Brand New Craft

I was just thinking, have you ever thought of trying a new craft? and more to the point, are you going to take the plunge and have a go?

I have always fancied having a go at lace making, it looks very complicated but I may try to find out more this year and finally have a go.

i did take up painting, and loved it, i did a few pictures i'm really pleased with, landscapes and beach scene's mostly.
when i get time i'll probably have another go, i was at home with the boys before.

I keep saying that i'm going to have a go at jewellery making. I bought a really good book but that's as far as I have got. Think I might have a look for some beads and maybe give it a go. At least I know how to make boxes!!

I keep saying I'm going to teach myself to crochet. I'm knitting a jumper at the moment, so maybe when I've finished that

Beads and stuff ordered, so waiting in eager anticipation for them to arrive!!

Hi Dee, just pm'd you, hope you find it useful. My DD makes loads of jewellery, its as addictive as card making .

Thanks for that. I'm looking forward to getting started. The book I bought is "Jewellery Making and Beading for Dummies", it's really good.

i can Crochet, my MIL (may she RIP) taught me 26 years ago, she wanted me to knit, but i put me foot down there (we where made to at school and i hated it!!!!!!!!!!!) i crotcheted matinee jackets (very ornate ones too) and lots of dressingtable sets! for everyone.

i've been tempted to get a jewellery kit to try, but i was faced with many and couldn't decide, lol.

My DD self taught herself to crochet really good, I can crochet a bit but nothing too fancy, might try to better myself at that too! I can imagine what your matinee jacket looked like MM as I have done "lacy" knit ones and they just look so gorgeous, you just cant buy em like that!
