My first crafty post:)

I have been posting on my other blog about my new found love of crafting. It's not really new, in that I have always loved making things with my hands. When I was a young teenager, my grandmother used to make these duck baskets. She would sew this stuffed duck, and we would take bushel baskets and fill them with stuff like moss, artificial cat-tails and other flowers, sit the duck in them and sell them. They sold like hotcakes for $25 a piece. She taught me how to make the bows for the fronts of the baskets, and she would give us a cut of the profits. She would sell them, and then take us on a vacation to the beach with the money. We had such a good time sitting on her carport with the hot glue gun dripping all over, looking at the her creations.

What is new about this love of crafting for me are the ideas that I keep getting, and the way the internet has opened up a whole new world for me in this area. I think of things, look them up, and see that I can do them. My recent attempts have produced some really great work, I think. You will have to give me your opinions:)
