Hi I was wondering if any of you do other crafts than what you list in your shops just as a hobby?
Or even if people find time ?
Would love to see any makes x

I do lots of knitting that I don’t sell! Here are some Selbu socks I just finished. I also just bought an embroidery book and some needles. I don’t sew at all really, so it probably won’t come naturally!

I like to draw with superfine pen and sometimes finish pictures off with watercolour pens, it takes my mind off everything

I love many crafty hobbies as well as sewing and bag making that I list here. I make silver jewellery for myself. I knit, I like to mix essential oils. The list goes on.

The other Craft I do this time of year also is to make different advent calendars for both of our parents.
Last time it was 24 days of pieces to build one if my Christmas decoration house scenes.
They take forever but our parents always love waiting to see what they will get each year!

That’s pretty Donna @underneaththeeaves . I tried tracing an embroidery pattern this afternoon and realised just how unsteady my hand is at line drawing!
I also just ordered a couple of cheap moulds (the price of some moulds!!) and some wick to try making some candles with my beeswax, which is beginning to pile up now I’m into my 5th year beekeeping. It’s always seemed far too precious to burn up till now!

Hi I think us crafters just like to try anything. My main hobby these days is my mouse house which has become somewhat of an obsession over the last few years. I started making mice (?) and decided they needed a house so got busy with cardboard boxes and papier mache. Now we have a massive tree house in the living room. It’s a great have a go thing and I’ve made the dresser and beds and chairs and tables. Nothing is perfect but then it’s a tree house!

I have a bit of an obsession with collecting mice, I can see the appeal of a mouse house!
Just got a new mouse from a lady I follow on Instagram, she has just opened a shop on here.
It has a handmade coat, scarf and shoes !

Line drawing is hard that’s why it’s just a hobby for me, doesn’t matter if it ends up wonky lol 
The candles sound great, I love the smell of beeswax candles. You will have to show us when you have made some
