When it comes to crafting, I have this habit of saying "Oh I can do that" and I buy the supplies and have a go, sometimes it becomes a passion and sometimes it ends up in the trash. But for the most part I try my hand at anything. For the past couple of years I have been making the No Sew Fleece Blankets, love making them, although crawling around the floor on my hands and knees is hard (I am not getting any younger!) I love working with the fleece fabric. From making the blankets I branched out and made pillows and ponchos, all 3 have been a great success.
My new craft is handmade recipe books, made from card, paper, scrap book paper, embellishments and ribbon. I saw these at a craft show last year, and the lady was selling these for $8 with 6 recipe, yes the words "Oh I can do that" came out of my mouth, so I set to coming up with my own spin on them. Surprisingly I had all the supplies in my craft boxes, and they were fairly easy to make. It has been fun coming up with different sets of recipes and designs. I have even branched out into making them as wedding favors and baby shower gifts/favors.
