that's really cool! what kind of crafts do you make?
i had my first craft show at the end of spring this
year. the turn-out was okay, but it was a new craft
show (many shows are known for a certain time and
place every year, but this was a brand new one).

i definitely learn a lot from it! i may or may not be
doing a christmas show. i'm moving soon and just don't
know if i'll have the time to make enough inventory
before the shows start-up, but we'll see!

good luck  :wave:

I have made beed necklaces, flower arrangements with plastic fern, painted and sprinkled tiny boxes with sparkles, made towel angels and door wreaths.
I made a snowman one Christmas out of Styrofoam *bleep*.

I love making crafts. I feel it's very relaxing. I make a lot of different crafts but my favorite is jewelry making mostly with beads and crystals. I haven't been in any craft shows but I think it's a great idea. I think making crafts unites people to all the artisans of the past whose work inspires us today. :wave:

Yes, I do crafts all the time. My favorite is crocheting and im trying to get more into the sewing.
I have never done a craft fair mainly because I work weekends and do not have the extra time.

I make beaded necklaces and bracelets. I twist the sting to make it look a certain way which is cool I learned to do that last summer. A friend taught me and I have enjoyed it ever since.

I knit, crochet and sew. Every time I find cute stuff wherever, I always try to make it myself and it usually turns out really good :thumbsup:
My next big project (I mean sizewise, not techniquewise) will be a indoor play teepee for my little girl :wave:

Most things I make are from kits as I am not at all artistically inclined.  I have made awesome Christmas stockings, and lots of other Christmas decorations.  I have probably made about 50 afghans for presents.  I also do crossstitch baby quilts.  They take a long time to do.  I used to sew - have made everything from drapes to kids clothes to Barbie clothes.

I like to crochet. I've made blankets, hats and stuffed animals. I started to sew last year and made heating pads with rice inside. They made very nice Christmas gifts.

I used to teach elementary school children and the most popular crafts were the diarama's for thanksgiving and the bird/butterfly mobiles for the spring.  I made a sample craft every season to keep me excited about teaching it to the kids.
