I like to sew too. My last sewing project was making pads and I LOVE them!!! At different times we've been into ATCs, making jewelry, making gem trees, felting and tons of other things too - LOL!

Artist Trading Cards
Great fun for kids and adults. There are so many cool things to do with them. I think kids love the 'tiny' canvas. Well, I like that too.
Looking above, I realize I left out knitting. I love to knit too but only do it in the winter. I'm hoping to make these neat slippers I found this fall.

Anna, were the pads hard to make? What did you use? I would love some info on those.

No, they are easy and forgiving. I got a pattern off of ebay. The woman actually lives in the Shelby area. I used french terry inside and Moda flannel outside. I gave some to a friend who has been using pads for years and she says they are the best she's ever used. They were my first but I LOVE them. I used to use Sea Pearls. They are nice too but I switched for various reasons. I wouldn't go back now, after these pads. They are super absorbent but really thin. Cost was behind my decision to make my own but now I know that these are just better pads too.

We LOVE crafts! I usually plan a few momsNkids craft parties every year. There isn't one thing I always do, just whatever. Sewing is a means to an end for me. Many of my crafts are. We have lots of stuff - currently boxed up, of course! :-( Painting, drawing, pastels, clay, card-making, paper making and paper crafts, tye-die, screenprinting, multimedia sculpture, jewelry, baskets, glass fusion, mosaic. I'd love to weld some metal someday! My kids have crocheted and knitted, and sometimes I think I'd like to knit, but I haven't gotten to it yet. Horsehair bracelets (not me). I don't think I could do something that takes a really long time to complete (at this time in my life, anyway!). I haven't done any felting, and I think we'll try that someday.

I like to sew-though I wish I knew more and was better at it. The last thing I made was all of my kitchen/laundry room curtains.
I love to cross-stitch. I love to cook and make my own pasta-not sure if that counts as a craft. I am interested in getting into soap making.

I've been thinking about making pasta. Do you have a pasta roller to make it thin or do you just keep rolling it and rolling it? I've been thinking about asking for one for Christmas. Since I also want to start making our crackers, I was thinking I could use the roller to make that dough really thin as it is not easy to do with a rolling pin when you lack patience like I do.

How many layers of terry did you use?
