Oh my! I love doing crafts, but I do not show them off because I feel that they aren't good enough.
I often make crafty games for my boys to play with.  I do some bookscrapping, needlepointings (plastic canvas, cross stitches, and cloth stitches), and kids crafts.

Interesting about that area.. I remember going to Lanchaster long time ago when I was around 15 years old, We went to NY for Niagra fall and Canada, then to Hershey Pa, then stop in Lanchaster on way home. We had so much fun when we were little  I am glad My Dad took us there.. Wendy |

In my livingroom, it is all Americana with country themes.. I will have to take pictures of it soon. I makes anything is wooded and I would painted them with country red, blue and white. It is pretty.. |

Does anyone here do any of the "ancient" crafts?
I do: blacksmithing, some bow making (as in bowyer/fletcher, you know - bows and arrows) and calligraphy. My wife does: blacksmithing, silversmithing and stained glass (glazier). BTW if anyone is interested in trying blacksmithing there's a major public demo happening (Age of Iron) at the Hancock Shaker Village in Hancock, MA on June 26th & 27th. The public can try their hand blacksmithing in the "Green Coal" area. At least 3 of the blacksmith demonstrators know some ASL. |
