Not a fair, per se. I sold greeting cards at the vegetable stand. Leila

No I havent but Im thinking about going on EBay to sell Antler Jewlery. Its not as bad as it sounds. We bye white tail deer antlers from ebay and then we make jewlery, smoking pipes of all kinds knifes and so on. We do chinees symbols what ever you want. But if you might be interested to all my nurse link friends everyone gets a discount price first one ,and anybody who gets me more people they get theres free, second one. Give me some ideas of what you might like, necklace, bracelet,earings, pipes to smoke or just todisplay, key chains. E-mail either at nurselink or at maria.woodard@yahoo.com. Thanks Maria

yes-I use to make & sell dried floral arrangements at craft shows and rented a booth at a craft store for a while. I didn't make much money but it was alot of fun. My daugher would help me at the shows. (I made my daughter's bridal bouquet.) She moved back home and I had nowhere to do it but I'm thinking about doing it again.

Currently craftless, no room, gave my sewing machine (a bernina I could kick myself) to my step mom because I couldn't fit it in my car. Hopefully soon, I'll be back sewing.

My mom taught me to knit and crochet. I mend things but don't really sew. I made my daughter moccasins for Native American Day in Jr. High. Her feet were too large for the pattern and I had to just wing it. Working with leather or suede is difficult. I have made craft items and enjoyed doing so when I had more time.

My mom sewed beautifully. When I was growing up, she made all my clothes. I don't have the patience for it. I can hem and mend and that's it.

I have an afghan that was made for me nearly 30 years ago. I cannot give it up because I know it was made with love.

sabradf: your picutres are very good. I love everyone that you have posted and look forward to seing more. I may forget the knitting and try to crochet. vicke you should go back to the crocheting and knitting. It would be good for you. what nice memomries you have. I envy that.

I started crocheting when I was a small girl but I always wanted to learn to knit. My mom was a seamstress and was unbelievably talented. She did beading on bridal gowns.I married my husband some 30 years ago and his mother was also a seamstress. I spent most of my life surrounded by all of these talented women but never learned to knit. Unfortunately, they allpasses before I could be taught. So I bought a book to teach myself. Somehow everything I make has turned into a scarf. I am having funwith it . Someday I may graduate to winter hats. Who knows miracles never cease. Aloha

I love crocheting, I have made each of my kids a blanket, and now am making one for my grandbaby due in March! I love macrame, ceramics, beading and most other crafts. I learned to sew from my Grandmother, but have not had a machine that works - or time to use one for a while!!! (Must be the nursing school syndrome!)

I admire anyone that can crochet and knit, my grandmother tried to teach me, but I couldnt get it. When my grandaughter wanted to learn I went to Walmart and bought a book for her, and the sales lady taught her.

Just in the short time that I have been sewing again I have found it to be a great way to relax. Sure beats sitting at this keyboard for hours.

cdnurse, I love sewing AND sitting at this keyboard! Whatever am I going to do when my classes start! :-)

thank you. I'm sure I am going to ask you to remind me of that in a few months! My classes begin in the spring and my grandbaby is due July 1st.

thanks, cd... and thats exactly what I'm doing. I'm off to physical therapy prescribed by a NP! (and from my Ortho).
Talk to you all again soon. have a super day!
