Hiya
Lets see, I have just started knitting, I crochet, I sew a little, I weave (rigid heddle loom), I spin (again just starting out), I felt (wet and dry, new to this too), I cook and preserve and, well I have a blog about it all here:
My Blog

(this is my first finished project really) :)
and these are little felted shapes I made for my cousins-in-law's new little boy

Pop to your local library or book store and see if they have any of Debbie Browns cake decorating books. She has amazing cakes with really easy to follow instructions. We found Michaela's kitten on a ball of wool birthday cake instructions in Debbie Browns "50 easy party cakes"

Also there's a website www.familyfun.go.com. They have heaps of cake ideas, fire engine one is there (including a video demonstration). Here's the link http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=50131

Have fun!!

Emma I can sooo understand about finding places so wee fingers dont get them, I have just bought a 2nd spinning wheel off tm so the girls can "do their spinning" at the same time, I crochet mainly blankets, knit (very slow) little hats, bootes, jerseys, I like doing electronic crafty stuff - presentations, invitations (did our own wedding invitations) I love doing any crafty thing & keeping my hands busy. I enjoy trying new things & seeing how things work out if you just change this or don't use this but that instead.  Drawing & sketching - thats just fun/relaxing for me]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2008 00:05:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=274741&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#274741 <![CDATA[Calling all crafty mamas! : Maya wrote: And Nikki, I think...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=274725&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#274725 Author: nikkitheknitter

I love to bake cakes and have been told I make good cakes and slices, but I can't decorate them nicely, which is a pain (suppose I should really try!) My sister, on the other hand, is amazing at decorating cakes (if I'm allowed to be a proud little sister ) and has always done everyone's cakes since she was 15. Here are a few examples of her skills...

I'm crafty in a different way.

I love my gardens both vege and flower. I also like to make food things from scratch. I have made chicken nuggets with no added yuckies and the same with Fish Cakes. And bread in the bread maker and the dough to make other things.

And I love making cakes, I make my friends children's birthday cakes for her.

lol Nikki that sounds like i would do, mum would say ohhh look i like this, and i would go "ooh but i like this more!"

where do i start...

Crochet: I started a single bed blanket in the colours of the rainbow for my sister's little boy when she was 4 months pregnant. 5 and a half years later it's still sitting in the wardrobe with 7 squares to go until it's complete. ooops.

cuddly bags. I still have 2 left that just need to have zips in them, and finally only a few months back finished the ones that i started when i was pregnant with ayja.

again.. sewing. I have stuff cut out like pants, really styly ones, from when i was 19, that just need sewing but no use actually doing it now since they'd never fit my hips in a million years now!

and scrapbooking.   I did 2 pages of Paris's scrapbook when she was a baby. I have made it my goal to finish this and actually start one for Ayja. So far have done 4 pages in the last week - pretty good with work thrown in.

Oooh, inspiration. Now, if I could just get this presentation and handout finished I could get on with some handcrafts. Pre children I used to knit, X-stitch and do a little scrapbooking, now I knit occasionally. Currently work, kids and study keep me busy....but come May when the course ends and Cam starts school....ooh, Spotlight, here I come!!! ]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:59:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273587&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273587 <![CDATA[Calling all crafty mamas! : Ooo, some cool stuff here!

Ooo, some cool stuff here! You girls have inspired me to go home tonight and get back to finishing some of my projects!

I cross-stitch (and design my own patterns/designs), knit (clothes and small dolls/toys), sketch and have been looking at getting into scrapbooking lately too... oh and I enjoy other projects like card/invite making and what the centre pieces I did for the tables at my wedding.

Guess you could say I'm fairly ecclectic! ]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:38:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273576&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273576 <![CDATA[Calling all crafty mamas! : Here is some of the jewellery...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273541&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273541 Author: cuppatea

My mum-in-law is really good at knitting too. She's had 8 children and 19 grandchildren so far so lots of practice at it. She whips up a new jersey or cardi in a few days so I don't even try.

I love those longies, might have to ask her to make some for Michaela (I have no qualms asking for stuff, she'll just tell me to bugger off if she doesn't want to - lol).]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 09:37:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273470&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273470 <![CDATA[Calling all crafty mamas! : Wow that cake is impressive!!!!!!!!

Wow that cake is impressive!!!!!!!!

I'm a sewer (funny that lol).. I use to do cross stitch but really can't be bothered with it anymore.

I've done lots of painting (did some for Daniels room) but I'm not overly artistic either.

My MIL annoys me with how good she is at knitting because I totally suck at it! She can just look at something and then knit it perfectly, no pattern whatsoever even if it is really complex she can copy off a photo or something.]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 09:26:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273460&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273460 <![CDATA[Calling all crafty mamas! : Katherine, you should definitely...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273447&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273447 Author: The_Stuarts

Katherine, you should definitely start a blog to inspire the rest of us (or at least me anyway!)

Look, I just found the pics of the dress and cake which I'm so proud of.

Nikki, I looooooooove those longies! One of my mates knits for Emma Rose, but she's moved to Dublin, so we get knitty parcels every six months or so. The last one was a gorgeous rose-pink shrug. I wonder if there's a nice way to ask for some longies? Probably not. LOL. I am just grateful for whatever she gets!

I'm currently incubating the pattern for a baby quilt for some friends in Japan. The baby is due in February and it's not a difficult quilt to make, but getting started is so hard! I want to start a crafty blog for myself like Nikki's but I'm not sure how motivated I am... or who would read it. Hmm...

I enjoy sewing and cross stitch but haven't done either in ages.

I designed and made a dress for Michaela's 1st birthday (in Stuart tartan) and my hubby and I made her a really cool cake which I'm so proud of, I'll attach pics as soon as I find them.

I have heaps more Stuart tartan fabric left so I'm planning on making her another dress soon (I've being saying that for about 9 months now).]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 08:44:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273442&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273442 <![CDATA[Calling all crafty mamas! : Well lets see I have the following...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273441&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273441 Author: caliandjack

Well lets see I have the following projects all in a state of unfinishedness.

1 x winnie the pooh cross stitch brought in 1999 when I was living in Scotland.
1 x scarf half knitted started in 2003
oh and the 1 x quilted baby blanket which i even brought the sewing machine for back in 2005.

So yeah while I love starting craft projects, I'm terrible at finishing them.

The only thing I manage to make and finish is my baking.]]> Wed, 09 Jan 2008 08:38:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273441&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273441 <![CDATA[Calling all crafty mamas! : i used to make teddy bears, that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273429&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273429 Author: my2angels

Oooo, tomorrow I'll figure out some pics of things in progress.

I try my best to finish stuff (as I have the attention span of a small child) so I don't have a lot of stuff on the go - except for knitting.

Actually, I lie... I have a whole lot of abandoned projects that clearly took longer than Hannah's afternoon sleep. This may just be the motivation I need to finish them!!

Next quest is to get into making funky cushion covers. ]]> Tue, 08 Jan 2008 23:04:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273351&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273351 <![CDATA[Calling all crafty mamas! : cross stitch and would really...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13458&PID=273343&title=calling-all-crafty-mamas#273343 Author: 11111

One of my new year's resolutions is to sew and quilt more, since I love doing it but rarely make time. I've got the sewing machine out and a big pile of UFOs awaits me, so I thought I'd procrastinate a bit more and find out what the rest of you do, craft-wise. I know nikkiwhyte is a knitter-natterer and sewer, so hopefully she'll jump in here and share some of her projects, but what does everyone else have on the go? I want to see photos!
