Do you DIY?

I looooove crafts! I just saw the cutest cat nip baby sock toys on Martha Stewart! I just wish I had more time. Do you DIY? Post your stuff here!

Re: Do you DIY?

  • I did a TON of DIY stuff for our wedding!  I did our flowers, invites, place cards, table numbers, and my friend did our programs.  I like to do those sort of things.  Now if you ask me to make curtains or pillows... not happening.  lol  I can crochet, but its not my favorite thing to do.  I wish I were more crafty though, but I don't have a lot of time for it either.
  • I don't know how to do anything! I'm not very crafty or artistic at all. I'd like to get into scrapbooking, I've even bought some paper and an album for the baby, but have no idea where to even start. Can we plan another scrapbooking GTG? Maybe you girls could come to my rescue and show me how to get started?
  • Stacie we would looooove to have another scrapbooking GTG! Let us know when you are available!
  • I sew.  I am making baby a quilt (my friend's kids still use theirs at 6 and 10), a couple of window valances, and pillows for the nursery.  BUT....had to take my sewing machine in to the shop so I am now on hold.  I also am in the middle of crocheting a thow-rag rug.  I don't really enjoy crocheting but have been working on this one rug for a few years....I go in spurts!

    I am not a scrapbooker.....never interested me.  Would like to maybe make some cards, though.  I am planning on getting a kit and making my own baby announcements:)

  • Yes, we definately would love to show you some scrapbooking tips.  It's really fun once you get into it.
  • Ive tried some crafty things with my mom but I just can never get into it...Its surprising too because my family is very creative and talented.. but I guess mine comes in the form of frosting and only frosting.... I would rather buy it then spend the time trying to figure it out!
    I did scrapbook a lot in the past but I just cant seem to find the time to do it anymore,..... I wish I had the space to get it all out and leave it... then I would do it more...
  • My sister and I made a sock monkey that is absolutely adorable. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to knit and I've made tons of stuff (my most recent 'awesome present' story is a Baby Yoda hat for our friend that is a Star Wars nut... he put it in the bag to take to the hospital for the baby's birth). My next project is to knit a really neat curtain for my bathroom. I also love to paint and I've made a few paintings on canvas. I'm looking for a sewing machine b/c I know how to do that, too. I also made almost everything for our wedding. I really like being crafty!!

  • I just re-read my post... I swear I didn't mean it to sound as "I'm better than you" as it does. I just really like doing crafts!

    Oh and Sabrina, I think you have something in your siggie that makes everything after you turn to bold!
