I have done papercraft, crochet, knitting, cross stitching, latch hook & sewing. Would love to try candle making.

I would like to learn more beading techniques, like peyote and brickwork - there are some fabulous designs using those.  I’ve also got this dream that one day I will have learned to quilt and will make some American style heirloom quilts.

Time is scarce ‘cause I work full time, but if I wasn’t working then money would be scarce. Can’t have it both ways I guess LOL

I’d probably like to make some clothing! I studied fashion in collage and made a skirt, but that was a couple of years ago and don’t know where i@d get the blocks for it lol. Also I don’t know if this is the right term or whatever but glass blowing? I drive past a factory that does it when i go to visit my mum and they have this great sculpture outside all lit up it looks really fab.

why not try and start a craft group? it does not have to be formal teaching, actually the best usually start from someone with a skill being willing to share. once you meet with perhaps just four people there will be one who has a different skill. so plan on a four week session learning the new technique. the thing is for everyone to be open to try even if not initially interested.
lots of things do not cost money, like dough craft, but can be really challenging.
if the group can afford it, bring in an outside tutor for one evening(a good source is meeting a craft worker at a fair and asking them if they live locally).
am back to the uk tonight for a few weeks, but will be returning here to Greece to get organized for our September course.
(also a week in Oct. half term) can not wait to go to a craft fair again, and see an english river (even in the rain).
but i expect i will be equally glad to be back here with the sun, sea and sand. check out our web http://www.lindoscardandcraft.co.uk to see my Greek home and you will see why i would miss Greece as well.
yes, i know how lucky i am, and even look forward to the winter when it is all quiet and i spend more time on the forum, bye for now josie

I would love to make a rug.  I bought a latch hook kit ages ago but haven’t got around to doing it.  I’d also love to try making candles as I use so many of them but I also think it’s a bit odd to set fire to something you’ve just made!

I would like to get back to sewing if I had a decent machine. I have never tried patchwork quilting. jewellry making is another one but I don’t know about the eyesight for that one.Do love trying new things but they need to be short time span or I get fed up easily.
