Crafting Thread!

[Chitoshi]

Hi everyone.

I didn't see a crafting thread so I wanted to make one. I just finished a 6 Day Kid Blanket for my sister for her baby that's due soon, and I wanted to share it with all of you. :) If you want to make one yourself and crochet, the link is here: 6 Day Kid Blanket

It took me longer than 6 days due to my Chronic Pain and Repetitive Stress Injury, but I'm still proud of it.

Fantastic thread!!! I am a crafter for many years. Very happy you started this thread.

Your work is beautiful! And thanks for the pattern!!

I crochet, I did a square blanket a few years back. All I did was to add three stitches at each corner. I just kept going doing that until it was about five feet on all sides. It is very heavy, great for winters. I will try to share a photo of it later.

Great thread! And great blankets ladies! :)

This was my first go at Cross Stitch.
In the UK, green, white and purple were the colours of the Women's Social and Political Union, led by Emmeline Pankhurst, just one of several organisations involved in the suffrage movement, but perhaps the most militant.

Beautiful work @Teasel!! And the meaning behind it makes it even more beautiful. I used to do cross stitch but can't see well enough to do it anymore. I miss it.

I'm going to find some things I have made and post pictures.

What other crafts do others here do??

Yay! A crafter's thread! I'm working on decoupaging a cabinet with chickens.

The second is a close up. I have to finish painting around the decoupaged areas, then repaint the cabinet part white.

I'm also decoupaging tin cans to plant in.



I gave away a bunch of the nice ones. These are fun.

This is a picture of...oh, it's a new chick, I didn't make that!

I did make this dresser. The bottom drawer is dirty since my dog got muddy in the night and laid next to it. I was too lazy to wash the mud off before I took the picture. This was my first attempt at this kind of thing.


I'm also working on another dresser and a gateleg table. Thanks for the thread, everyone's things are so nice.

I love them @DharmaGirl :) Great way to personalise things and decorate em how you want!

Ohhh @DharmaGirl you know I love the one with chickens!! Love it! Great job and a good hand.

LOVE the dresser with trees and birds!! Thanks for sharing your art with us.

I am going to love this thread. A LOT! Thank you @Chitoshi for starting it!!

@DharmaGirl I love the decoupag, especially the cabinet. i have done some of it in my younger years. I will see if I can find one.

This is a blanket my mom crocheted. It's probably twenty five years since she did it.

Please excusemy clutter in front of it.
