I was thinking it would be awesome for people to have a place to talk about crafting, as that is a MAJOR part of my, and many other peoples lives ^.^
So, what kind of crafts do you do? Any tips for people who are just starting your craft? What is your favorite thing you've ever made? What kinds of crafts do you specialize in? What does your craft mean to you?
Crafts to me, are hobbies like scrapbooking, knitting, woodworking, or anything else really that's a creative endeavour outside of traditional arts ^.^ I'd also include my other hobby, DIYing.

I do a lot of different crafts because I have the attention span of a peanut. The ones that have stuck with me the longest are definitely knitting and DIYing random things (I've made jewlery holders, a fancy bulletin board that's fabric backed with a hand made frame, dream catchers...). They both stem from my anxiety disorder, and my therapists idea that doing things with my hands when anxiety is overwhelming would be helpful. It has helped me so much, and gives me a sense of achievement along with allowing me to focus my nervous energy and thoughts on something relaxing and productive.
I hope this doesn't belong in the museum xD y'all can post pics but this is more for talking with eachother than sharing our finished work
