Arts & Crafts - Introduction

WorkingitThrough2 October 5th, 2023

Arts and Crafts Forum
Relaxing and enjoyable


Check-in October 5th

Hello, howdy, and Welcome😊

I am WorkingitThrough2. Here is a little introduction to let you know who I am. I am one of the new Forum Supporters. I am excited to be here and share some information about myself. I am a person of creativity; I love most challenges in making things, from knitting, crocheting, sewing, coloring, and many DIY projects. I have dabbled a bit in inventing and had one of my projects on the Good Morning America Show. I did not win, but that was such a wonderful experience. I would love for you to share your pictures or tell us what types of things get your creativity flowing.

What is something that you made that you are Proud of? Explain.

What motivates you to pick a project?

@WorkingitThrough2 We are so glad you have joined us. I have enjoyed looking at your projects, you are really talented.

What is something that you made that you are Proud of? Explain.

I made a present for a friend's 21st birthday, it was a necklace of seed pearls and silver, she loved it and was amazed when I said I designed and made it myself ( so was I lol)

What motivates you to pick a project?

I like to have a challenge and also to have an end game - so knowing what I will do with the project, gift it, keep it, sell it etc. But I am a terrible buyer I have so much yarn and patterns lol I tend to buy when I see the supplies and then hoard them 🤣

@MistyMagic

Misty, I kind of do the same thing😊. I start a project and think of things to improve it and tear it down go buy what I want to try and wow, it's a cycle😂LOL

@WorkingitThrough2

i have over the years made quilts, stained glass, candles, soaps, cosmetics, painting and jewelry ….

A couple of weeks I brought out jewelry kits for my momma age 83 in personal care home for her and her friends to make …super fun and they have made 400! 💕💕

My momma is very crafty quilt, crochet, painting and so much more! She wanted something for her friends who wanted to make crafts but something easy … proud of my momma encouraging everyone.

My next trip to my momma bringing out things for a spa day!

That is so special, and wow, Mom is doing great things even at her age. That is so inspiring. I hope you have a great spa day and save room for me, I have never been to a spa😊

@Ralien

I thank you, Ralien for the kind words. I am like a kid in the candy store when it comes to crafting.

I also go on the web and look at projects to get some ideas. You do good work, keep it up😊

@WorkingitThrough2 that is beautiful, how long does it take and is it machine sewn?

1 reply
WorkingitThrough2 OP October 15th, 2023

@MistyMagic

The top pieces are sewn together as strips then I put a layer of batting inside and a warm flannel backing and hand-tacked the quilt together in various places to keep the batting in place when washing it.😊

@WorkingitThrough2 congrats on your achievements!!!

Your pics of the purses did not post. This forum rejects all dimensions higher than 1080px so resizing may help!!

I am extremely ill; I have taken on some light commitments here and nothing else because each day now is a gift.

I hope you figure out how to post the pics I want to see what you did!

Rogue I hope you get to feeling better real soon. The purses are on here, I saw them but you are right about the size. I am having to edit them before being able to post them. Thank you and please take care of yourself 🙏🏽

@WorkingitThrough2 FYI all dimensions must not exceed 1080px.

RogueOne1983 October 15th, 2023

@WorkingitThrough2 let me rephrase: no dimension can exceed 1080px. So if you have a graphic that is 800px × 2010px it will reject because of the dimension over 1080px.

Hope this helps!!

I just wanted to stop by and check on you and your health. I hope that extreme sickness. Will soon get better. I know it is no fun to be sick. Yes, I agree that every day is a blessing to be alive. I am grateful for that. Take as good of care for yourself as needed. Take a break if you need to. I want you to know that it has been my pleasure meeting you and all the other participants of the Arts and Crafts community.

I will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery😊🙏🏽
