By the way Corinna, I really loved what you called me, tray, I like that. Sounds better than trayi52 or my real name which is Willie.:)

She makes miniature collectable teddy bears, and is very well known all around the world. She has been doing it for about 20 years, and has a big fan following. I have a picture saved on the computer...I just don't really know how to paste it. lol I am so computer-saavy....NOT. But I'll try it
I love to draw, but I wouldn't really consider that "crafty." I have done some sewing and other little crafty things though...whenever my digicam is alive I may take pics. ;)

At least you can sew, I may be able to knit and crochet but give me a sewing machine and it becomes a dangerous weapon. And being able to draw, well that is an art in itself. Lucky you.
I made a dress one time, with a sewing machine, a friend talked me into it, okay I made the dress, after I got done with it, I hid it in the back of the closet, until I finally decided I better get rid of that horrible looking thing, gee what if I died and the family decided to bury me in it? Can't you just see this, I mean laying there and people walking by and laughing at the dress.:confused: :eek: Well anyway, sounds like you have some talent you should share with the rest of us.
Well, her business is called Pam Holton Designs, if that's what you mean.Quote:

I took some pics of just some of my crafty work, though I have A LOT more. I might take pics of the others later, but here's all I'll post for now.
I made this when I was really little, no more than 7 years old. My mom taught me how to do it then, and that was it. I have such an interest in crafty things that I just had to continue doing such things throughout my life. Its so much fun!

This rainbow...............I made this when I was little too. I believe I was 8 at the time. I still have it, up on my wall.

This is the biggest project I've ever done with yarn and plastic canvas. I started this when I was 8 years old, but because I was so young, it was hard for me to keep my mind on it and continue, so sometimes months would pass and I wouldn't even touch it. That's why it took SOOOOO long to complete! I finished when I was 12. It was so much fun to work on. On the inside, it has a bathroom, 2 bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. I didn't take a pic of the inside because the furniture was all messed up and I was too lazy to fix it, but here's the outside of my precious dollhouse.

Finally, this is the cross-stitch I'm working on now. Its not done.......you can see all the empty spots, and I haven't even started the sky yet, but its starting to look like a picture, and you can tell what it is. I really need to take some time out and finish it. Haven't worked on it since August! I just stopped since school started!

Sure! When I'm bored of everything else, I work on stuffed animals. Well..not yet, but I'm working on my first right now!
I went to a craft store, bought some fake furry stuff and glass eyeballs and such. I looked on the internet on how to make one and I've just started. It's HARD to figure out and stitch and what not. I'm only on the front! :)
But yeah, I guess I make stuffed animals. :)
Is cooking a craft? :p
I make homeade dog treats. I'm also working on a dog treat cookbook! :):):)
What a great thread!! I love reading about everyone's great projects/talents! Women are amazing!:)
Val, start saving Duke's fur!:D I'd love to weave you a scarf. We'll need a couple of bags. Let me know what size you'd like and I'll figure out the exact amount! I could also weave you a throw/small blanket. I don't knit, or I'd make him or you a sweater!! Maybe I could spin and Corinna could knit you one!;) Didn't you say on the phone that you are learning knitting too? I could spin as much as you'd like and you could have some yourself for other projects!
Wow, Corinna! 52 Angoras! You must miss them. Your work is so lovely! The sweaters are gorgeous! Is there a spinners guild by you? The women in mine are so amazing. They raise sheep, angoras; they spin, weave, knit, crochet their yarn. We just had our spinners fair on the town green where they demonstrate spinning and sell their goods. And they bring along some sheep and bunnies!:) I've never woven bear!:eek:
Cookiebaker...I have woven with Cody's fur! She's a Husky and her fur is so great to work with and has lovely texture and color! Last project was a sofa blanket!:)
