photography and crafting, of course! Looking forward to meeting people in my area or anywhere else!

I am in the process of moving and I want a craft space in the new place. We are downsizing from a 2BR to a 1BR with a very small den. My husband wants his computer station and I don't know if we can fit both in the den. So I am thinking about putting mine in a nook (very tiny)...

How do you organize the things you buy for your favorite craft? Share your ideas and pictures if you'd like. I would love to have some inspiration. I am limited on space for my hobbies and was happy when I found a couple of really cool wire baskets at the store the other day...

What is the one thing you would buy if you could? As i love photography and printmaking, i would love to buy a printing press and a really decent camera

So what is your pets annoying habit that drives you up the wall? For my budgie DeeDee, at the moment likes to pick her water pot up and slam it down to get my attention. . . . . Water everywhere!!!

I've heard a lot of my crafting friends say they've been in a creative rut lately and don't feel like making anything. What do you do to get yourself out of a rut?

How did you get started at what you love to create? Have you always created? Did you take a class? See a picture of a project that inspired you to make it? Need something to do in your free time? I've always done some type of crafts as I grew up. I loved art in school. I had...

Are you making any resolutions this year? I really want to keep my blog up-to-date, stay on top of my email and generally be more organized.

Now that all of the gifts have been opened, what fun new things did you receive? Some new yarn? New jewelry making items? New tools to cook up some great recipes? Something else? Let's chat about what fun new things we will have to play with in the new year.

Hi everyone! I am back! Some of you oldies on the site will know me as Rawr.Rawr.x, but I have decided to change my username so that it's the same on all of my social sites I will be posting on here occasionally, as I have lots of my creations to share with you!

Do you have everything done? Just starting? Not planning on doing anything? I am ahead this year which is very unusual for me. The only things I have left are to bake the cookies, make 3 parents gifts and do a couple of last minute cards. The parents gifts have me stumped this...

I'm in Bristol for the week on a last minute trip while Tom does some work. Any suggestions for fun things I should do / check out to keep me busy?

Once everyone gets past the holidays, what is on your "to do" or "want to do" list for projects?

I thought it would be nice to start a topic on monthly favorites. so what's your favorites! mine have to be a sticker maker I got and it has changed my life!

I have heard a lot of my friends mentioning lately that they have lost their crafting mojo. What do you do to get it back?

What is something that you really had fun doing? It could be a project, a trip or anything you'd like to share. Tell us your story behind the fun.

What do you listen to when you craft? Today my cat turned on the Weeds soundtrack. Lol. I'm kind of digging the Flogging Molly song. I often get stuck on songs and listen to them on repeat. Usually I just craft to the TV. Sometimes my head is loud enough. Haha. (I've been...

I started galaxy shoes and, of course, they didn't look like the tutorial. I persevered but I felt like giving up. I think I kind of like how the first shoe turned out. Working on the second shoe now. Sometimes I embrace it, sometimes I get frustrated and come back to it...

I am making lemon bars (they are cooling), I finished one galaxy shoe, and earlier today I made apple cheese biscuits. Yesterday I made Arizona skillet and it made a ton! I accidentally put too much macaroni and corn in it. Still tasty, though, and who doesn't love leftovers?

What month were you born in? Do you celebrate the day?

There are so many different types of challenges. Color challenges, design challenges, specific themes just to name a few. What kind do you find yourself drawn to participate in?

What are you doing? Anything creative? Share with us what you've made. We'd love to see it!

What is everyone up to this weekend? I went to a rock and gem show this morning and picked up a few strands of beads and a couple of rocks to enjoy on my work table. That was the fun part of my day. The rest of the day was getting groceries and running errands. A new JoAnn's...
