Hi  Kristi!  We have some common interests.  I too make crafts, sew, and scrapbook along with other types of crafts. I also like to paint! I haven't figured everything out about CraftsU but will make a note to look at your profile in the next couple days.  I plan on being on CraftsU quite a bit this year. Take care and welcome! By-the-way, that is a beautiful Christmas Cactus in your picture.  My mother had hers bloom every year!  Unfortunately, I didn't inherit a green thumb from her and mine has never bloomed.

Hi Tina! It is nice to meet someone with common interests!! Awesome! I don't have green thumb either. They are supposed to be a house plant. Mine I got from my neigborh when we first moved in. I put it inside, but there is almost no light inside our house because we are in the shade completely surrounded by trees! So, after it almost died I put it outside and I didn't mess with it too much. If we didn't have rain for a couple weeks I would water it, but other than that it is just happy outside! I think I really should bring it in now, the freezes should nearly kill it at night, but it still looks so happy outside! I don't know what it is, once I killed an aloe plant. They are supposed to be one of the hardest plants to kill! Oh well, I figured whatever works. I did learn that most of the plants I added to our lives like it outside, even if they are a house plant, i had another one it is called I think it's a Crawling Jew. Weird name, but the leaves are sparkley and a wonderful purple color. It died though well just a few days ago when it got really cold for the first time, but I will have to get another it was so beautiful, it also hated being inside! haha! Well, thank for saying hello!

It was nice to hear back from you! Thank you! I'm thinking your Christmas catsus blossomed because of the cold.  My mother use to 'force' hers to blossom and she would keep it quite cool in the room wher she kept her plant. I also have a Crawling Jew, but I refered to it as a Wondering Jew. Mine was in bad shape so I just cut all the runnes off up to the bottom of the pot and it is growing 'like a weed' now! LOL! My house plants like the outside during the summer atime, but I need to bring them in during the winter because of the c0old and snow.

 

I noticed you like to sew and scrapbook.  What types of articles do you sew?  I have been sewing most my own clothes for years. I don't sew a lot for myself too much any more though. I need to add some more pictures to my home page to show what I do for crafts.  I make pillows, placemts, adn pot holders.

 

I alsolove to scrpabook.  Although I do offer the servive as part of my business, I have only scrapped for personal books to give to my family.  I like scrapbooks because you can do just about anything for a page.  I would get bored crafting the same ting all the time, which is why I craft with a variery of mediums. My next two stpes will be beads/jewerly and wood burning.

 

Talk to you soon! Tina

Hey again Tina, I have sewn some easy beach bags, aprons, crafts bags, pot holders, curtains for my house actually several of them! Oh gosh what else, I made some wine bottle holders and some hot/cold therapy bags filled with rice, I have made fitted sheets for the crib when the babies were younger. It was cheaper than buying them, but hard on the hands!! I am sewn so many things. I don't feel like I have sewn that much but now that I am talking about it I realize I have done much more than I knew! haha!

 

Oh, I think it is called the Wondering Jew. heheha ooops! With the scrapbooking thing I have not done any in a little while, but I have only done them for personal use also. I have given many people in my family a scrapbook.

 

There are many crafts I would love to do, but my Crafts space is small, and I always have forty things on my list that i would like to do mostly with knitting and sewing! Okay I will talk to you soon!!

Hi Kristi,

I used to knit when I was a girl at home, as one of my grandmothers that knitted all the time taught me. Haven't done that in a very long time and look forward to see what all you are creating. I have a shop on etsy also and will look for your stuff there too. Good luck to you!

Beth
