    I do some crafts but not quilting or sewing. I crochet a lot and just learned knitting. I do make my own cards. You can see them here:

    I've seen that quilt you did. It was gorgeous! I also saw that painting thing you did. Was that done on the computer? I also scrapbook a little. You have a lot of talent.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Can I choose A. all of the above?

    I love doing arts and crafts.

    I've done crocheting, pottery, sculpting, ceramics, sewing projects, latchhook, etc.

    I draw & take photographs every day. Those are my two passions.

    I also scrapbook, do computer graphics of all sorts, paint, make jewelery quite frequently.

    Unfortunately, time is short and I don't have much time to do much of anything lately. I draw EVERY night but rarely show my drawings to others, just something nice I keep for myself. I don't think anyone else would understand half of my drawings anyways.

    I just started to crochet, it's hard though, cause I'm left handed, and no one can teach me. The books are too hard for me to understand, I need someone to show me. I wish I could learn how to do more stuff though.

    I do beadwork and make jewellery.

    This is a bad pic of one of my amulet bags. I kept this one for myself!

    And one of my watches. I think my sister has this one.

    I also make concrete stepping stones, but lately I've only made them for my bridge critters.

    I should do some happier ones somtime again.
