Show me crafts...

December 2nd, 2011
I love to do crafts and I love seeing what others make as well. So show me your crafts, whether they are ones you personally made or that others have made for you! Here are some of my shots of stuff made by my mom, my kids, and by me.

The Christmas I was six, I got this doll from my parents along with a beautiful doll wardrobe, part of which is seen here,

One of many ornaments I made for our Christmas tree in the early years of our marriage.

A baby quilt I made for a friend.

I am fascinated by how intricate the crochet work is on this piece made by my aunt many years ago. I am a crocheter, but I can't imagine the countless hours it took her to complete it.

@5unflow3r those egg ornaments are too cute! I especially love the globe one.

@smevvy the knitted sweater and booties are precious! I know how to knit but I am just too impatient. Good job.

@myla love the tree!

@brumbe those are cool! I have done underwater basket-weaving. But none of mine look as well-crafted as your mother's work.

I love making all kinds of artsy crafty things. My husband and I both work in the animation industry so it was only natural that we would make our wedding cake topper:
