I'll take her, KimD, if she'll get my quilt done!!!LOL I can handle the mouthy part - she'll fit in with my DD!!!
2008 Holiday Crafting
- Thread starter KimD
- Start date
I would take her too. My kids are 20 and 23 so a 12 yr. would be okay!!! She could teach me to quilt!!!!!!!!!!!
Lana and momof4 I'll send her to you if her mouth doesn't stop shes not going to make it to 13 next month.
Holiday Joy- The looms are very easy to work with that is what I use since I have never been able to get crocheting or knitting down at all. Once you get the hang of them they are very fast to use also. I have tried the fleece scarves and just can't get them to turn out the way everyone elses do I don't understand what I am doing wrong
Just updating my list since I have a couple of things done. I also want to keep track of my crafting hours for this year. I just want to see how long it really does take me in a year to get everything done.

Oh, my goodness!
You all are just too organized and do just more that I can even think of!
If I wasn't at work (school counselor) 10 hours of the day I would be SO happy just crafting all day! I craft every evening after house chores and then all day on weekends!
Confession time - I got a NEW sewing machine for Christmas and it is STILL in the box!
I have many ideas for Christmas crafts and you all have given me more...Happy, happy, Joy joy! I LOVE CRAFTING! :jumpinghearts:

Campncook and Holiday_Chatter, my dear Mom bought a serger 12 years ago. I have it now. Neither of us has EVER used it!! It still has the test fabric scrap under the presser foot.
But, I just ordered a manual for it yesterday, and I'm signed up to take a beginner's class on the 20th. . .!
