What does your craft space look like?
My sewing desk is pretty messy...ever so often I clean it up nice and proper and within 2 days it looks like a blind chicken made her nest on it. When I use polymer clay I mostly just work on my bed (which is never a good idea...I will probably end up looking like Quasimodo in about ten years)
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
I love to use fun prints when I sew... I use a lot of fabric from Michael Miller's collection. Those are usually just regular quilting weight cotton, but recently I've been leaning more towards rayon.
What do you craft along to?
I listen to a lot of Carla Bruni when I'm sewing and Jonsi when I'm painting. If it's nighttime I love to put on my boy Louis Armstrong and some Nat King Cole and Dean Martin.

Favorite Craft
I love to sew, and my favourite things to make are princessy dresses. I love to draw and paint as well, but I don't think that qualifies as a craft :p

If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
WOODWORK!! I NEED to learn woodwork...except I'm majorly clumsy and I'm afraid for the life of my fingers...they're pretty damaged as is :(
Who are your crafting heroes?
Crafting heroes....I don't think I have any. I have favourite artists though, if that works. Alphonse Mucha and John William Waterhouse.
Maribug's Favorite Projects
1. Cheese - because I could probably ingest 200 of them and still want more. 2 Polymer Clay Sculpture Tutorial - this helped me out when i just started sculpting (still a n00b but getting there!). 3 Outrage Chocolate Cookies - i've never made these but i always wanted to...every time i look at that picture my mouth turns into a swimming pool.
And finally...
