Are You Crafty?

Mr. DS

Just wondering if anyone has any talents in the realm of crafts.  I actually have no talents in that realm.   :bouncegiggle:  I keep kind of a simple scrapbook regarding my accomplishments/articles about me at work but nothing too artsy. 

My wife runs a creative bow making service online.  She also makes other things revolving around fashions for little girls.  

So how about you?  Do you do any kind of crafts?  If so, what kind?

I'd say I'm more cagey than crafty. Maybe even wiley. :tongueout:

I'm a moderately good Christmas present wrapper.  That, you know...involves bows and stuff.

This is about as crafty as I get.

I like crafts and the like. I'm perfectly capable of that kind of thing. Alas, I just don't have the time for it. I would love to get into woodworking, and one day plan to build my own bar in the house. I would also love to be able to make my own furniture. Someday.

Damn.  I was looking for someone to build me a bar 6 years ago.  I ended up buying a nice one at Jordan's Furniture.  It's "J" shaped and seats 6 people comfortably.  The back of the bar has a rack for hanging wine glasses, several drawers and shelves, a lazy-susan under the counter so you can put your liquor bottles on it and spin it around to get the one you want, and a couple of metal trays that I usually fill up with ice and then stick beer bottles in to keep them cold.  I would have gladly asked you to build me a bar instead.   :cheers:

Film is my art so, yeah, I guess I am crafty in a way.  :teddyr:

Somewhat.  I've done leatherwork, braid stuff, build simple things like horse jumps, bake gingerbread houses and I make...things...out of boxboard and recycled materials (mainly as props for plays and Halloween costumes).  I used to like to paint and sketch a bit but have not had time for that in years.

I'm crafty, all right.  I can't be trusted at all    :tongueout:

Seriously, though, I'm pretty crafty.  I knit and sew and I will be trying my hand at painting in the coming months.  I've even been thinking of taking an online course in interior design.

Sometimes I make trouble. Does that count as crafty?  :teddyr:

I guess you'd call me crafty. I make jewelry, have done some woodwork (nothing really grand, but the stuff I made is still being used), and made some cheesy movie props for some of my & my friends' cheesy movies. I like making things, though I don't always have the time, especially now, as I just started a new job.
