Darlene · Fri Apr 27, 2007 1:27 am I love to do this....

Knit and crochet. I always have something on the go. I have been making crocheted afghans from graphs and just am enjoying it so much.

Hubby and I have done different crafts before. Right now he is into dream catcher making. He loves making these and has quite a few made and some sold already.

We have done pretty punch, rug hooking, made cat tents, teddy bears, and he has done some woodworking. I am sure there are more crafts we have done, just can't think right now what I am missing.

I love crocheting beads on socks :) and making dream catchers something we are gunna be doing alot in the next few months for pow wows.

DHs 'craft' is model building He makes navy boats mainly he even has men inside of the boats sleeping and things that you cant see its funny how detailed these men have to be. He says he knows its there thats all that matters. :)

Wow that would take a lot of patience. I could never do little things like that. My hubby could, he has the patience for it.
I have tons of patience for things I enjoy like knitting and crocheting but that is about it. The rest hubby does mostly. I am going to get him to teach me how to do the dream catchers. I think he does a great job with them.
Its nice to see men interested in things like that too. Its not only for us women. :)

Yea it is. I think alot of crafts are for men or women but society says its for women ya know. I say pooy on them :lol:

Its not too hard to do the dream catchers. Im sure you can do it :)

Well I am going to give it a try anyhow. The only thing is I hate to take away from hubby's enjoyment. :) He has to teach me though how to make them so we will see.

I grew up doing lots of crafts and craft shows with my grandmother. That's part of the reason I joined Mia Bella - they encourage you to do crafty stuff. Lol. So I'll soon be making decorated votive holders, votive roses, melts, etc.

Dream catchers sound awesome. :) I love them. Afghans too.

Hubby works on the dream catchers and I do the afghans and things. We have made teddy bears and cat tents in the past too.
Here is the link to the afghans I have done up to now.

I just ordered the bee a new Redskin hoodie and 2 Redskin Tshirts this morning....for Christmas of course! He is a Redskin fan as you know and I am a Steelers girl...makes for interesting Sundays around here!

Darlene · Sat Dec 08, 2007 4:35 am

:lol: I bet it would make for interesting Sundays at your house.

I just finished an afghan I am giving my doctor for Christmas. He has done so much for us, I can call any time, day or night and he is there for me. So its about time I showed him a little appreciation. he has no idea its coming for him.

I just have to put the backing on and then the photo will be in my album.

Wow, I can't wait to see the picture of that afghan!!!

Darlene · Sun Dec 09, 2007 1:59 am

I am getting the material tomorrow for it and will get my son to take a picture with is digital camera for me. Then you can see the afghan. I am happy with how it turned out.

Next what I am going to make are some curtains for my grandson's room. It will have Lightning McQueen on them. At least if I can make them that is. They will be crocheted.
