People always try to get me to help them with decorating or art projects because they think I'm creative. But being creative with characters and a plot is a lot different than drawing or painting or making something.Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267793335415078380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-9119902298001754442012-06-14T17:05:12.417-04:002012-06-14T17:05:12.417-04:00Thanks again for all of the comments.

I save my favorites (Little Women, any Austen titles, Harry Potter, etc.) for that time, and fall asleep with old friends :)<br /><br />I do want to learn how to quilt--might be my next project!Danielle Jackson Dresserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293766728921704640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-65327573046273640072012-06-14T16:30:40.956-04:002012-06-14T16:30:40.956-04:00Wow, Danielle!

It's been a while, but I used to crochet, sew clothes, paint, decoupage (when it was popular- LOL) among other things:)C.H.

I can put together flower arrangements okay, but that's about it. <br />My relaxing time is reading. Or on the internet and my book chats and blogs.. I like to watch TV and listen to music.. <br />I tried to learn to knit and crohet, but I just don't have the talent for it. I did do a needlepoint one time, but only once. <br />Oh well, we all have those that we are good at and I have always been told i set a nice table... So I have one talent at least.Kathleen Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750925187927330976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-82903345568868675002012-06-14T12:49:59.743-04:002012-06-14T12:49:59.743-04:00I love those bowls, Danielle.

Maybe if I made some I'd feel less guilty about how many magazines I subscribe to!<br /><br />Though I don;t have as much time to do it as I used to, I enjoy making contemporary quilts.Tamara Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248676173138017003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-58130279943827884362012-06-14T12:36:44.456-04:002012-06-14T12:36:44.456-04:00Love all your crafts.

Taught myself to crochet, some knitting, needlepoint, xmas ornaments, sketching etc. but now I tend to spend more time behind this computer. The TV is in the same room so I'm still doing two things as once lol. I do enter a lot of contests so at least something comes of it lol.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-73272736922378329352012-06-14T12:12:04.227-04:002012-06-14T12:12:04.227-04:00Danielle,

I find it so interesting that creative people are often "creators" of various things with different mediums. <br /><br />It's also nice to know I'm not the only crazy person who needs to have something to do all the time! :)Danielle Jackson Dresserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293766728921704640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-16535574385216467822012-06-14T10:51:38.508-04:002012-06-14T10:51:38.508-04:00Gorgeous stuff, Danielle!

It's fun to be able to create something that others believe look so good, they have to have been commercially produced!<br /><br />I make teddy bears from scratch and embroider their paws often, but I have also hooked rugs, embroidered Christmas tree ornaments, made quilts, cross-stitched and embroidered pictures, pleated, made cloth dolls and bears and the list goes on! :) I enjoy making bears while watching a movie or listening to an audio book, always have to do something else too!Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.com
