The following is a nice Craft Site with various crafts and info. It has an interesting section on Scherenschnitte (papercutting). One of the message boards I happened upon had a post by someone who suggested going to the library and checking for books on Scherenschnitte.

I went to www.google.com and typed in scherenschnitte patterns in the search area and a number of sites came up. I also typed in papercutting patterns and found some sites.

I have supplies for many types of crafts- but I organize them then never get to them. Some of the things I am ready to start are:
Origami
Paper-pricking (doesn't that tempt you to make a witty remark?)
Drawing Celtic knots.
Faux painting
Making my own concrete stepping stones.
Mosaics.
Stained glass.
Fake stained glass.
Pergamano.
Rubber stamping
Scrapbooking.
Illuminated manuscripts.
crochet.
tatting.
knitting.
tassel making
silk ribbon flowers.
silk ribbon embroidery.
wood burning.
cross stitch.

As my house becomes cleaner and more organized I feel more optimistic about actually doing these things. Soon!

Dried floral arranging
Sewing folk art dolls
Quilting
Decorative painting (primitive style)
Soap making
Counted cross-stitch
Needlework
Other sewing projects but I haven't really spent time sewing clothes
Polymer clay

I had been selling my stuff at a craft mall and was getting quite a lot of money for it. Since I moved to the house I'm at now, I have a little problem finding the room to put all the stock and workshops (I needed 2 of them). Doing florals takes a lot of room.
So right now, I'm just doing stuff for myself.

Sue, I love the idea of sewing folk art dolls. I have a collection of Raggedy Ann and Andys. I would love to make cloth dolls. Do you use patterns?

Anyone tryed bobbin lace? I was trying to get all the stuff to try it, but I haven't done it yet. I have a feeling that will be another winter project.

Yep. One of those I forgot on my list.

I'm not sure what everyone means by bobbin lace but I tat usuing a small shuttle. Haven't done it in ages. I need to get it out again because I enjoyed that.

Bobbin lace is making lace using bobbins to hold the yarns/threads. Here's a link to tell/show you more -

I have a beginner's kit, which uses a piece of shaped styrofoam board instead of a pillow. The beginner's kit has let me try it without spending a lot of money. Maybe after my move, I'll get it out again and "play" with it. I tat, too, both needle tatting and shuttle tatting.

Hi Stacylu:

I love to quilt also. Belong to a local quilt guild. I am currently working on 3 quilts. That way I won't be bored with one.

I like to crochet, knit, needle point, and working with recyclables. Right now I'm in to Garden Art made from dishes, making purses and belts from pop can pull tabs, full size Halloween scary people and props made from household junk and recyclables.

I bet you'd enjoy plarn ("yarn" made from plastic grocery bags) crafts, Catnip.

This is a trash-to-treasure purse made from plarn and pop tops:

Oh Molly thank you so much. I love it. I will have to try one, when I get one done I will post a picture. Thanks again.
