I just did some early January cleaning, and unearthed my craft bin, but now I have all this great stuff like stamps, random cool-looking paper, some string, a glue gun, and the list goes on! So, I was wondering if anyone else was crafting so I could maybe find some inspiration for a project of my own/steal some ideas. I can only lurk around craftster.org for so long, and that usually inspires me to buy more crafting supplies, rather than use the ones I have redface

Anything interesting going on in your craft lives?

I'm crocheting some dish clothes for my mother-in-law. And I got a scrapbook and a gift card to Hobby Lobby to start scrapbooking, which I've never done before, so I'm pretty excited about that 3nodding

I've been mostly knitting eighty million headscarves, by which I mean three. Wool headscarf = very useful when you keep the thermostat at 60 degrees. (maybe I'll take pictures and draw up the pattern to post tomorrow or something smile )

I was working on some cardboard props for a game we were gonna be running in February, but it was cancelled for lack of players so I dunno if I'll get around to finishing them. Building stuff with multiple layers of corrugated cardboard is so freaking useful. I also re-enforced a cardboard box juuust the right height to put my computer monitor on so it's at the correct ergonomic height, then covered it with some pretty paper we had lying around.

I've been mainly involved in fixing things lately. I've sewn up some clothing that needed alterations and finally got around to fixing some broken jewelry...

I'm tempted to make one of the olive oil lamps that onicoe posted directions for...

Hi if you have HEAPS of scap fabric why dont you make a quilt, patch work or mini bear like the ones in Better Homes and Gardens? If you have string you could french knitt with your fingers and create long cords. If you have ply wood you could make madle air planes. It all depends on what you have.
Good Luck!
