I rescue cats that have been abandoned and mistreated. Right now I have a lynx-point Siamese and a Ragdoll and an English Shorthair. The others are various hybrids. A couple have medical problems that keep me busy with special diets and medications. Lately, I have acquired 8 baby possums in my garage. The mothers were killed. One by a car. The other by a dog. I don't get out a lot, so I do all kinds of crafts, especially cross stitch, crochet and embroidery. I teach crafts to childern at the local American Legion. I'm thrilled to find a group to "talk crafts".

craft interests: crochet, embroidery, holidays, paper crafts, quilting, sewing

Re: Calling All Crafters...

I make light weight wreathes by wrapping styrofoam wreath forms, all sizes, with that white, fluffy, curly hair-like stuff. I add small decorations and silk holly and flowers. They're so light, I can hang them on a pin. Another neat decoration is to spray nuts with gold paint and add them to your wreaths. I do easy bows by sewing a narrow rectangle, open at the bottom, encasing a length of matching ribbon anchored inside the rectangle at the top. Just pull the ribbon, and you have a "scrunch" bow.
